Under the Leaning Post Inn~
   You stand in a small room dug into the earth under the common room of
the Leaning Post Inn. Dust and noise filter down from the room above. 
You would guess (given the neighborhood you're in) that thieves use this
to escape the city guard. A roughly man-sized hole has been knocked in the
foundation to the west. A cool, damp breeze blows in through it.

The Catacombs~
   The air is cool, and humid here. This area has been hewn out of solid
rock. Tool marks on the rough walls atest to the efforts of whomever built
this place. Sounds of drunken merriment can be heard faintly from the
east.

The Catacombs~
    The feel of this place is oppresive. Niches carved into the walls of
this room hold broken bits of wood, and rotting pieces of what was once
fine cloth. You would expect that these are the graves of people long
dead. You notice that there is not a single shard of bone to be found.

The Catacombs~
   This was obviously a tomb for some weathly family of ancient Kortaal.
Several rusting sconces hold rotting hunks of wood that may have been
torches. Bits of corroding metal, rotting wood, and decaying cloth are
everywhere. The only thing that seems out of place is the complete lack of
any human remains.

An Undergroud Intersection~

directions. Metal plaques above each of the rough archways once read
with the names of the most ancient families in Kortaal. Now they are so
badly rusted as to be indecipherable.

Tomb of the Patriarch~
   This area is bigger than the other crypts you've encountered down here.
The walls here have been worked smooth, and are covered floor to ceiling
in huge bas-relief depictions of a forest. On a low platform in the middle
of the room, sit the remains of single stone sarcophagus. Larger chunks of
it lay upon on the dias, with smaller pieces scattered to the four corners
of the room. Like the others, this crypt is devoid of remains.

On the northern and southern walls shallow archways have been cut. Only
about two foot deep, they suggest that whoever planned this place never
saw to it's completion.

Entrance to a Crypt~
   The stonework of this area is exquisite. Only master Dwarven craftsmen
do such fine work. An archway to the north once held a sturdy door. The
hinges hang rusting from the stone. The door itself seems to have decayed
long ago. Sigils for peace and protection have been lovingly carved over
all the exits

   While not as large as some of the other crypts, this room is much nicer
than most. The Dwarven stone work of the entrance is apparent here also,
and delicate reliefs line the walls. The ceiling is domed, and flakes of
paint hint that it once held large fresca. Someone spent a lot of money to
make the departed comfortable here.

A Huge Cavern~
   You stand at the top of a monsterous chamber. The ceiling is perhaps
ten feet overhead. The opposite wall is nearly fifty feet away. You cannot
see the bottom.
   A path has been carved into the wall, and spirals down at a steep
angle. Thanks to the sulphor laden breeze that billows from the depths,
the path remains dry.

it, and a gentle glow can be seen within. The air is thick with noxious
fumes.
  The path cointines to spiral down south.

you could use a hair cut. The air is hazy and hot. Probably a result of
the large fissure in the center of the room,which vomits forth noxious
vapors and wave after wave of heat. Your eyes burn and it's hard to breath  
because of the stink of sulphor.
   A path rises up to the north and you spot an opening to the east.

The poor quarter~
   This area consists of several narrow passages many yards long. They are
lined with alcoves for burial. There is almost nothing but dust here, as
people buried in this place can rarley afford a casket. There must be a
thousand such alcoves here. A quick inspection shows not a shard of bone
among any of them.

  There are many alcoves here. The dampness of this place makes it a poor
choice for burial, and almost nothing remains of the caskets and coffins
that filled the niches. Anything of value has been long since pillaged.
Strangely you can't find any remains.

An immense cavern~
   This cavern streaches hundreds of feet above you. The floor  must be a
couple of square miles in area. The walls and domed cieling have been cut
into millions of geometric shapes. The facets range in size from a few
inches to several feet, and each one has been meticulously polished. 
   The eastern reaches of this chamber are dominated by a vast chasm.
Brilliant light erupts from it's depths. Shades of deepest crimson, and
gold dance along the faceted walls. The entire cavern is awash in
intricate patterns of of light and dark. The effect is quite disturbing.
   Just to the north is a small stone hut.A feww hunred feet to the east
sits a small white tower. To the south you can walk to the edge of the
pit.

human bone. Every inch of the thing stands stark and white, remaining
entirly unaffected by the dancing lights around it.
   As you approach light bursts from the four upper windows. It flashes
randomly through a kalidascope of colors. The lights return from the
facected walls to center on this spot. The result is a most mindnumbing
display of light all around you.
   The shining mithril door remains a rather bland looking silvery hole in
the eastern portion of the circle of dancing color.
