Room 2-26: The Sunstone
A half-excavated cave flooded with a warm light from a huge, glowing stone at its center. #dungeon23

Room 2-27: The Bud
In meager light that filters in from beyond a fallen rockpile, several flowerbeds sit dormant, as if seeking sunlight in the underground. #dungeon23

Room 2-28: The Botanist’s Chamber
A makeshift workroom, living quarters and underground greenhouse. #dungeon23

Room 3-1: The Vineway
Tunnels lined with creeping vines and flooded in places make a foreboding entrance to Level 3. #dungeon23

Room 3-2: Lilypad Grotto
A quiet, water-logged room where a few lily pads sit bathed in pale blue light. #dungeon23

Room 3-3: The Meadow
An out-of-place meadow grows under the light of the Sunstone, in a cavern held up precariously by old supports. #dungeon23

Descriptions of rooms 2-26 to 3-4 (spoilers) #dungeon23

Room 3-5: The Cascade, Base
The bottom of a waterfall fills this chamber with mist and has rusted the ladder leading up from here… #dungeon23

Room 3-6: Rustwater Spillway
Out of the mists to the west, an orange-hued stream of water flows down to an open void beyond. #dungeon23

Room 3-7: Climber’s Course
A series of low walls obstructs this passage, with old chain nets to assist those who need it. #dungeon23

Room 3-8: Rust Monster Colony
A natural cave with some unfriendly denizens. #dungeon23

Room 3-9: Scrap Pile
The detritus of half a dozen ravenous rust monsters, plus the glimmer of something valuable buried within. #dungeon23

A suit of full plate sits silent in the corner of a small cave. #dungeon23

Room 3-11: The Colossus, Lower Level
An enormous statue, chained to rune-etched walls, stands precariously on a corroded metal floor. #dungeon23

Descriptions of level 3, rooms 5 to 11 (spoilers) #dungeon23

Room 3-12: The Silent Threshold
A magic rune is carved into the floor of this soundless cavern, leading to a doorway built into the rock wall. #dungeon23

Room 3-13: The Catalog
A room lined with small drawers and a desk manned by an articulated stone figure. #dungeon23

Room 3-14: Reading Room
On a raised platform, a table holds a single book with a magical aura, with contents that can be changed if you know how to request it. #dungeon23

Room 3-15: The Encoded Hall
Levers at both ends of this room and a large grid of runes at its center suggest a puzzle to be solved, but walls of silence make communication a challenge. #dungeon23

Room 3-16: The Doorframe
An empty, freestanding doorframe and a makeshift bed are the only features of this small room. #dungeon23

Room 3-17: Stone Sphere
A table and chairs have been displaced by a 5-foot sphere of slate-colored rock that gives off a sense of inertia to those nearby. #dungeon23

Descriptions of level 3, rooms 12 to 18 (spoilers) #dungeon23

Room 3-19: See-Saw
A long plank stretches over a chasm, bolted to the cave walls at its center point. #dungeon23

Room 3-20: Slide
A ladder leads nearly to the ceiling of this tunnel, will a steep drop on the other side. #dungeon23

Room 3-21: Swing
A hidden passage with an obstacle, albeit a minor one, if one is willing to let gravity and a dangling rope do the work. #dungeon23

Room 3-22: Tug o’ War
Two statues stand in a line, holding a length of rope, but dragging them means approaching the west ledge, which drops off into darkness beyond. #dungeon23

Room 3-23: Climbing Frame
A scaffold built into the wall of the vast pit provides a precarious path to a tunnel to the north, with travelers’ defenses down as they cross. #dungeon23

A long ruined hall or tunnel of stone has a key at one end and a door at the other. In between stands an automaton that seems to be waiting for something. #dungeon23

A single goblin patrols, in search of intruders. #dungeon23

Descriptions of rooms 3-19 to 3-25 (Spoilers) #dungeon23

Room 3-26: Sphere Rooms Stairway
A repetitive, ticking sound occasionally fluctuating in speed — faster, or slower, then back again — echoes up from the bottom of this narrow stairwell. #dungeon23

Room 3-27: The Disordered Gallery
A set of engravings depict scenes of some story or history of a ritual and a giant. One image is set on the ground, revealing that they can be rearranged. #dungeon23

Room 3-28: The Unending Ritual
Those who enter this brazier-lit room witness a scene of a ritual gone wrong, and a man beginning to split in two — trapped in an eternal loop. #dungeon23

Room 3-29: The Staller’s Post
A couple goblin guards block the paths forward in this room, but they seem to be more interested in keeping intruders here than repelling them. This suspiciousness isn’t helped by a strange mechanism and ragged coverings on the ceiling. #dungeon23

Room 3-30: Abandoned Altar
Thick dust and cobwebs cover a simple altar and two statues of a figure with a cloth over their head and face, showing centuries of disuse. #dungeon23

This small cave leads up to an unlit brazier and a statue of figure whose face is obscured. Those who enter swear they can hear whispers from an unseen speaker. #dungeon23

A heavy weight swings around a room with three exits, it’s cadence speeding up and slowing down at random. #dungeon23

Descriptions of rooms 3-26 to 4-1 (Spoilers) #dungeon23

Room 4-2: Berry Hoard
This room is packed wall to wall with bins of stolen fruit from the underground orchard. There are so many in fact, that you can’t imagine they can all be eaten before they begin to spoil #dungeon23
