The Temple of Knowledge, Part 1

The small building the farmer found takes month to unearth, much to his displeasure.  He is compensated with gold and food stock by the nearby temple of Catiana, the Goddess of Neutrality.  When they finally unearth the whole building they find that it is made of marble, looks fairly intact, from the outside, and are unable to figure out why it was under six feet of dirt.  There are reliefs on the outside portraying people reading, studying and speaking to others, so the scholars are assuming this building was a center of learning of some sort.  They have asked a group of adventurers to help them explore, because the door is locked and they fear there may be traps.

For the GM, this building was a small shrine/learning center of Catiana's priests.  The reason it was under six feet of earth was a spell gone wrong.  They were trying to teleport the statue the farmer found to this location, (which use to be a meeting place before it was a farm), and ended up transporting not only the statue but the building as well, and it was miss transported by six feet deep.  I will go into the interior of the building, but you, as the GM, can always add tunnels underneath to make it a bigger delve.
