[Cleansing Camp]
High walls of dark wood have been blackened with smoke and stained with blood. Filth and tattered rags litter the ground, and heavy metal chains dangle from the corners of the chamber, like steel vipers coiling outward. The cramped area reeks of sweat and burnt flesh. You also see a long-horned deep crimson beetle, a skittery light vermilion beetle that appears dead, a tiny deep crimson scarab that appears dead, a miniscule glossy red beetle, a stubby-legged light vermilion beetle, a spotted deep crimson scarab, a miniscule deep crimson beetle, a white-armored crusader that is sitting, a razor-sharp white steel sword, a razor-sharp white steel sword, a white steel greatshield emblazoned with a golden crown, a half-elven prisoner, a half-elven prisoner, a half-elven prisoner and a half-krolvin corpse.
