A Trip to the Crypt

The doors to the dungeon shut behind you and you prop the sign up in front of it.

"Well that was a bit of a bust, maybe we should try the cr-" Jenny's suggestion is cut off by a horrible high pitched whine. It's so loud, so debilitating that all three of you reflexively cover your ears. After a few seconds it mercifully comes to a stop, although you can still hear ringing in your ears for quite some time after.

"What the hell?" You hear Allegra's voice over the ringing. "If that was Keith's idea I have some words for him..."

"Well, maybe we can stop by the crypt first? It's probably quiet inside." While you are the one to suggest going into the crypt you aren't actually that interested in going in, you're mostly hoping to cross it off the list. Still your suggestion seems well received and the three of you open the door to the crypt and walk through.

Compared to the shoddy decoration of the dungeon the crypt's decor is amazing. The walls really look like they're carved from smooth,polished dark grey stone and the room is moodily lit by torches. Arranged in a grid on the floor are a large number of plain wooden coffins that look to be in poor shape. However the room stretches off to the right and the further the room goes on the more it changes. It becomes fancier in decor and the coffins grow more ornate to match, as well as fewer in number. At the far end of the room it looks fit for royalty, with a small number of obscenely expensive looking coffins set into recessions in the wall.

There are a number of women scattered throughout the crypt that seem to be tending to the guests. Their clothes are stratified in a similar fashion to the room, most are dressed in plain, dated dresses but there are increasingly fewer women dressed in increasingly richer clothes. One thing they all have in common though is that they're all incredibly beautiful, especially the woman who notices the three of you.

The woman before you wears a dress befitting a queen, an impossibly intricate dress of black and red. A silver tiara is placed on her head, poking out amongst a mass of perfectly styled light brown hair that forms into ringlets on the ends. Her green eyes sparkle as her ruby lips form a smile.

"My, my, more visitors for this humble crypt?" As she speaks you can see a pair of incredibly realistic looking fangs in her mouth, surprisingly they don't affect her speech at all. "Or perhaps you've come to see our master? I'm sure he would welcome guests as enchanting as you three..."

She motions towards a door you hadn't quite noticed on the far wall. The door is large and gilded with two armored female figures standing on either side.
