Perhaps it was a sculpture of a fairy, which would seem appropriate after what you've seen the hedge maze. ~ E table plates~ The table is covered with plates of half-eaten food, bunches of flowers woven into chains, small gloves and ladies' fans.

Scattered across the top of the desk are a number of maps and letters which look like battle plans. ~ E battle plans~ Veldoe Quelsot Inxanvte: Tu wosra yoneya paoe yventhe sorquv zan tobielesa cende paltne.

The pictures woven are of warriors battling towards victory over throngs of evil monstrosities. One certain warrior in the tapestries seems to catch your attention. The face seems familar, but from where you are not sure. ~ E chest~ The chest is made out of solid oak and is reinforced by iron bands. An ornate crest is carved into the front and sides of the chest. The crest is of a shield with a dragon emblazoned on it and two swords crossed over the shield. The latch is in the shape of a dragon and the mouth looks like the keyhole. ~ E swords~ Mounted above the bed, these two swords are distinctly different but both seem to radiate power. One of the swords has a purple hue to the metal and occasionally crackles with energy. The other sword is an impressive sword made out of a strange glass. Within the sword, the magic that created it swirls slowly in a mist of colors. ~ E bed~ The large bedframe is made out of a beautiful reddish-brown wood. Ornate carvings of vines and mythical beasts are etched around the entire frame. The mattress is also of fine quality, filled with feathers rather than straw, creating an especially nice place to sleep. ~ A search 4 examine 1 open~ desk 4 drawer~ if( rflag( reset1, room ) ) { remove_rflag( reset1, room ); if( random( 1, 50 ) == 1 ) { send_to_char( #char, ch ); act_notchar( #room, ch ); obj_to_char( oload( 38 ), ch ); } else { send_to_char( #char2, ch ); act_notchar( #room2, ch ); } } else { send_to_char( #char2, ch ); act_notchar( #room2, ch ); } ~ E room2~ $n searches through the desk drawers, but finds nothing of value. ~ E char2~ Searching through the desk drawers, you find nothing of value. ~ E room~ $n searches through the desk drawers and finds a scroll. ~ E char~ Searching through the desk drawers, you find and extract a scroll. ~ ! 0 0 0 A pick~ chest lid hole lock~ if( has_obj( 128, ch ) ) { if( find_skill( ch, pick lock ) > 2 ) { if( rflag( reset2, room ) ){ remove_rflag( reset2, room ); act_tochar( #get, ch ); obj_to_char( oload( 2 ), ch ); obj_to_char( oload( 2 ), ch ); } else act_tochar( #empty, ch ); } } else send_to_char( #nopick, ch ); ~ E nopick~ You don't have a small lock pick set. ~ E get~ Inside you find two gold coins. ~ E empty~ Looks like its already empty. ~ ! 0 0 0 511 9 1509949540 3 0 -1 S #33376 Hall of Wonders~ This long hall appears to be a gallery of sorts. As it continues eastward from the great hall, this stone corridor becomes cluttered with white marble pedestals. Atop the pedestals are strange and unusual devices enclosed in domes of glass.

The floor of this stone hall is badly scraped. While the walls are bare, the hall is not empty. Scattered about its length are several black marble pedestals, atop each stands an unusual and expensive-looking vase. Each vase has its own distinct features.

The stone floor and walls are cracked and the ceiling has started to slant. Even the candle mountings on the wall are dented and bent.

Next to each of the nightstands is a small trunk. The trunks are simple cedar boxes with a small bronze latch on the front. ~ E bed~ The beds are simple straw mattresses thrown onto a wooden frame. The mattresses are worn and along the seams tuffs of straw stick out. Some of the beds have been sliced open and much of the straw lies scattered across the floor. ~ 735 9 1509949540 3 0 -1 S #33379 Armory~ Within this stone chamber rests a vast and sundry collection of weaponry. Mounted on racks, the weapons are displayed proudly, without cover or sheath, for all to see. The chamber is very tall. A tracked pulling ladder allows access to the upper levels of the racks.

The door is made of cherry wood and looks fairly sturdy. Nothing hangs from the walls, though there are faint outlines of spots where decorations might once have adorned.

While it has a number of pieces of furniture, each piece is extremely simple and lacking in originality. Eight beds are scattered about the room, with a single grey blanket covering each. At the foot of each bed is a small chest. In the center of the room is a round table whose surface is littered with food and playing cards.

Rotting junk food from sweets to cholestrol filled munchies lie scattered about the table and even on the floor beneath. ~ E table~ The table appears to be nothing more than a large, heavy boards centered over a few discarded stools. The table is filled with the remains of a card game and food. ~ E blanket~ Half the blankets appear to be nothing but torn and dirty rags.

In days of old, and perhaps sooner, this tunnel was likely used as an escape route for the king and his family. The tunnel extends far to the south. Old torch sconces, long since turned green from corrosion, line the sides of the east and west walls at even interwalls.

Although the tunnel is narrow and cramped, there is still enough space for easy passage. A wall of stone and brick has been erected to the south as a means of sealing off the secret passage from the rest of the tunnels. Dented but empty torch sconces made of brass are set into the sides of the tunnel's walls. Judging from the amount of dust and dirt on the stone floor, this passage has been here for many, many years. ~ *H ~ 335020036 0 6 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 -1 33387 10 10 5 D2 door~ south~ 139 -1 33384 10 10 5 -1 S #33386 Escape Tunnel~ You stand in a roughly hewn stone tunnel, which appears to be some sort of escape tunnel.

They are very worn and look like they have taken much abuse over the years. ~ E table~ The table, like the chairs doesn't look to be in its prime. NO amount of polishing could help this table. It has several stains on it and even more carvings (like Carthin loves Cynthia) are imbedded in the table. ~ E remains~ It looks as if the card game was ended abrubtly.

Small wooden hooks extend from the oak base that is mounted on the wall. Some of the hooks are missing and seem to have been broken off. ~ E archway~ The archway is carved out of a single stone. Etched into the sides are numerous designs. The designs look much like stone vines climbing up around the archway. ~ E vines~ The carvings in the archway seem to have been masterfully done. The stone has been finely sanded and smoothed. Looking closely you notice that within the leaves and vines of the stone a couple of dragons have also been carved in. ~ E 6 dragons~ Unlike the traditional images of dragons, the carvings depict them as playful, fun loving creatures.

In the background you see what is left standing of a fireplace. Looking close a single red tear streams down the hero's face. The picture next to it shows as the hero delivers the killing blow to a obsidian armored warrior. Unfortunatly the wounds the hero sustained are great and the hero also dies. Behind the battle the outline of the hero's spouse smiles gently ready to be reunited. ~ E 1 south~ The paintings on this wall show a different view of the hero. One painting shows the hero in front of a small home tending a garden. In the background of the picture sits the sword etched with red runes. The other picture shows the hero relaxing in front of a fireplace. The hero's spouse stands behind gently messaging the shoulders of her beloved. ~ E 1 east~ The life of the hero continues on this wall. The paintings on this wall depict the hero during the early adulthood. One of the paintings shows the hero dressed in leather jerkin pulling a sword etched with red runes from a block of ruby. In the other picture the hero stands over a dragon. The red runed sword is embedded deep in the skull of the dragon. ~ E 1 north~ The paintings on the north wall show scenes of the hero's youth. The first painting shows the young hero defending a friend from a grizzly bear wielding nothing more than a goat's horn. The other picture depicts the hero severing the head off of a granite statue in a town square. ~ E paintings~ There are eight paintings in the room, two on each wall. The paintings seem to tell a story about a legendary human hero. In the corner of the paintings are the letters KGD. ~ E 6 objects art~ The objects do not seem to be of this world. Such colors swirling and churning have never been seen or touched this dimension. The dancing colors ebb and flow mixing and reforming to create marvels that exist only in the essense of dreams and imagination. ~ E busts~ The busts are sculpted out of a beautiful blue stone. The stone is finely cut and has been smoothed down to give the sculptures a look of realism. One of the busts looks strangely familiar to the person in the paintings. ~ E statues~ The statues are made out of pure crystal. Looking over the artwork there seems to be no flaws anywhere in the crystal. The features have been smoothed so that there are no hard edges. The statues seem to be of past royalty that had at one time lived in this castle and admired this same art. ~ E treasures~ This room is filled with all kinds of artwork from all over the world. Statues of pure crystal stand in the room flanked by beautiful blue busts. In the middle of the room sits an unusual object that seems to produce strange colors. Covering all the walls of the room are painting that are a beautiful example of realism. Everything in the room looks valuable and unique to this place alone. ~ E statues~ There are an uncountable number of statues in this room. All of the statues are made of crystal, but they vary in size and subject matter. Over here is a dragon breathing fire, over there a knight standing at attention. ~ E busts~ The busts are made of different types of materials- crystal, stone, and marble to name a few. The busts have o names inscribed at the bases, so it's hard to tell which god, goddess, or person they are supposed to be of. ~ E paintings~ The paintings all show mighty featsbeing accomplished by people. There is more than one picture of a person in armor slaying a dragon and other incredible feats. There are also a few profiles of people. The one that stands out the most is the picture of a man riding the back of a dragon like a steed. ~ -1 S #33447 Library~ The castle's stock of books dealing with a wide variety of subjects line the walls here.

The books seem to have no common topics and seem to have come from the number of shelves surrounding the room. The largest stack is next to the librarian's table.

The great mass of greenery seems to stretch across the room and upward toward the ceiling. Sticking out of the mass are a few vines with strange leaves and blue flowers. ~ E sunlight~ The radiant beams of light shine through the ceiling made of glass. The beams illuminate the room and you can see the dust sparkle and dance as it settles in the room. ~ E glass ceiling~ The glass ceiling lets in an ample amount of sunlight for the plants in the room.
