Heart of Stone
Read Aloud
Stone rings grind around a rune-carved monolith as glowing cracks split the floor. A towering figure raises one hand and speaks in harsh Terran: "Lower your weapons. State your purpose." The chamber lurches, and the nearest guardian steps across the ledge to seal the exit.

Rune Wheel
The central rune wheel circles the monolith; creatures pulled here are exposed and difficult to separate.

Broken Platforms
Broken stone platforms cross glowing leyline cracks; movement across them risks sudden drops.

Four thick pillars provide cover while narrow ledges ring the chamber wall and mark the exits.
