• Once each week, this pool may restore the health of anyone placed within it. One person immersed entirely within the pool is cured of any diseases, has any curses removed, and is restored to full hit points. This even works on persons who have been dead for no longer than 2 days, though it otherwise works like a raise dead spell in this instance. Once used, this pool may not be used again for one week.

Monsters: None

Treasure: None

They will reassemble and animate once the party as entered the room other than the one they initially entered in (skeletons in 14a will reassemble and attack if they go into 14b, and vice versa.

• If a character attempts to walk west, they will walk into the mural itself. The door there will lead to 1-8, where they may step out of the mural and into that Maiden's Crossroad. Once a character has passed from 4-12 to 1-8, they may come back via the same method.
