Dungeon Walls Hollowed out gigantic roots. They are off white in color like the rest of the dead tree. (DC 15 to climb)
Dungeon Floor Sawdust, wood clippings, pine needles and other organics to level out what used to be a circular passage. This makes the passages arched to a varying hight. To determine the height it is either 10' or 4+3d6 feet high if you want to mix it up.

Empty This room contains  the teleport circle that goes to Corellon Grove outside the city.
Surrounding it are the remains of Elvin Fire liquid to be used if something undesired came through the portal.
Every wall is covered in elf writing written in blood. It is the story of the life of the skeleton. His name was Ebringor.
He was an Elf Priest of Corellon, NG. Str 5, Dex 7, Con 8, Int 11, Wis 9, Cha 14. Ebringor had red hair and amber eyes, and wears glasses with bronze rims. He wears fine clothing and an ring of sustenance. He volunteered to stay behind to close the doors with the stones, watch for Tport intruders and stay on guard as long as possible. It was done very much reacting to the surprise of the attack on the city and he brought nothing with him before he was trapped. He stood guard for 465 years (as far as he knows) then chose to end the boredom by nicking his jugular veins with a quill he brought with him.
The doors are completely closed by huge blocks of stone leaning against them. It will take a combined strength roll of 30 to pull one away from the door.
There is a skeleton lying composedly in the SW corner of the room Its legs are straight, the arms crossed on the chest and the head is lying on a pile of ancient fabric. A rust colored pool of blood covers the floor around his head. Carefully drawn near the feet there is elfin writing in blood the words "I regret NOTHING!"
