#ROOMDATA
#30300
The Clearing~
You are standing in a large clearing.  In the side of a grassy bank,
entwined with the roots of an old tree, stands a massive door of stone. 
Tall letters are carved across the face of it.  You pick moss from them with
a knife, revealing the words, "Here lies Vallandar, who was and will again
be King."

Entrance corridor~
You find yourself at the eastern end of a long gothic-arched corridor
about 12 feet wide.  A faded tapestry hangs along the wall to your south. 
It depicts a host of warriors locked in gory battle.

The map room~
You enter an octagonal room about 15 feet across.  The floor is
extraordinary - it seems to be made of smooth polished quartz, and below it
you can see a curious design of greens and blues overlaid with a scattering
of glowing red symbols.

Tapestry magic~
You are approaching the end of the corridor.  Double doors lie ahead - of
black wood bound with verdigris-stained copper.  There is a smaller door in
the north wall, and a passage leading off to the south.  The tapestry
flutters, though there is no breeze.  Even as you watch, three of the
warriors become solid and step into the corridor behind you.  They wear
strange sculpted armour, still in the faded hue of the tapestry, and their
faces are the colour of old cloth.  But their wide-bladed short- swords
appear all too real...

A hovering wand~
The passage brings you to a small circular chamber with no other exits. 
The wall is covered with markings that follow some unfathomable geometric
principle.  A wand hangs in the air in the middle of the chamber.  It is
rotating about its centre, at a rate of roughly one revolution a second. 
One end of the wand glows a dull red, the other sparkles with blue-white
light.  The central section is black and unreflective.

The wizard's cave~
At last you reach the top and haul yourself up into a vast cavern. 
Stalactites sparkle in light which seems to come from all around.  Your
heart skips a beat as you behold, curled atop an enormous mound of treasure,
the long sinuous form of a huge red Dragon!  Luckily for you, it is
sleeping; wisps of blue smoke curl gently up from its black nostrils.  Near
it, contained within a red pentacle inscribed on the cavern floor, is a
stout old oak whose branches reach up to the shadows beyond the magic light.

The north wind's hall~
You swing back the heavy door of a long hall.  At the north end, Your
lantern-light falls upon a podium of grey marble carved to resemble a
bulbous-cheeked face blowing at you.  A silver goblet rests on the podium. 
Beyond, another door leads deeper into the underworld.

A choice of ways~
You are in a 9 foot wide corridor running east and west.  To the east,
the corridor opens out into a room after only a few feet.  To the west, you
can just make out that the corridor turns to head north after some 45 feet.

The spider's web~

wall of the room.  As you step through the archway into the room, your
ankles become entangled in a web of fine strong strands.

A trap~
As you approach the bend in the corridor, a flagstone gives slightly
under your feet.  There is an ominous click.  
Suddenly a massive gleaming axe-blade swings out of the side wall!

Barrier of light~
The way on is blocked by a flickering barrier of violet light that
shimmers in the air between two baroquely carved pillars on either side of
the passage.  Through the shimmering, you can just barely discern the
outlines of the corridor as it continues north.  
Just in front of this barrier, set back in alcoves to your left and right,
are two fountains.  In the western alcove, a chalky grey liquid issues
from a snarling stone face and runs down into the fountain beneath.  The
eastern fountain is filled by a purple liquid that bubbles from a face
sculpted in an expression of fear.

The barrier flickers with a burning violet heat...Going through there
could really hurt!  Maybe you should get something to protect you from fire?

Underground river~
Passing through the barrier of light, you continue north along the
corridor.  The sound of a surging underground river echoes from the darkness
ahead.  
Before long you come to a short flight of steps.  At the bottom you see a
stone quay beside the rushing black waters.  A rickety plank bridge leads
across to another quay on the far side.
A figure of rose-coloured rock stands between the steps and the bridge.  It
looks like an uncompleted statue - the upper torso, arms and head are
perfectly sculpted, but the lower body is a single lump of unworked stone.
With a harsh grating noise it slowly flexes its massive sinews.  Its long
talons are knives of flint.

A flimsy bridge~
You stand upon a narrow plank bridge, which creaks and sways with every
step you take.  Carefully you make your way across, wincing at the sound of
rotten wood breaking under your feet.

Short passage~
You climb a short stairway like the one on the south bank of the river. 
You are standing in front of a small black door.  There is a strong feeling
of peace and serenity here.

The chapel~
You enter a low-ceilinged chamber hung with sombre drapes.  A flickering
sanctuary lamp burns on an altar stone in an alcove in the east wall.  A
large crucifix hangs above this.  There are double doors in the west wall
and another small door, like the one you have entered by, directly opposite
you, too the north.

Long passage~
A narrow passage leads north for a short distance and then turns to the
east.  Looking along it, you see that the first 30 feet or so are not
illuminated, but from that point onwards bright red lamps hang from the
ceiling.  The passage extends as far east as you can see.

Nagging doubts?~
You continue until you have almost reached the first of the lamps.  There
is something odd here - the lamps seem to dim slightly as you approach, and
become redder.

Light ahead~
Beyond the double doors lies a 9 foot wide corridor which leads west.  A
little over 25 feet away from where you are standing, it is joined by
another corridor leading north.  The east-west corridor is gloomy,
illuminated only by the murky light of your lanterns.  But you can see
bright light flooding from the northern branch.

A lady in waiting~
You walk towards the T-junction.  In the bright bar of light thrown
across the corridor from the northern branch, you now notice a looming
shadow.  Someone is waiting just around the next corner.  You pause and hold
your breath as you study the outline of the shadow.  Could it be a robed
woman with an elaborate coiffure?  A soft, evil hissing reaches your ears...

At the junction~
The northern branch of the corridor, where the Gorgon was lying in wait,
extends only a few feet and then ends in stout oak doors bound with iron. 
The light comes from a glowing crystal globe hanging from the ceiling.  
Shining your lantern west, you discover that the transverse corridor also
ends in double doors after another 20 or 30 feet.

in the air.  Suddenly a host of grinning skeletons hurl themselves forward
from the shadowy corners of the room.

Short walk and long drop~
This narrow passage goes north a short distance and ends in a pit. 
Looking down, you see only stygian darkness which the light of your lamp
does nothing to dispel.  Iron rungs set in the wall of the pit form a ladder
of sorts.

The balcony~
You find yourself on a balcony overlooking a vast circular hall full of
shadows.  You cannot see the far wall or the souring roof above.  
Off to the east, stone steps sweep down to the floor of the hall.  At
the foot of the steps, your lantern picks out the shining surface of
a massive gold casket.

The stone steps~
Tatters of deepest shadow flit from the furthest recesses of the hall,
clustering and coalescing on the steps in front of you.  Two darkly
glittering eyes fix upon you as a manlike form takes shape.  The sense of
abiding malevolence descends like a pall.  The figure drifts up towards you.
Its body and fluttering robes are murky and indistinct, but you see its
white hands and hate-filled visage with a terrible clarity.  It reaches back
and seems to draw a spectral sword from the empty air.

The High King's Hall~
In the centre of the chamber, within a pillar of green light that streams
down out of the darkness, waits a tall man on horseback.  Both horse and
rider wear great plates of decorated armour.  Their heads are bowed as
though in slumber, and on the man's brow you see a golden crown.  
Around Vallandar, twelve mighty swords stand balanced upon their points
in a perfect circle.
