Hall of Doors

The Hall of Doors is the hallway south of the Vile Fountain room within the dungeon's basement floor. When entering the Hall of Doors, players enter from the North. There's 8 other doors total, 4 on the Western wall, and 4 on the Eastern wall. The doors are numbered from North to South.

Prison room. 2 cells in the back of the room, with a Skeleton inside one of the two cells. There's also a desk in the middle of the room with some blank paper and a pencil or two on the top of it. Odd

A large cavernous room. How it managed to make its way into this dungeon, I have no idea. But its walls are nothing like the walls in the rest of the dungeon. Instead of fine aging marble, its coarse rock. There is a pile of bones in the center of the room.

There's a clue on the floor in the middle of the room. The clue reads "2N".

A bedroom of sorts. There's a large mirror in the back of the room, along with a cozy-looking bed along the south wall. There's also a chair next to a bookcase on the north wall of the room. A large circular rug is on the floor. The symbols on the rug are actually reversed unless looked upon in the mirror in the room. It reads "5W".

The floor is missing from this room. Entering it causes you to fall to the void, taking 1 Neutral Damage and respawning at the north entrance of the Hall of Doors.

A rather tall room with a staircase leading upwards towards a wall on the east side. The wall here appears to be a bit weak. There's also a balcony circling the room with a large fancy chandelier hanging from the ceiling. I bet that thing cost 600 rupees! Upon entering the room, you see a Tumbleweed roll across the floor. ... Guess this room hasn't seen much use. This room connects back to the entrance of the dungeon.

Door 3E mysteriously slides upwards into the wall unlike the rest of the doors which operated as standard hinged doors. I wonder what sorcery causes this? Inside the room appears to be ... a room made of metal? Odd

There's all sorts of flashing lights and symbols dancing on the walls too. You can't really understand what it is, but it appears to be machinery of some kind. After shenanigans, a clue was revealed in this room. "1E"

Room of Illusions; The party easily guessed their way through this one. The clue from this room is "6N".

Description

After finally being released from its prison of armors and wrappings, Hyper Redead emerges. Its actually about the same size as most people, but unlike a slow, normal Redead, this one moves swiftly about the battlefield, attacking with ease and taking only glancing blows. Initially, it’s nearly invulnerable, but as the energy from being released subsides, it moves slower and slower. However, its stench is also more poisonous in its current state.

Innate:
- At the start of each round, Hyper Redead automatically siphons 3 Hearts from everyone else, ignoring Armor.
- At the end of each round, Hyper Redead loses 3 Power, Courage, & Wisdom.
Passives:
- Once per round, at any time, you can remove one stack of an Affliction you have.
- Once per turn, if you would take damage, you can activate Damage Delay to delay all damage taken that turn until the end of your next turn.
  - Once this is used, it cannot be reused until the delayed damage is taken.
- Counterattack is Death Swipes.

If Hyper Redead dies, it has a team drop of 1000 Rupees, a Fairy, a Spell Scroll, and 1 Stat Point. It also runs a random item drop of $5d3 for everyone. Drops can be acquired here.
