Theme/Style

The Halls of Agony dungeon has a distinctive, blood-red color scheme with a host of fiery elements. Metal grates along the floor emit a pulsing glow from beneath, as if embers were burning below. Some grates occasionally spew flames that can harm both the hero and monsters (see the associated images below). Furnaces are also found that have been built into the walls of the dungeon and serve as Monster Generators. Overall, the dungeon has the feel of a torture chamber - with various devices meant to cause agony (iron maidens, stretch racks, etc) strewn throughout.
