You enter a large cavernous hall.
You enter the tower. All the stairways and ceilings have collapsed, making it almost impossible to cross this room.
[NAME] trips over a beam and falls right onto the wreckage.
[NAME] steps on a wooden splinter.
[NAME] stumbles and falls.
You feel a strong urge to go back. You did find a lot of gold and it may be worthwhile to take another look. You wouldn’t want to overlook something and leave it for some unscrupulous plundering band of thieves, now would you?
[NAME] twisted an ankle.
The rubble shifts and [NAME] falls painfully.
The corners of this room is full of rubble and debris. The outer walls have collapsed and the ceiling supports have given way. The entire structure looks as if its about to come down.
Do you want to examine the debris?
All you find are stones and splintered wood.
You uncover a chest!
Carefully, you open the unlocked chest and discover that the bottom can be opened. Beneath it, a ladder hangs down a narrow shaft.
do you climb down?
End of the line, i’m afraid. The outer wall has collapsed and you are standing at a deep chasm.
You are walking about on the rubble.
You are walking about on the debris.
A ladder leads upwards through a shaft and ends at a trap door.
do you climb up?
You are standing in front of a massive door that has neither lock nor handle. A human skeleton is nailed to the door with large iron clamps, almost mocking you as it dangles there.

[NAME] you, there is a mirror attached to the wall. On the opposite wall a lever sticks out.
You are not visible in the mirror, only the wall and the lever appear.
In the mirror, you see your friends exploring another corridor.
You step through the mirror. Now you are standing in front of the lever, with the mirror behind you.
You cannot walk through the mirror!
You hear a soft cracking noise, but that’s all.
Which lever do you pull?
The lever in your corridor?
The lever in the corridor behind the mirror?
You hear a soft cracking noise, then there is a rumble from somewhere distant.
You can do nothing other than shake hands through the mirror!
The chest contains only a few shreds of rotting clothes that no one in his right mind would want to wear.
Pheeeuwgh! The stink from that chest is incredible! You immediately drop the lid, but the terrible odor lingers on. Your stomach turns as you fight down nausea.
do you open the chest again anyway?
[NAME] gets sick. The contents of this chest may have once been edible but now the appearance, much less the smell, is bad enough to send you to your knees.
When you open the chest, you see 12 [N] figurines arranged in a circle at the bottom. Each figurine represents one of the twelve gods. With a sense of awe, you close the lid - very carefully, as you dare not disturb the arrangement.
In the corner are a few old and rusty implements. Most of them are no more than unidentifiable remnants of rusted iron and moldy wood.
Some heavy wooden beams are leaning on the wall and some large clamps lie scattered about the floor. All of the pieces look quite deteriorated with age.
Debris has fallen off the walls and ceiling into the hallway. The ceiling beams look rotted and ready to collapse at the slightest provocation.
When you pass the spot, your steps suffice to shake whole stones from the walls and ceiling and they clatter heavily to the ground. You freeze in place for a moment as the ceiling creaks loudly.
The hallway is littered with debris sitting in piles reaching up to your knees. The debris seems to be from the walls and ceiling and what remains standing appears rotten through and through… the entire place seems to be in danger of collapse at any moment.
With an almighty crash the beams give way, bringing down an avalanche of stone debris. You just manage to jump back, but the thick clouds of dust in the air make it impossible for you to see a thing.
[NAME] was hit by a beam. By some incredible luck, though, [NAME] received no more than a few scratches!
The corridor is blocked by broken wooden beams and rubble. You may be able to clear a way through the obstruction if you want to give it a try.
Just as you have almost cleared a path through the debris to the corridor, your luck gives out as another section of the ceiling comes crashing down. You just manage to jump out of the way.
It is hard work, but you finally manage to clear the corridor enough to squeeze through.
You cleared this part of the corridor only minutes ago.
You cleared this part of the corridor only minutes ago, but already enough debris has come down to block it again.
do you want to clear it again?
There is a rusty pick-axe in the corner.
do you take it along?
The pick-axe really is very rusty, but at least it’s still functional.
The corridor comes to an abrupt end at a partly hewn rock-face.
A few ancient gold coins lie scattered on the floor.
do you take them?
The chest contains a fortune in ancient gold coins, golden goblets and figurines, huge diamonds, innumerable pearl necklaces and too many other fineries to count. All this loot must have a combined value of thousands of ducats. You could not possibly carry it all, but even what you can manage to take will be enough to make you all extremely wealthy people!
do you want to gather up as much treasure as possible?
You feel like a heavy burden is lifted from your shoulders as you leave the ruins. Ever since you first entered the unstable corridors, something about this place just hasn’t felt right. Slowly you continue your journey towards [NAME].
