Editing Beneath Castle Everglory: LEVEL 4: The Garden (section)

==5A. Pagoda==
An ornamental wooden pagoda, painted in greens, blues and golds stands before a pebbled courtyard, overgrown with weeds.  In the middle of the courtyard grows a tree with twisting branches.  Mounted on the tree is a human skull, branches growing through its mouth and eye sockets.

Inside the pagoda is an octagonal wooden table and a warped old rocking chair.  On the table is a red clay mug and a white china teacup painted with tiny blue flowers (the cup is worth about $200 but is very fragile).

The Pagoda and courtyard are areas of High Sanctity for clerics of Death or the Wilderness.  Furthermore, Spells cast by a cleric of  Death or the Wilderness are cast at +4, but if cast by a cleric of a god of Good, at -4.  Spells from the Colleges of Body, Healing, Plant, Meta and Necromancy are cast at +4, while spells from the elemental collages are cast at -4.  The total bonus or penalty cannot exceed 4.  Removing the skull will eliminate the sanctity of the area but the character who does the removing will be the subject of a Curse spell, cast at level 20.
