Overview
The Gehenna Wardrobe is a trapped magical door within the Tomb of the Nine Gods that serves as a portal to the Outer Plane of Gehenna.
Appearance
The door features a carved image of a grinning night hag holding a swaddled human infant in her arms—an ominous warning of the danger within.
Function
When opened, the wardrobe reveals a view into an active volcano’s caldera on the plane of Gehenna. Black rock shards float above molten magma, with two hostile creatures perched on the floating debris.
Encounter
Creatures: Two mezzoloths guard the portal. These man-sized fiends have insectile features and four arms each.
Combat: The mezzoloths immediately teleport into the room and attack anyone who opens the door.
Death Effect: When a mezzoloth is killed, its body dissolves into wisps of oily smoke, though its trident remains behind as potential treasure.
Game Mechanics
This is a combat encounter triggered by opening the door. The party faces two mezzoloths that can teleport and are armed with tridents.
