Skull Gallery:
Similar beeswax candles are placed methodically here on the narrow shelves, and the same roughly engraved pentagrams hide in the shadows beneath them as in the previous rooms. There are bleached human skulls carefully lined and meticulously stacked against the walls. Their vacant and unblinking eyes follow you in the low candlelight, seemingly pleading with you to escape while you still can. Their slack jaws are still filled with yellowed teeth, some biting into the foreheads of their neighbors below when the lower jaw has been lost. Spider webbing is veiled over all of them like an ornate silken death shroud. Long white femur bones serve as a barrier between the living and the dead, held together by some sort of sinew. Disturbingly large spiders hide in-between the cracks in the skulls, darting in and out of the empty eye sockets, trying to avoid being seen by any potential prey. You think these spiders look to be even larger than the bird-sized insects.
