The Cold Storage area of the crypt dungeon is arcanely kept at a constant temperature at the freezing point so that Lhessadrak and his minions can maintain an experimental morgue of sorts to perform vile surgeries in the process of creating new or special types of undead.
Because many of the necromantic experiments utilize blood thaumaturgy, a blood bank lies just within the first chamber, which is a kind of pre-operations room in the preparation to the dark work performed here. Between this pre-op center and blood bank is a secret door that allow Lhessadrak or his minions to escape pursuit by trespassing adventurers such as the PC party and more quickly reach the Inner Sanctum of the crypt dungeon.
Beyond the blood bank is an operating room where the primary surgical experimentations are performed. The chamber beyond this contains experiments in near completion, prior to necromantic animation.
The chamber just down the hallway past the secret door leads to a grisly parts chamber containing assorted humanoid limbs, torsos and heads. The chamber beyond this one contains a recent prize acquisition, the body of a deva kept cold to prevent rot before its own necromantic experiment. The door on the far north end of the Cold Storage area leads to the Sanctum Portal chamber.
