You run your hand over an intricately designed door. It's made of some kind of stone, with what looks like stylized snakes intricately carved into the door and then painted. There's a ring made of metal in the middle of the door, you pull it and the door slides sway to reveal the room behind it. It looks like some kind of ancient temple from a movie, made of smooth stone and decorated with precious metals and gems. The snake theme is maintained, all kinds of serpents are depicted throughout the room. You continue into the room, shocked at just how big it is, until you come to a massive altar. Three women wearing strange dresses are praying to it but as you walk towards them they rise, turning to walk towards you. For a second you could swear their pupils were slitted but you blink and they look normal.
"Greetings dear guest, have you come to participate in the ritual?" They speak in a strangely calming unity. Surely there's no harm in seeing what this ritual is about?
