24. Conjuring Area

The center of the floor of this room is marked with a circular design drawn in charcoal. Two rings, one inner, one outer, with strange runes or symbols in the space between them. Fat white candles stand around the outer circle. All have been burned down short, and some have fallen over. There are twelve, and there seems to be a space where a thirteenth should be. Piled in the far corner of the room are several books and a small wooden box. The circle may have been used in a summoning, but it is not actively magical. The books contain information about various infernal beings, mostly inaccurate. The box is an old tinderbox which seems to be missing its flint and most of the tinder; what remains seems to be wet. There is nothing useful or valuable here.
