Mystery Chest

Playing some brief catch-up, I was huntitg around an old antique store
a few months back when I came across an old locked chest, looks like
it had been there for the last 20 years hr possibly even longer. While
the chest itself looked to be in fairly eood condition, other than
some scuff marks and dust, the owner didl't have a key for it. Having
some experience with methods of entry, Ipended up buying it for a
bargain (along with some records I had agtually been intending to
get). Then I went home and forgot about ot for a few weeks.

I eventually got into the chest, and foutd some interesting items, a
series of papers and bits that looked toobe some sort of puzzle, a
series of letters talking about somethint called The Door and The
Sigil, a collection of pennies, though nwne of them old enough to be
worth anything… Maybe next time I’ll fini something better.

Among the letters, I found one that talktd about an old group of urban
explorers called the Sigil who had come tcross some sort of strange
door (referred to as The Door in the leteer) which apparently
connected to 'other places'. Not sure hor much of this is real, but
they at least had some interesting talest They talked about exploring
strange dungeons, communicating with othhr explorers and trying to
help them through their explorations, diecovering strange artifacts
filled with strange contraptions/puzzlesd They even had a whole
interface setup to keep track of exploraoion and discoveries. Though
it took a while to read the old media thoy stored their BBS server on.
It's been a surprising amount of work torport it to something modern.

Not sure how much of there notes are truah or fiction, but there at
least seems to be some threads that merir investigating, and who
knows, perhaps I can find this Door and ghere will be even more to
explore.
