CIRCULAR CHAMBER. This large circular room holds about two dozen
figures, wearing heavy gray robes which obscure their faces. They
are arranged prostrate before the large central statue. The room
has a domed ceiling, approaching twenty feet and is well lighted by
torches arranged on holders about the circumference.

These
are men and women who have been recruited by Arlondon Messwack to
join the cult. They are strong in their new found belief and willing
to fight if attacked. They are all new and have not experienced any
of the body modifications earned by other cultists. They have agreed
to give all their possessions to the worm cult, so they have no
treasure.
Arlondon
has a key which allows the gate at Area 72 to open easily. He wears
chain armor under his robe and has a belt pouch with 53 gold
crescents, 12 silver spanners, and 6 copper pieces. His job is to go
out and recruit, thus his high Charisma score. He also has not
experienced any worm-related changes to his body, to keep him from
being too scary while trying to recruit.
Despite
his alignment, he really is not interested in a combat. The trip
here is, of course, dangerous, and he has lost several new followers
to monsters already. He has arrived very recently and is unaware of
the schism currently taking place within the cult. He also doesn't
know about the harpies that have taken control of the chapel area
(Rooms 62 to 69).
The
central statue is raised on a pedestal. It is gray stone and has the
torso of a man and the lower body of a great snake or worm. It's
head is devoid of expression, except for three mouths, located at
equidistant points each one third of the way around the head. It has
three large muscular human arms, with two in the normal position and
a third projecting out of the back.
