When the door comes open, a rush of warm, aromatic air greets you. The room is lit with a sanguine glow. On the wall opposite the door are tacked several animal hides from exotic beasts.

To the right the walls are highly polished. They loosely enclose an intricately carved well that seems to be illuminated from within. Beyond the well, mounted on the wall, is a blackened mirror with a richly ornamented frame. Directly above the well, in the twenty-five-foot-high ceiling, a five-foot-wide opening can be discerned in the red light of the room.

To the left the room widens to accommodate a statue that towers almost to the 25 foot high ceiling. The statue is a blue ogre with a gaping mouth wide enough to swallow a horse whole. It wears two necklaces of braided leather from which dangle multiple skulls of various humanoids. It is seated atop a basin of red hot, glowing coals, more than ten feet in diameter.

Scattered around the statue is a pile of splintered bones, skulls with cracked pates, and broken weapons.?

In front of the display is a Tabaxi monk kneeling prostrate in worship pose holding a long spear gripped tightly in its fingers and chanting mantras in an unknown tongue. A sleek black panther paces around near him.

And what do you do?
