A Mountain Trail~
|
||||
This trail leads up, up, up into the mountains. You
|
||||
hope you don't fall down, because that would hurt, hurt,
|
||||
hurt! The trail continues to the east, and you can go
|
||||
back down to the small hidden valley to the west.

A Mountain Trail~
|
||||
You're really high up now. You can keep going even
|
||||
farther up into the mountains to the east, or go back
|
||||
down to the west.

A Mountain Trail~
|
||||
Wispy clouds are beginning to surround you now, and
|
||||
your ears pop due to the altitude. To the east, you see
|
||||
the summit of the mountain, and from the way the nearby
|
||||
mountains are arranged behind it, you believe you're
|
||||
on your way to a big valley. You can also go down
|
||||
to the west.

Near The Mountain's Peak~
|
||||
The peak of this mountain is another couple hundred
|
||||
feet above you, but here is where the trail leads down
|
||||
into the valley... What an odd valley!
|
||||
The valley seems to have been filled up by a hundreds
|
||||
of feet of lava many years ago. It gives the valley an
|
||||
odd, 'flat' look and darkish ground. The path leads
|
||||
down east into the valley, and west back to civilization.

The Trail To The Valley~
|
||||
The trail leads down into the valley, where, by judging
|
||||
by the height of the trees, the lava had cooled tens
|
||||
of decades ago. Down below you see the path lead into
|
||||
the small forest in the valley, and disappear out of
|
||||
sight. East leads into the valley, West back to civilization.

In The Valley~
|
||||
The ground has taken on the texture of dirt on the top,
|
||||
but this valley is far too flat and too rocky to disguise
|
||||
the catastrophe that happened here so long ago. Looking
|
||||
up to the mountains ringing this area, you notice several
|
||||
mountains look as if they had 'exploded', which is strange,
|
||||
considering that they are not volcanos.
|
||||
The path leads into the woods to the east, and back up
|
||||
the mountain to the west.

In A Clearing~
|
||||
You come to a small clearing now, after walking for several
|
||||
minutes through the silent woods. An odd block sticks up
|
||||
here and there in the ground... wait a minute. These
|
||||
stones seem a little too regular, and from the circle
|
||||
formation and size you could almost swear that they were...
|
||||
crenellations? Could some sort of building been buried
|
||||
by the lava here? A rusty ring sticks out of the earth
|
||||
in the center... a trapdoor? This is almost too good to
|
||||
be true!

A Stairwell~
|

This small room is the top of a stairwell leading down
|
||||
deep into the tower. A small trapdoor overhead leaks
|
||||
the light of day around its edges. To the south is a
|
||||
wooden door, preserved through the ages by means
|
||||
unknown. To the west is a short hall.

A Linen Closet~
|

This small room holds many types of linen on shelves
|
||||
along the walls. They are undoubtedly preserved by
|
||||
magic against the toil of the ages, since they seem
|
||||
freshly washed and folded. You wonder what sort of
|
||||
mage could wield so much power to waste on such little
|

things.

A Sitting Room~
|
||||
This is a simply furnished room, with chairs all about.
|
||||
A fireplace is inset into an inner wall, the chimney
|
||||
undoubtedly directed by magic...
|
||||
This would be a nice place to rest awhile...

The Stairwell~

to your west.

A Hallway~
|
||||
This small hallway on the former 'ground floor' ran north-
|
||||
south. To the east is the stairwell that leads up into
|
||||
the shadowy recesses of the tower. To the west is the
|
||||
entrance way to the tower. The north is completely blocked
|
||||
off by lava, and the way south is still clear.

The Entranceway~
|
||||
This is a grand chamber with giant double-doors to the
|
||||
west. To the east is the main floor of the tower. This
|
||||
room is arranged highly attractively and very impressively,
|
||||
with sculptures and tapistries everywhere. The doors seem
|
||||
impenetrable... you don't think you'd be able to get through
|
||||
them if you really had to...

The Doorway~
|
||||
This was the entrance to the tower. Now lava has blocked
|
||||
it up completely. However:
|
||||
It seems when the lava came down a man was outside the
|
||||
doors. He was blasted into the doors, and died instantly,
|
||||
but his skeleton still clutches a staff in perfect
|
||||
condition...

The Hallway~

This is the southern part of the hallway. There is

a door to the west, barred with gleaming bands of lights.
|

To the north is more hallway.

filled with things you'd rather not think about...

The Summoning Room~
|

This room is darkly lit by a giant glowing pentagram in
|

the center of the room. Bands of force encircle some
|

sort of being trapped inside. You think that going
|
||||
inside would be an EXTREMELY BAD idea...

Inside A Pentagram~
|
||||
Inside the pentagram the floor is covered in a fine golden dust. The lines
|
||||
of the pentagram seem to be drawn in blood which has dried to a dark
|
||||
reddish-brown. The edges of the pentagram seem to hold some unseen power or
|
||||
protection.
