[S] Locke: Dungeon Time

Tzivos_DM
--BEGIN--
Dramatic music begins blaring in Locke's head as he slowly reaches out and touches his first gate
Immediately upon making contact, Locke feels his body suddenly suspended in nothingness for a split second before falling ass-first into a snow bank
While not blizzard conditions, the weather isn't great and snow is falling at a steady rate
10-20 feet in front of you is a massive medieval fort with two grand, wooden doors left ajar
AntagonistsHero
Wearing extremely light clothes, you shiver against the cold
You stagger through the snow and reach the wooden doors
With a deep breath you walk through
Tzivos_DM
walking into the fort you immediately feel a rush of warmer air surround you
Whoever maintains this place does a great job
AntagonistsHero
You inspect the inside
Tzivos_DM
You find another set of gargantuan doors and a lever situated on the wall next to them 5 feet to the north. To your west and east, an impressive hallway spans 50 feet in either direction
AntagonistsHero
You take a chance at pulling the lever
Tzivos_DM
The lever doesn't budge. On the tip of the lever, you see a small slot for what could be anything from a key to a very specifically shaped decoration
AntagonistsHero
You take a chance at walking through the east wall
Crap I forgot about variation
Tzivos_DM
You can see the surprisingly ornate design of the hallway as you do. Banners are somehow hoisted and upholstered to the walls and ceilings. They depict a variety of medieval wartime scenarios as well some strange symbols
AntagonistsHero
You inspect the symbols
Tzivos_DM
most of them are completely foreign to you. They're mostly composed of a variety of squiggles and strange shapes and colors. One symbol looks somewhat simple to understand, though. It looks like drops of something, although it's impossible to tell what in the rather poor medieval lighting
after walking for about 45 feet you can see a circular archer's/lookout's post and hear some grumbling and mumbling coming from there
AntagonistsHero
You crouch down and sneak to a place where you can have a clear view
Tzivos_DM

You successfully manage to sneak into a more dimly lit section of the hallway and you can see that there are two more imps inside the small space. It's hard to tell, but one of the imps looks kinda like a centaur and the other looks strangely glossy and wooden
you currently have the element of surprise
AntagonistsHero

now that the troublemakers are gone, you can see that, in the circular space, there's an empty rack where weapons might have been placed situated next to a small, open chest

inside are a few stray arrows and some string

You go into the west hall
Tzivos_DM
walking through the west hall, you see similar symbols and medieval illustrations to what you saw in the east hall
after another 45 feet of walking you hear more mumbling and some surprisingly loud grumbling

You don't find much aside from a few small crates and two small bottles of colored liquid sitting atop on of them
AntagonistsHero
You inspect teh liquids
Tzivos_DM
They're simple, round bottles of what looks like reddish-orange liquid. They don't smell too bad
AntagonistsHero
You take a sip of the one on the left

You can see a single fuzzy bear-imp against the wall, picking at its paws. Further beyond the bear-imp is another centaur imp just trotting in a circle while mumbling to itself. Even further beyond that, you can barely make out an imp with what looks to be a laptop for a head
to be exact, there's 10 feet between you and the bear-imp, 15 feet between the bear imp and the centaur-imp, and 15 more feet between the centaur-imp and the laptop-imp
to your left is another round lookout post with a few more crates scattered around the space
