Tilllak makes out the words Refuge and Sacrifice. It's clearly a magical cipher.

After battling the skeletons, Votin surmises that he seems to have entered some sort of tomb.

Trying not to breathe too much, he inches forward.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

If Tillak can, he opens the door and follow Votin's trail.

Votin emerges into a tiny 2 ft walkspace hemmed in by a wall of shelves filled with glass bottles. He can see a second row of shelves beyond this one. The walkspace goes to the left 1 foot and 4 feet to the right and turns left around the shelf.

Mimicking Votin's moves, Tillak pulls the same handle and the same drawer emerges from the metal discus.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

No room to swing an axe Votin draws his dagger and moves to the end of the aisle.

Tillak enters. [Is it big enough to enter, lol?]

Votin can see that there are actually 4 rows of shelves of glass bottles.
And there is a two ft wide stairwell leading up inside the wall beside him.

The drawer is 2ft by 2ft by 6ft long. It is lined with worm out cloth. There are two handles inside on the walls.
Tillak should be able to lie down inside with weapons holstered just like Votin did.

Tillak searches the perimeter of the device, looking for another way in.

The metal discus is embedded in the rock on both sides.

Votin examines the bottles for labels or visible ingredients, if he doesn't find anything he will make his way to the stairs.

Re: The Scorched Sanctuary

Tillak, searches the bodies of the men for tinder and flint. If they have it, that means that he has a way to relight his torch once he's inside the drawer on the other side. Once he has tinder and flint, he douses his torch and lays down in the drawer and pulls the handle.

The bottles are the same as Votin found near the dead priest. They are not marked in any way but there are many dozens lining all these shelves filled with a pinkish liquid.

Tillak finds 3 tinderboxes among the men and 200 total gp in pouches.
[Tillak +200XP]
The first man Tillak gutted before he even drew his weapon has an unusual scabbard.
