#26100 Foyer~ You stand at the entrance to a large home, a home almost large enough to be called a castle. Direclty in front of you (west) a hallway runs into the interior of the castle. North of you is a door which looks to house a coat closet. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ door closet~ 1 0 26101 D1 ~ door~ 1 0 26142 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26102 E credits~ * The Castle * Written by Kaan for Dibrova Levels: 20 - 25 84 rooms 19 mobs 23 objs Connector Zone(s): The Light Forest This was a zone I had to sort of build off the cuff. It was when we started getting a larger influx of new players and needed this part- icular level range of eq. I slapped it together in less than a day and had it ready for play immediately. All things considered, its not a bad zone for what it was created for. ~ S #26101 Closet~ Upon entering the closet, you immediately notice that it is much larger than you first thought it to be. In fact, it is immense. You cannot see the walls in any direction, nor the ceiling. ~ 261 d 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26100 S #26102 Hallway~ You have entered a room that, although from your first look from in the foyer looked to be a hallway, turns out to be a large room which has exits in all directions. A hallway runs east from here, there are open doorways to the north and south, and west there is a closed door. There is even a large, grand staircase leading to a higher level, not to mention a set of stairs leading downward into the basement. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26103 D1 ~ ~ 0 -1 26103 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26103 D3 ~ door~ 1 -1 26103 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 26103 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 26103 S #26103 Hallway~ You have entered a room that, although from your first look from in the foyer looked to be a hallway, turns out to be a large room which has exits in all directions.

Tables are scattered throughout the room, people seated here and there, enjoying the day, chatting away about everything and nothing. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26111 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26100 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26114 S #26111 Kitchen~ You have entered into a very well-equipped kitchen, one which seems so well stocked a whole town could eat here for a month and never have to get any more food. It seems strange that only one cook would be on staff for such a large facility. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26112 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26110 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26113 E desk~ The desk is basically uninteresting, as are the papers on top of it... ~ E closet~ Nice clothes, but not your size at all. ~ S #26112 Pantry~ This small space is cramped enough without this huge woman stuffing her face full of anything edible she can get her hands on. ~ 261 ad 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26111 E book books~ There are lots of books about everything here! ~ S #26113 Dining Room~ A table laden with food lies in the center of this room, inviting any and all to partake of this great bounty. ~ 261 d 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26111 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26114 S #26114 Portrait Studio~ This room is filled with portaits of every size and shape imaginable. Hanging from every angle, every height, you can't help but stop and peruse all of this fine art. A staircase leads up from here to another level. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26113 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26110 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 26115 S #26115 A Stairwell~ This stairwell continues up or down, you see no end or landing in your immediate line of sight. ~ 261 d 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 -1 26116 D5 ~ ~ 0 -1 26120 S #26116 Stairwell~ This stairwell still continues up and down as far as your line of sight allows. Strange, this building didn't seem this tall when you saw it from the outside. ~ 261 d 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 26117 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 26115 S #26117 Stairwell~ Still you climb, up and up, or down and down, whichever as it may be in relation to the direction you're heading. ~ 261 d 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 26118 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 26116 S #26118 Stairwell~ The stairs do not seem to end, nor do they ever seem as if they will end. You must be in a tower on the backside of the building and that's why you never noticed this immense height from outside. ~ 261 d 0 D1 ~ wall~ 1 0 26121 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 26119 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 26117 S #26119 Stairwell~ The gray stone and motar walls are getting just a bit old now. Myabe if called out for help, or just sat and waited for someone to come along...? ~ 261 d 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 26120 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 26118 S #26120 Stairwell~ The stairwell still goes up as far as you can see. It also still goes down as far as you can see. It's been going up forever. It's been going down forever. Where is the top? Where is the bottom? Where?! ~ 261 d 0 D4 ~ ~ 0 0 26115 D5 ~ ~ 0 0 26119 S #26121 Mountain Forest~ You stand in a forest at a high altitude on a mountain. Large trees, the size of three men side by side rise from the forest floor, towering high above you. Birds sing, branches creak, and you have to wonder... -What the Hell am I doing here?! - ~ 261 0 3 S #26122 Bedroom~ You land with a -THUMP! - in the center of a huge feather bed which sits in the middle of an opulent bedroom. It's a darn good thing you landed on the bed and not on the floor, or it might've hurt! The only bad thing about this experience is that the man and woman who were in the bed seem to be just a bit perturbed that landed on them, too. ~ 261 d 0 D3 ~ door~ 1 -1 26123 S #26123 Spotless White Hallway~ You have entered into a short hallway which runs east to west, but only for a short ways. At the western end of the hallway there is a door and on the north and south sides there are doors spaced evenly apart three in each row. >From some unknown source, a soft but bright light keeps this place lit up, and from the same source, soft orchestra music plays quietly. The walls here are white as any you've ever seen, with not a mark or mar upon them. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ door~ 1 0 26131 D2 ~ door~ 1 0 26130 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26124 E tapestry tapestries painting paintings~ Many of these show scenes of high magic and heroism. Just like almost every tapestry and painting you've seen. ~ S #26124 Hallway~ The walls still glisten white, doors still line those walls, and the music plays on and on in accompaniment to the soft light all around you. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ door~ 1 0 26132 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26123 D2 ~ door~ 1 0 26129 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26125 S #26125 Spotless White Hallway~ You are at the western end of this spotlessly clean hallway. The music really is getting on your nerves now, it sounds to be the same song being played over and over and over... Who ARE these people who live here? ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ door~ 1 0 26126 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26124 D2 ~ door~ 1 0 26128 D3 ~ door~ 1 0 26127 S #26126 Bathroom~ You stand in a room whose only function is to house a shower stall. Seems normal enough. The only out-of-the-ordinary thing about there being a shower is the shower itself and the occupant within. ~ 261 d 0 D2 ~ door~ 1 -1 26125 E cell cells~ It is open, empty, and uninteresting. ~ S #26127 Dragon's Lair~ You have to give a bit of a double-take as you enter into this room. The spotlessly clean hallways you just left are replaced by cold grey walls of stone. The chamber itself could easily house a full grown dragon, it is so big. As a matter of fact, it does house a full grown dragon. ~ 261 ad 5 D1 ~ door~ 1 0 26125 E cell cells~ It is open, empty, and uninteresting. ~ S #26128 undefined~ It is pitch black... ~ 261 ad 0 D0 ~ door~ 1 -1 26125 S #26129 The Bar~ Now this is your kind of place! Neon lights light your way past the band to the Bar. All your favorite drinks are on hand, anything you want, just ask Old Marty, the bartender, who is always more than happy to get you what you need. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ door~ 1 0 26124 S #26130 Martin's Rest~ This room is completely empty save the man hanging by his neck from a rope tied to a support in the ceiling and the over-turned chair which you assume is the very chair he must have used to get himself into his current situation. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ door~ 1 0 26123 S #26131 Butler's Quarters~ This must be the only normal room in the whole castle! A tidy place, as only a butler's room could be, with the bed made without a wrinkle, clothing all hung neatly in a closet alcove. Inna and Igor are lucky to have this man, this beacon of normalcy, on staff. ~ 261 ad 0 D1 ~ closet~ 1 0 26133 D2 ~ door~ 1 0 26123 S #26132 Ma & Pa's Home~ This is a simply furnished room, with a fire crackling merrily in the fireplace, keeping time with Ma's knitting needles and Pa's wittlin' knife. ~ 261 cd 0 D2 ~ door~ 1 0 26124 S #26133 Waiting Room~ This smallish room has two comfortable looking couches to wait on. A small end table holds literature to read while passing time waiting for an audience with the master and mistress of this place. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26134 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26110 S #26134 A Hallway~ This small hallway runs north-south. To the south is the waiting room that you came from. To the north the hallway continues on, eventually opening up into a large room. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26135 D2 ~ ~ 0 -1 26133 S #26135 A Hallway~ The small hallway continues here, north to south. The waiting room lies a ways south of you and what you presume to be Inna and Igor's office or reception room lies north. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26136 D1 ~ wall~ 1 0 26141 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26134 D3 ~ wall~ 1 0 26138 E sculpture tapestry sculptures tapestries~ They look nice, but aren't very valuable. ~ S #26136 A Hallway~ The entance to a large room lies just north of you, while the length of the hallway runs south into the waiting room. ~ 261 d 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26137 D1 ~ wall~ 1 0 26139 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26135 D3 ~ wall~ 1 0 26140 S #26137 Den~ This comfortable room hosts a large oak desk which sits before a huge stone fireplace. The fire is currently lit, giving you warmth and comfort, even in this strange castle. Pictures line the mantle of the fireplace, awards hang on the walls from various mage academies. These people seem to have been socialites in their time. ~ 261 d 0 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26136 E picture~ This picture out of all of them, catches your eye the most. It has a picture of a man dressed in a clown suit wearing a pointed hat. He looks to be in the midst of a silly looking dance. Curious, you turn the picture over and see that there are words scribbled on the back. They read -Man, are you dumb! How long you been waiting in this room? Do you really think that we receive visitors? ~ S #26138 Igor's Office~ This seems more like a play room than an office! Lots of toys and dolls laying about, a couple of simple games on the shelves. A great many books line the southern wall, but for the most part, they look as if they are usually unread. Seems strange that a famous illiusionist would have these sorts of things on his office... ~ 261 ad 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26135 S #26139 Inna's Office~ This quaintly decorated room holds nothing more than a small desk and a chair. Book shelves line the walls both to the south and the north. A small window in the eastern wall affords a view of the forest outside. Strangely enough, it seems you are still on the ground floor. ~ 261 d 0 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26136 S #26140 Inna & Igor's Bedroom~ This seems to be your usual dark toned, wooden, old-person's bedroom set up. Lots of lace on the bed covers, pictures on the dressers of Ma and Pa, the whole normal old person's place. Maybe these guys aren't so wierd after all... ~ 261 d 0 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26136 S #26141 The Laboratory~ This laboratory has lots of stuff in it. Beakers, flasks, burners, tongs, mortars and pestles, jars filled with normal things, jars filled with abnormal things, jars filled with things you'd rather not think about... A search could reveal many things... Inna and Igor both seem surprised to see you. ~ 261 d 0 D3 ~ door~ 1 0 26135 E beaker beakers flask flasks burner burners tong tongs~ Looks like normal, fragile lab equipment to you. ~ E mortar mortars pestle pestles jar jars~ Looks like normal, fragile lab equipment to you. ~ S #26142 Entrance to a Large Home~ You stand at the entrance to a home that is not precisely huge, but definately large by most standards. The door lies directly west of you or you may head back along the path through the forest to the grasslands. ~ 261 0 1 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26143 D3 ~ door~ 1 0 26100 S #26143 A Twisty Path~ The path heads due west toward a large home. You have heard of an old married couple who used to be Head Enchanter and Enchantress to the Lord at Lord's Keep, maybe this is it... The path also heads north through the forest. ~ 261 0 3 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 26144 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26142 S #26144 Twisty Path~ The path heads through this jumbled forest, not really seeming to lead anywhere. There are a great many leaves strewn in the path, giving you the impression that not many people travel this way very often. ~ 261 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26145 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 26143 S #26145 Start of a Twisty Path~ You stand at the edge of the field and the edge of a forest. The way to the forest is west, and the grasslands spread out to your east. ~ 261 0 3 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 26067 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 26144 S $~
