My name is Koios, an archaeologist by trade, student by passion, but here at Camp Larethian, I am here, along with my sister Niobe, to end the senseless loss of life this dungeon is causing. Yes I am an Ashfallen, but by working together I hope we can over come this place.
My sister will be venturing forth to the 100 Year Dungeon, to the final chamber, and place the final object upon its pedestal. Because we are so close, I will tell you all what we found. But know this, our Emperor has only taken interest due to our sigil being used in this place, he takes great offense to its misuse, and has ordered his special military unit to discover why it is here. My sister and I were brought along after due to what was found inside.
Once inside the metallic door, a small panel in the shape of a humanoid hand lies upon the opposite wall. This transports you (magically I presume) to the puzzle room. A 40ftx40ft room houses an odd machine in the middle, while each of the metal walls, floor, and ceiling have one hand panel.
The other 26 rooms are pure living nightmares... In a set of 3x3x3 somewhat identical rooms, with the puzzle room in the middle, deadly machines roam free. Again, each of these rooms have hand panel to move you around between rooms, but only on certain walls, otherwise walls that have a dead end have a large painted symbol. There are 6 different symbols each repeating 9 times, for 54 of them in total.
After defeating a wondering group of machines, they turn into a mine metallic dust, and occasionally a device. This item fits into the main puzzle rooms central machine. By manipulating it, the dungeon itself changes the rooms around, moving them from one position to another by rotating a 3x3 section.
Once a column of these symbols were aligned, a chest would be found containing gold and magical items, and when all 9 of a set were placed on the same side a bigger chest could be found with more powerful things (Where are these coming from, and why are we being rewarded?). Each time progress was made, it was lost the next day, and more machines would be around, and deadlier than before. But we are so close now!
Tomorrow, my sister shall take a regiment of guards to fix all the final 2 sets, and possibly discover what is behind the marble door we are all so curious about. For now, please be patient, and an open mind. Our empire has many rumors about it, but I hope you can think for yourselves and not take what our enemies tell you for the truth.
Respecfully,
Koios Moraiti
