Chamber of Crystal Geometries
A Crystalline Nightmare for 4-6 Adventurers
Eighth episode in the Temple of Infinite Madness series
SETUP
Organic tissue gives way to impossible crystalline formations that grow in patterns that hurt the mind. Mathematical truths take physical form, and reality fragments into geometric nightmares. Space itself seems to fold according to alien equations.
