 A room opens up with ledges running down both outer walls and a dais in the middle of the room rising out of the water. There are chains hanging from the ceiling above it. Rinn moves through a little bit of water to get to a ramp to go up a ramp to one of the ledges. Everyone else came in and followed up on this ledge but misty when to the other ledge. At the opposite end of the room is a grotto with a mound of garbage and rotting stuff inside of it. The smell if very bad.
-Rinn can't see anything else about the alter from the ledge. Snoggly casts light on one of the chains. Rinn moves to the other end of the ledge, closer to the garbage. The smell causes him to be nauseated. (disavantage on any saves involving strength, dexterity, and wisdom) Rinn backs away from that, and made his way back to the other end and walks through the water to the dais.

When nothing happens, he walks through the water to the dais. Once there he searches all around the dais. He finds nothing.

+Rinn climbs up onto the top of the dais and as he does, the shadowy figures come out on the ledges. Seven on each side. They wielded some black torches that seemed to suck up the light. Their faces are void and they begin to chant in union saying, "One must die", "One must die", "One must die". Rinn moves up to the ledge and they seem to not be physical. He could walk right through them.
+Snoggly responds that "It won't be one of us that dies!" He uses his staff to take a swipe at one and nothing happens as it passes through them. Snoggly then removes the light from the chain and casts it on the alter instead. It doesn't seem to change anything. Kyana casts Radiance of Dawn. it also appeared to have no affect.
+Rinn makes his way back to the garbage in the back of the room. When he gets close he can see body parts and entrails, and bones. The smell sickens him again.
+Kyana moves up and down the ledge sprinkling holy water and attempts to bless the area. She moves to both ledges and the to the alter.
+Rinn has to back away as it's almost overpowering. Dain moves down to assist Kyana and though the smell is quite disturbing and horrid, he manages not to let it overwhelm him. Kyana continues to bless and and sprinkle holy water on the alter. Then she moves through the water towards the garbage pile and is also able to withstand the smell in her steadfast determination to rid this place of whatever evil is here.
+Dain tried to push the alter over. He braced and pushed to try to knock it over but it doesn't move. Snoggly looks for any writing on it but doesn't see any. Kyana suggests that maybe we should check the chains but Dain starts wailing on the alter with his hammer.
+We have surmised that the shadowy figures want us to sacrifice something on the alter. There isn't anything to sacrifice and even if there were, we were loathed to do it. Dain really starts to tear apart the alter with his war hammer. The chanting stops. Feeling good about shutting them up, he is disheartened to hear them start up again. This time they chanted "Arise demon, we awaken thee!" Dain continues hammering on the alter. Out of the mass comes a giant figure, a shambling mound of bone and flesh. It moves towards us.
+Stay tuned for more adventures in the catacombs beneath Durst Manor!
