-[[File:Ossuary portal.png]]The [[Ossuary]] is an optional mini-branch, accessible through a timed portal and occasionally found in the early dungeon around the same floors that [[the Sewers]] are generated on. Although its layout varies greatly, you can always expect to find [[undead]] monsters (including [[mummy (monster)|mummies]]), numerous [[trap]]s, and a pile of treasure at the end. An exit should be located right by the entrance, but leaving will seal off the floor forever.
