Eyes of the Lich Queen IC

[Sallera]

Bypassing the now-harmless trap, you pass the portcullis and start down a long and winding staircase lit only by Shard's fitful glow; it descends in a pair of steep and wide curves, and by the time it opens up into a larger chamber, Grimmgang can sense that you are nearing two hundred feet below the surface. A pair of humanoid statues with draconic features sits ahead, observing you from each side of a short, wide platform before a long and lethal drop. A dull red glow comes from the bottom of the pit; it seems you have come upon one of the veins of magma that permeate the area around Haka'torvhak, although it is thankfully still some eighty feet below you, and the air is not unbearably hot. Three large platforms hang from thick chains over the chasm, partially bridging the gap to the other side, where the stairs seem to continue; two of them are smaller, and seem to form half of an actual bridge, whereas the third hangs parallel to the edge, from much larger chains, and is further lit by a dimly glowing shard in the ceiling above. Four thinner chains dangle from the ceiling at regular intervals above the path formed by the smaller bridges.

You can sense a notable wave of magic from the embedded crystal.

You're at the south end of the room. Crosses are the smaller chains, blue is the crystal.
