After the "challengers" return and you have discussed to your heart's content, a wall behind the pillars opens up. The infernal words "The way to life" flash as a path is revealed into a dungeon. 5 "mannequins" with black faces rise from the floor, standing before the entrance, wearing your gear, motionless.
Beyond them, grey slate bricks with the faint smell of fresh air and wet dog.
Spoiler
disregard this until y'all are done, feel free to undress the mannequins, and you have a long hallway ahead of you leading to a big room y'all don't need to get to til i am back online please ;-) Take your time...)
