You have a doggie collar.  You have a dog.  Do the obvious.

Huh?  Cerberus is your doggie -- I don't remember him being in the pentagram
room.

Ah.  This is one of the trickier puzzles.  What makes it so difficult, I think,
is that in fact, there is not a "maze of oddly angled rooms", as the game allows
you to believe.  There is but one oddly angled room, which you are wandering
around in.  With this in mind, the solution may be easier.  What do the glowy
thingies on the floor resemble?  How many of them are there?  What is the
distinguishing feature of the club?  How might this club have been used?
