Under the Beacon Apparatus

You are in an alcove under the Lighthouse Beacon Apparatus.
The old apparatus of steel used to take up much more room than
the current apparatus. As a result there's a rather large niche
underneath it. Looking around in this small enclosure, you
notice that the entire floor is covered in human skulls, all
looking to be aged to crumbling. It is extremely cold in here,
and something seems to be pulling at your life force. Crackling
pops of energy can be seen here and there in the air, and the
east wall looks unnaturally dark.
Obvious exits: out.

An adamantium dragon just arrived.
