25. Reliquary monster. This 30’x30’ room, beyond the Tilty Trappy Hall, has a dais at the far end and upon this dais is a golden statue. The statue possesses a glass dome for a face and a human skull lies within. This skull represents the remains of one of the most favored priestesses of the temple, and of course it animates to destroy those who violate its sanctuary. Treat the golden statue as a Helmed Horror, with 70 hp, and it makes two claw attacks for 1d8 damage instead of a sword. If both attacks hit, the animated statue injects a chemical that turns the victim to gold. Treat as a Medusa’s petrifying gaze, with DC 14 CON saves. When the statue is destroyed, its gold disintegrates, leaving only the skull, which has itself turned to gold and is worth 300 gp. (Monster based on the Skull of Mary Magdalene in Villa Latta.)
