THE TEMPLE OF ELDORADIMON

The metal brazier is fixed firmly to a stone pedestal carved into the floor. It burns wilfully, with no signs of faltering. If you were to blow on the fire, it would barely move.

There is no fuel within the stone brazier, only the torch beside it.

Do you:

- Inspect the primitive symbol
- Inspect the mural
- Light the torch
- Inspect the brazier
- Try and open the doors

The torch goes up with a satisfying whoosh. The flames lick at the scraps of pitch-soaked cloth hungrily. There is not much fuel remaining. 

Do you:

- Inspect the primitive symbol
- Inspect the mural
- Light the torch
- Inspect the brazier
- Try and open the doors by hand
- Light the sconces on the left door
- Light the sconces on the central door
- Light the sconces on the right door

As the sconces either side of the central door are lit, a mechanism begins to rumble underground. A cloud of centuries-old dust floods into the room as the stone panel slowly begins to grind upwards. You have opened the door.

There is a small amount of cloth left on the torch. If you are quick, you can light the sconces on either the left or right door, but definitely not both.

Roll 1d10+ATH. If the value is higher than 9, you are quick enough to light the sconces next to one of the other doors -- whether it's the left or right is up to you.

Do you:

- Inspect the primitive symbol
- Inspect the mural
- Light the torch
- Inspect the brazier
- Try and open the remaining doors by hand
- Light the sconces on the left door
- Light the sconces on the central door
- Light the sconces on the right door

Your failure to light the last sconce in time is, ultimately, a disappointment. The flames quickly devour the last scraps of pitch-soaked cloth, and the torch is extinguished. There is only one path to take now.

As you advance through the door, a straight, stone path, only a wheelchair's width, greets you. It is entirely covered by the same stone, forming walls and a curved ceiling. It feels sturdy, although somehow exposed to the elements -- from what you saw outside, this temple seems to be suspended somehow in the air. You imagine this pathway is no different.

The doorway at the end of the path appears quickly, and, this time, it opens as you approach. As you move inwards, a great dome, ten or fifteen times the size of the first room, greets you. It is carved of the same, ancient grey stone -- though great murals telling the story of ElDoradimon are now not just carved onto the doors, but in fact painted in grandiose scale on the walls and ceiling of the dome.

As you cross the threshold, candelabra upon candelabra light in sequence, illuminating the dome in its entirety. On each side, there are grand staircases, which lead to platforms adorned with golden altars, golden vases, golden railings -- seemingly existent for the express purpose of inspecting the murals.

The floor of this great atrium is carved with intricate, painted patterns, fresh with untarnished gold leaf. At its centre, there are three small creatures you can't quite make out. They appear to be incapacitated or unconscious.

Behind them are three ramps, leading to three platforms, upon each of which there stand sets of ancient stone double doors, beset with precious gemstones and gold.

Do you:

- Look at the left-side mural
- Look at the ceiling mural
- Look at the right-side mural
- Examine the creatures
- Approach the creatures
- Attack the creatures
- Attempt to sneak around the creatures towards the doors (roll 1d100 + (ATH x 10), requires a value of 80 or higher to be successful)

The splendid ceiling mural shows one fantastic scene. Now painted in full, rather than a primitive carving, the city upon ElDoradimon's back is quite clearly under siege. The monster's head conceals an expression of twisted pain, as indeterminate Digimon defend and attack the city upon his shell.

It is a beautiful display of utter chaos.

The left-side mural shows a beginning to the story. The first, left-most painting appears to be ElDoradimon, standing tall with thick undergrowth brushing his ankles. Upon his back, the city gleams and flourishes in the sun. The second painting is one of the illustrious and industrious city upon the giant Digimon's back, everything glistening under beating sunlight. It's all made of gold.

The third painting sees a colossal table, with two dozen tall, hooded figures -- some vaguely discernable as Digimon -- stood around it. Visible from a window in the corner of the meeting room is ElDoradimon.
