Boneyard Pond
In the Cage: A Guide to Sigil, p. 125
Aides stack the bodies of deceased patients in the morgue. Once a day, Tetch examines the bodies and marks their foreheads with charcoal; bodies with one slash are returned to the lab for further study. Aides slide “two-slashers” down a long wooden ramp into Boneyard Pond. Occasionally, a corpse catches on a splintered section of the ramp; an aide’s got to climb down to free the corpse, then climb back up to the morgue’s window.
The fetid pond, about 150 feet in diameter and 30 feet deep, is filled with brown rainwater and the remains of countless corpses. Local sods sometimes approach gullible out-of-towners and offer to dive into the lake and recover treasure for a fee of 1 gp, payable in advance. The sod dives in, slips through an underwater passage, and hauls himself out on the other side, leaving the out-of-towner to assume the poor sod must've drowned.
