Janitor's Closet
As you step through the doorway, you realize you've entered a room so vast, you can see the distant curvature of the Earth. On the distant, foggy horizon, the ceiling appears to meet the floor, blending in the mist. The only thing in this enormous, cavernous area are shelves, shelves and more shelves, all of them empty, dwindling into nothingness. This of course disproves the ancient belief that there's never enough closet space.

On the shelves is an aerosol can.

The Mud Forum
This large, square chamber is certainly messy enough for a mud forum (whatever that might be), but there is no mud in sight (for purposes of argument, it could be postulated that the water source for the mud has dried up, or that mud was brought in for some scientific purpose, or that MUD refers to a Multi-User Dungeon of the sort now popular among the better-socialized members of the adventurer class.) In the southeast corner of the room a sign reading, "Exhibit Closed! Danger!" overlays another sign, beneath which is a sealed door. On the floor, starting near the center of the room, four large symbols have been painted in royal purple; a large display unit with a heavy wooden cover stands behind.

Then, after a few moments, an almost magical, three-dimensional scene comes into view: a man with a flattened head stands in the foreground, while directly behind him is a tree. Behind the tree you can clearly see a house, while behind the house, hovering off the ground, is a hot-air balloon. Oddly, the raft appears off to the side, as if not in the scene at all. After getting a good look, you drop the cover and release the button.

Edge of Chasm
The road ends suddenly at a wide chasm. The road leads upward to the north, and you can see it continuing on the southern side of the chasm.

Lying in a tight coil at the edge of the chasm is a hissing snake.

The snake appears to be curled around a featureless white cube. description: Edge of Chasm inventory: ["Helistar's grimoire", 'cedarwood box', 'spell book', '(players_coin)', 'magic burin'] |action| north reward: 0 hint: ['east', 'take in northwest', 'south', 'close box', 'put grimoire down', 'put box down', 'put book down', 'put burin down', 'put coin down', 'put all down', 'examine grimoire', 'examine book', 'examine spell', 'put grimoire in box', 'put book in box', 'put burin in box', 'put coin in box', 'put all in box'] state:

Dead End
This part of the town is radically different from the parts closer to the tower. The roads are narrower and the paving is irregular, sometimes stone slabs and sometimes cobblestones. The buildings are tall but less well kept than before. There are still no windows or doors, but there are a few overhead bridges from house to house. The road ends here and the only way out is to the north.

A cat is sitting on one of the overhead bridges.

Stairs
You are the top of an staircase, leading down into darkness. A few steps above is the opening, through which you can return to the city.

Charles arrives, and looks around with a puzzled expression. He seems to hesitate briefly, and then says 'Look, I know that this must sound insane, but ever since I came here I keep getting the feeling that I have seen this place before, like in a dream or in a distant past that I have almost forgotten.' description: Stairs inventory: ['vial labelled Mukhtar', 'Caelestae Horriblis', 'wrought iron key', 'mysterious vial', 'mysterious vial', 'yellow paper', 'hideous statue'] |action| d reward: 0 hint: ['south', 'north', 'put statue down', 'put key down', 'put mysterious vial down', 'put mukhtar down', 'put horriblis down', 'put paper down', 'put all down'] state: Charles looks down the stairs and says gravely 'Don't ask me how, but I just know that if I go down there I won't return alive. Go ahead if you have to, but I will stay here and wait for you.'

In the almost complete darkness, the stairs seem endless but you finally arrive to a corridor far below the city.

Corridor
The staircase to the south opens into a wide corridor, reaching further north. One both side massive walls rise, culminating in massive vaults, on which carvings are just visible. The floor is strewn with fallen blocks, sand, and detritus of every kind.

Behind and above, a faint luminous blur tells of the distant world outside. description: Corridor inventory: ['vial labelled Mukhtar', 'Caelestae Horriblis', 'wrought iron key', 'mysterious vial', 'mysterious vial', 'yellow paper', 'hideous statue'] |action| x carvings reward: 0 hint: ['south', 'north', 'put statue down', 'put key down', 'put mysterious vial down', 'put mukhtar down', 'put horriblis down', 'put paper down', 'put all down'] state: The stone is badly fragmented and the carvings almost gone. description: Corridor inventory: ['vial labelled Mukhtar', 'Caelestae Horriblis', 'wrought iron key', 'mysterious vial', 'mysterious vial', 'yellow paper', 'hideous statue'] |action| x blocks reward: 0 hint: ['south', 'north', 'put statue down', 'put key down', 'put mysterious vial down', 'put mukhtar down', 'put horriblis down', 'put paper down', 'put all down'] state: They are just shapeless fragments of stone. description: Corridor inventory: ['vial labelled Mukhtar', 'Caelestae Horriblis', 'wrought iron key', 'mysterious vial', 'mysterious vial', 'yellow paper', 'hideous statue'] |action| n reward: 0 hint: ['south', 'north', 'put key down', 'put mysterious vial down', 'put horriblis down', 'put paper down', 'put statue down', 'put mukhtar down', 'put all down'] state:

Chamber
You are in a round vaulted chamber, about fifty feet across. The black masonry suggests that this might be a room under one of the mysterious buildings in the city. The chamber is bare and undecorated. Two corridors lead from this room, one to the south and one to the east. Looking up also reveals a square opening in the ceiling.

In the floor just below the opening in the ceiling is a trapdoor. It is closed and carefully sealed down with metal bands.

Seeing the trapdoor suddenly gives you an unexpected feeling of fear, and suggestions of some special peril. description: Chamber inventory: ['vial labelled Mukhtar', 'Caelestae Horriblis', 'wrought iron key', 'mysterious vial', 'mysterious vial', 'yellow paper', 'hideous statue'] |action| x trapdoor reward: 0 hint: ['south', 'east', 'put statue down', 'put key down', 'put mysterious vial down', 'put mukhtar down', 'put horriblis down', 'put paper down', 'put all down'] state: The trapdoor is carefully sealed with metal bands, which look strong.

Rock Chamber
This is a black chamber, directly cut in the rock. Crystals embedded in the walls reflect and magnify the available  light. There is an antique gas stove mounted in one of the walls, and a rack just above it. The sole exit leads west into a dark corridor.

The chamber seems ancient, but the furniture feels more recent. Someone must have been using this chamber not so long ago.

You can also see a chair and a wooden chest (which is closed) here. description: Rock Chamber inventory: ['vial labelled Mukhtar', 'Caelestae Horriblis', 'wrought iron key', 'mysterious vial', 'mysterious vial', 'yellow paper', 'hideous statue'] |action| x stove reward: 0 hint: ['take bottle', 'take chair', 'take kettle', 'take yellow', 'take red powder', 'turn stove on', 'take into chair', 'put statue down', 'put key down', 'put mysterious vial down', 'put mukhtar down', 'put horriblis down', 'put yellow down', 'put all down', 'open bottle', 'light stove with bottle', 'light stove with chair', 'light stove with kettle', 'light stove with yellow powder', 'light stove with red powder', 'take all off rack', 'put statue on rack', 'put statue on chair', 'put key on rack', 'put key on chair', 'put mysterious vial on rack', 'put mysterious vial on chair', 'put mukhtar on rack', 'put mukhtar on chair', 'put horriblis on rack', 'put horriblis on chair', 'put yellow on rack', 'put yellow on chair', 'put all on rack', 'put all on chair', 'west'] state: It is an old gas stove, which can be turned on by turning a switch.

In the corner is an open hatch. Peering downward, you see a ladder descending into gloom.

A corridor disappears to the north, and a damp stairway winds upward into the tower.

The highest room in the tower is a laboratory, complete with bubbling chemicals and foul odors. An antique telescope is mounted near an open window to the north, and a control panel occupies most of the south wall.

The only exit is a damp stairway leading downward.

A black cat is sound asleep in the corner.

Cottage
This is the cottage of Miss Voss, the former town librarian. The walls are lined with timeworn books and dusty, faded photographs. Looks like nobody's lived here for a long time.

There's a dusty bookcase with a steel key on it near the open front door. Somebody has scrawled a message in the dust on the bookcase.
