Vinoh & Kentelos:
* When you go through the double doors
Darkness, cold as a winter sweat, wraps around you.
Large tables, scarred & beaten, lay scattered like toys about this room,
their wood crushed and splintered.
Dark stains cover the floor and wall.

The large room is 30 feet on all sides from you front, left & right.
There is a door in the center of the wall on the left end.
There is a door in the center of the wall on the right end.

The hall behind you is still clear of the silent fog,
but the fires from Kentelos' past spell have died.
It is still eeriely quiet. *


The party:
* The old man finally leads you up spiraling stairs ending on a landing.
The landing of flagstone 10 feet wide by 20 feet long wobbles slightly underfoot.
The chill draft of wind whistles mournfully through the room,
rushing down from the circular stairs on the wall right next to you.
A completely different set of stairs spiraling up in the opposite way.
Pausing only for a moment through the landing,
the wind continues down the stairwell you are on.
A single doorway with a heavy plank and metal-handed door is opened by the old man.
Beside this door, an ancient portrait stands watch over the area,
its eyes staring defiantly back at your own. *


"heh, heh...*cough*...don't let anyone tell you Cyrus Belview isn't a good servant...heh
*cough* Here you go lords & lady, you may refresh yourselves here before dinner"


* Inside the room a low ceiling, supported by heavy beams,
seems to press down on this room.
The west wall curves with the tower you have ascended to
and is fitted with three windows of leaded glass in steel latticework.
You can see flashes of the storm's lightning refracted through the glass.
Plush overstuffed chairs and couches are placed about the room.
Their fabric has faded with age until the prints are nearly gone.
A bookcase lines the wall on your side
between the door you are at and another on the other side of the room.*
