You are in a plush chamber of the royal wizard. Marble columns grace the doors  to south. Sagonne lies here on his bed of silk sheets and feather mattress.      Sunlight filters through the drapes on the far side of the bed.
                              You have entered a very small private library. Many very rare books are here.   Most are locked into place with mystic  bands of force. The only exit is west.                                                                                                  You are lost in the enchanted woods of Calphante. There is said to be no escape from these woods, though you remember a couple of drunken braggarts at the main hall claim to have escaped.                                                                     You have come to an altar in the temple. There is an archway over the altar withstained glass. The stained glass depictsa man reaching out, as if for help, to aruby's image in glass. You may go east, west or south.                                          You are at the east end of the pulpit. A podium of oak with a shelf under it    sits here. There is a curtain hanging over a doorway to the east. The temple    entry is southwest.                                                                             You are at the west end of the pulpit. A huge painting, six feet tall, four feetwide with an oak frame is adorning the  west wall. The painting is of some god- like creature carrying a large book. The altar is east.                                         You are in an east/west hallway. West an old curtain is hanging in the doorway. The hall  leads east from here. You heara slight noise coming from the east, butcannot tell what it is.                                                                         You are in a secret hallway behind a big shelf. There is a darkened chamber to  the east with cobwebs over the door. You smell something very foul like a dank  old moldy dungeon.                                                                              You are at a bend in the hall. The hall goes north and west. There is a room to the east with candles providing the only light in the room.   A trickling water  sound seems to be coming from the north.                                                       You have entered a chamber with no light other than candles (and from the door  tothe west). It appears to be the chamber of the head priest. Only a single mat on the floor and the small table with candles adorn this room.                                  You are just inside a north exit to the temple. The trickling water sound comes from the east. A dirt path leads throughan archway out of the temple to the     north.                                                                                          You are outside the temple's north exit. You are on a dirt path leading west. Anarchway to the south leads back into the temple.                                                                                                                                You are in a large oval chamber. There's an oval marble fountain in the center  of the room. It looks very deep. A  statue of a demi-god sits in the middle of  the fountain with water coming from it at   the appropriate spot.                               You are in the fountain. The water is fairly deep in the center, but shallow    where you are standing. The water is    cool and refreshing.                                                                                                                    You are in a deep depression under the water near the base of the statue. A     dark, water filled tunnel leads down    and north from here. You cannot see to  the end of it.                                                                                  You are in an underwater tunnel leading north. The water is murky and dark. You are holding your breath &  can't see too far. The water is also somewhat cold   and you feel a current to the north.                                                            You are at the bottom of a river. You   can see light above. A current is very  strong leading west here. In fact it is so strong you might find it difficult togo east. There is tremendous turbulence in the water to the east.                               You are clinging to a log at the surface of a deep river. You may swim west fromhere, but violent turbulence and currentprevents east treavel. North and south adense woods prevents you from getting   out of the water.                                       You are swimming in the river. The water is colder here, but the current is     weaker. You may go west, or swim to the east against the current, at the risk oftiring yourself out.                                                                            You are swimming in the river. The river current is not as strong here, so you  may swim east or west. To the west you  see a bridge or tunnel, but it's too farto make out any detail.                                                                         You are swimming in the river. There is a bridge to the west where water flows  into a small culvert under the bridge.  (Definitely not someplace you'd want to go.) To the north is a sandy beach.                                                             You are on a small beach. The beach is  surrounded by a retaining wall on three sides. There is a moss covered old door to the west and the river is south.                                                                                                     You are in a small secret chamber to the west of the temple altar. There is a   marble stand here. The furnishings are  modest and worn.                                                                                                                        You are in a north/south tunnel. There  is a cruddy old moss-covered door to theeast. The south end of the tunnel has   been sealed, or never was completed, so you may only go north or back east.                                                             You are in an old forgotten chamber. An old table sits in the middle of the roomwith a dusty old table cloth over it.   Dust and cobwebs cover everything in theroom. An old bookshelf is against the   east wall.                                              You are at a t-intersection. The tunnel is in very good condition here, with thefloors being so smooth they shine. The  walls are a bit rougher. You may go eastwest or south.                                                                                  You are on a misty, foggy pathway that  runs from north to south. Unnatural coldpermeates your entire body and you can  not seem to get warm. There is an aura  of dread ahead that you can't pin down.                                                         You are in a brightly lit room east of  the chamber of light. Bright light comesfrom several strange fixtures mounted inthe floor and walls of this chamber. Theexit is west.                                                                                   You are at the edge of a forest. There  is a stairway leading down into a large underground temple to the north. Thick woods surround you in other directions.  There's a sign at the edge of the woods.                                                        You are in a large underground temple.  You are facing north. In front of you   is the altar and the pulpit. East is a  curtain hanging over a doorway.                                                                                                         You are in a narrow east/west tunnel.   The tunnel has collapsed to the west,   blocking the entire passage in that     direction. There is a room north or you may go back east. The tunnel is cracked and on the verge of collapse.                           You  are in a chamber with cracks in the walls, thick dust and rock on the floorand bits of rock falling from the roof. Crumbling noises can be heard as though the roof were going to collapse at any  moment. A couple of timbers lie here.                   You are at a bend in the tunnel. The    tunnel leads northeast from here.                                                                                                                                                                                       You enter the woods and soon realize the trail is gone. Bushes, trees and brush cover the path in and you cannot make   out the trail behind you at all. Strangenoises come from all around you and you get the feeling you're not alone...                     You are on a dirt path leading east and west. There are very dense woods to the west. It may be wise to find another    way to go, since the woods look very    deep and dark.                                                                                  You are in a very lavish blue hallway leading northeast and southwest. The wallsare covered with blue paintings.  There is another hallway going south.                                                                                                         You are in a small hall connecting a northeast/southwest hall with a room to theeast. The door to the east says 'No admittance - THIS MEANS YOU!'. You may enterthe room or go north.                                                                           You are in a spacious high-ceiling room with tall shelves on the south wall. In the center of the room is a table with aperch on it. This was once a supply roomfrom the looks of it. The door is west.                                                         You are in a northeast/southwest tunnel. There are more blue paintings here. To  the northeast is an intersection.                                                                                                                                              You are at an intersection in the hall. A tunnel comes up from the southwest,   another goes south. There is a chamber  to the west and a bright light coming   from the east.                                                                                  You are in a cool black room with very strange texture on the walls. The walls  are a soft black material, apparently   designed to absorb sound. This is most  likely used for meditation. The only    exit is east.                                           You are in a large underground cavern behind a waterfall. The falls are to the  west. It is cool and dark in here. The  walls are very irregular with nooks and crannies as a natural cave often has. To the west is a pool of water.                           You are in a large pool of very rough turbulent water. The spray and mist and   fog are together so bad that you can't  see what is causing all the turbulence. Water is beating down on your head from above. You're under a waterfall!                        You are in a great mysterious chamber.  A wood plaque mounted on one wall says  'Tolor's chamber'. A large stone fireplace covers the south wall and there is a bear-skin rug on the floor. Exits are north and east.                                           You are in a swirling reddish cloud mass that seems to form a vortex into a     black area. At the center is a view of Eamon  in mass chaos. This seems to be a rift  in the fabric of reality, -- a gateway  to eamon from the dream dimension!                You are in a room with a large mystic   symbol on the floor. It is obviously an incantation room of some sort. There are strange symbols circling the room and  on the ceiling. The only exit is north.                                                         You are in a study with magic books on  magic shelves. Some are held in place   magically, others are loose. There is a large table in the center of the room.                                                                                                  You are in an east/west hall. There is a chamber to the east with bright light   coming from it. It is so bright you can not make out any details in that direc- tion.                                                                                          You are in a chamber where there is a   bright white light coming from all sidesof you. You cannot tell where it is     coming from, and you can't see anything in here because of the brightness.                                                              You are in a strange dream-like dimension. Images flow into your mind withouttheaid of your eyes, making all around you seem like you are in a dream.  For  justa moment you try opening your eyes,but the strange sights offend them.                          You are on the bridge of death. Almost every board is broken or cracked. The    bridge sways terribly as an unholy wind swirls around you and the stench of fireand brimstone and death assault you.                                                            You are standing on terra-firma at the north end of the bridge of death. You    are standing on a ledge that leads into a cave to the north. The bridge of deathis to the south.                                                                                You are a large cavern. A small pit of molten lava stands before you to the     north. Screams come from the lava pit,  but the lava is glowing too brightly to see anything in the lava.                                                                       You are on a path that you could only imagine in your wildest nightmare! the    path is overgrown with strange vines.   Heavy mist and fog obscures your view   ahead and you feel like you are walking through a dream.                                        You are at a fork in the misty path. A drifting in the mists allows only the    slightest glimpse at areas to the south and west. South it looks like a swamp;  west it looks like a hall of clouds.                                                            You are in a large pile of rubble, filth and decaying old buildings that once   had been great. The buildings now look like the worst slum nightmare you could  ever imagine. Piles of shattered filthy bricklitter the area.                                   You are in a very strange nightmare zone that continuously changes as you stand here, taking on images of war, violence,poverty, starvation and disease. Images flash so fast it boggles your mind. The exits change by the second!!                            You are in a strange clearing surrounded by mysterious stone pillars and slabs. The surface of the area seems to be rockor slate, but seems to vibrate as thoughby magic. A raised platform is here thatis also made of stone.                                  You are at a misty crossroad. Misty pathways lead east and south. There is also a clearing to the west. The crossroad issurrounded by mist and fog as if you arewalking around in a dream.                                                                      You are in a clearing of thistles and   thorn bushes. The air is heavy with a   strange mystical aura about it. There   is a low droning noise that you can't   quite figure out.                                                                               You are in a strange area where you can not see either the walls or the floor orceiling. The entire room seems to be    made of clouds. Halls of clouds lead to the east and west.                                                                              You are on a path that seems to be made of giant vertabrae. Huge ribs arch from these to form an archway running ne and sw. You remember a dream you once had ofsuch a path. It was called snake-cage   pass!                                                   At first, you thought you died when you entered this room, because it is so darkand devoid of everything. As you stand  here, you begin to see crimson smoke getmore and more pronounced. Now there is aspeck of light!                                         You are walking on a path of mystic smoke. Wisps of violet and crimson red driftthrough the air. Through the smokeyou see stars in all directions.

Wisps of violet and crimson red  are getting thinner and you wonder what will happen if they vanish entirely.                                                                                                        You have entered a cloud of crimson smoke.
