Once in the inner cloister, Dimen is shown to the lunch hall - a long room, over 80 feet long with low, long tables lined across it. Sporadically throughout the room, there are a number of monks of varying races and belts, some eating and some chatting. Quietly shown to a table, Dimen in served a warm meal in silence, save for the occasional eye contact and nod from another monk in the room.
Less than an hour later, a lower ranking monk than Dimen, a young man who has just barely reached adulthood, approaches and bows. The Masters will see you now. He turns and begins to walk away, stops abruptly and turns back to Dimen, red faced. If you will follow me, he bows apologetically and waits for Dimen to stand before heading out of the mess hall and through a slight maze of corridors, coming to a halt at a set of large wooden doors. He knocks briefly, places his ear to the door and then nods towards Dimen.
They're ready. With that he pulls open one of the doors and ushers Dimen inside...
As the door closes behind him, Dimen sees three elderly men sitting on the stone floor in the center of the room. The room itself is a dome shaped room no more than 30 feet wide. About two-thirds of the way up the walls, there are three windows seemingly trisecting the room. Likewise, between each set of windows, on the ground lies a set of double doors. It would be very easy to get confused as to which door led which way, Dimen quickly realized.
The three Masters were all wearing matching beige robes, tied at the waist with simple rope. Their feet were hidden under their robes, but they likely wore the most basic of sandals, if they wore shoes at all. Each sat about five feet away from the exact center of the room, which held a small, empty cushion. They sat with their backs each to one window, facing inwards toward the cusion. In fact, the room looked almost like it was the same image replicated three times. The only thing that kept Dimen from being instantly lost was that the three Masters were of different races. The two that sat with their backs slighty towards Dimen were the most human, although it was easy to see the elven features of the master on Dimen's right, even from this angle. The other's graying, short beard hid most of his features, but his height indicated his human nature. The Master facing Dimen as he entered was a short, lizard-like creature. His yellow eyes matched the yellow scales that went down his neck and disappeared into his robe. The rest of his scales were a dull green, seemingly covered in dust.
After a moment to allow Dimen to view the room, he motions with his small, scaled, clawed hand toward the cushion. Come sson. Have a sseat.
