The Seventh Suite - Death [Exits: south] The final room does not match the color of the stained glass windows before it. Oddly, the windows were a deep scarlet color, but this room is shrouded in black velvet tapestries that hang all over the ceiling and down the walls, falling in heavy folds upon a carpet of the same material and hue. Within this black chamber the effect of the fire-light that streamed upon the dark hangings through the blood-tinted panes, was ghastly in the extreme, and produced so wild a look upon the countenances of those who entered, that there were few of the company bold enough to set foot within its precincts at all. A gigantic grandfather clock of ebony stands against the western wall.

Stained glass windows are placed in front of each room; the color of the windows coordinates with the colors of the room's tapestries. The hallway is eerily almost dead silent now; few people dare to venture into these last three rooms. The fifth and sixth rooms are remarkably quaint considering this grim setting, but the seventh room has been untouched by any of the guests, for it has a much menacing look. To the west, an astonishing white stained glass window is glowing brightly, and to the east, an uncanny violet colored stained glass window hides the mystic contents of a small room.

The Entranceway [Exits: north east west up] The first floor of this stoic mansion is dedicated to a grand ballroom. The inside of this mansion contrasts greatly with the bleak outside; lavish decorations and majestic tapestries envelop the entire room, expanding out to the surrounding other sections of the ballroom. A statue formed from solid gold stands in the middle of the room, its obvious that this must be the residence of a very prosperous prince. The sound of people partying and a band playing resonate through the room. Strangers hidden behind masques and other party-going people shuffle through this room. There must be a masquerade ball tonight. An immense marble staircase leads upwards, and a smaller wooden door leads down to the cellar. The corpse of Bipcus the Butler is lying here.

A gigantic glass chandelier hangs from the ceiling, overlooking the entire ballroom; its distinctive presence has drawn several masquerades into this room where they seem to endlessly dance and forget about all of their problems. Their laughs of pure ecstasy echo throughout the entire ballroom and perhaps even into the upper parts of the mansion. The beautiful ballroom floor looks to have been endlessly polished, and at near the center of the room, the striking coat of arms of the Prospero family line is displayed in a gorgeous mural work. The vast size of this room is damn near impressive; the true riches of the prince can now be seen. Music can be heard coming from somewhere to the north of here, and a pleasant smell of food is coming from the west.

Some of the masqueraders have taken seat here, awaiting the serving of the meal and its guest of honor to arrive and take seat at the head of long formal table. The master seat at the northern end of the table is very luxurious and is almost as big as the end of the table itself; the workings of the chair look to be made out of solid gold and lined with diamonds. The cooks have begun to set up the dinner, and wine is being chilled at both ends of the table. What has already been brought out fills the air with a fresh delightful smell.

This is where the prince overseas the entire parties and balls, while also having a good seat for watching and listening to the band play. The view of the center of the ballroom from his impressive chair is rather immaculate. Behind the prince's view lies an unlit and quite haunting section of the ballroom.

The sound of people partying and a band playing resonate through the room. Strangers hidden behind masques and other party-going people shuffle through this room. There must be a masquerade ball tonight. An immense marble staircase leads upwards, and a smaller wooden door leads down to the cellar. <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1059/1061 They aren't here. <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1059/1061 s c fro gaston The door is closed. <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1059/1061 where They aren't here. <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1059/1061 Players near you: Pharo The Entranceway (pk) Maxim Southwest Corner of the Ballroom (pk) Gaston The Grand Dinner Table <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1059/1061 n w Sneaking.. The Center of the Ballroom [Exits: north east south west] Gazing up, the ceiling doesn't seem to end. A gigantic glass chandelier hangs from the ceiling, overlooking the entire ballroom; its distinctive presence has drawn several masquerades into this room where they seem to endlessly dance and forget about all of their problems. Their laughs of pure ecstasy echo throughout the entire ballroom and perhaps even into the upper parts of the mansion. The beautiful ballroom floor looks to have been endlessly polished, and at near the center of the room, the striking coat of arms of the Prospero family line is displayed in a gorgeous mural work. The vast size of this room is damn near impressive; the true riches of the prince can now be seen. Music can be heard coming from somewhere to the north of here, and a pleasant smell of food is coming from the west. A man in a wicked jester costume dances about! A masquerader creeps around, hiding behind his costume. A ballet dancer graces across the room. <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1057/1061 c fro gaston Sneaking.. The Grand Dinner Table [Exits: north east south] A massive oak dinner table occupies the majority of this section of the ballroom. Some of the masqueraders have taken seat here, awaiting the serving of the meal and its guest of honor to arrive and take seat at the head of long formal table. The master seat at the northern end of the table is very luxurious and is almost as big as the end of the table itself; the workings of the chair look to be made out of solid gold and lined with diamonds. The cooks have begun to set up the dinner, and wine is being chilled at both ends of the table. What has already been brought out fills the air with a fresh delightful smell. A buffoon is here, making an ass of himself. A waltzer makes his way around the room.

Southwest Corner of the Ballroom [Exits: north east] This corner of the ballroom is elegantly decorated with dark tapestries hanging from the tall skyscraper ceiling, flowing around the frame of a gold trimmed painting of Prince Prospero. The painting adds a very eerie feeling to the room, as the prince is nowhere to be seen at the party. Perhaps he too is wearing a masque? A small group of masqueraders have collaborated in this room, starring down the giant canvas painting and admiring it luscious craftsmanship. A pleasant smell of fresh food fills the air throughout the room. (White Aura) Maxim is Mr. Wonderful! is here, ready to take on an army. <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1053/1061 n They aren't here. <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1053/1061 n Sneaking..

Northwest Corner of the Ballroom [Exits: east south] The large drapes that cover the windows have been partially ripped down from the ceiling, leaving a small opening of the view of the outside, the only view of the outside from the ballroom. No light shines through the hole, but when looking carefully it appears you can distinguish something in the foggy backyard. This room is a great location for partygoers to mingle in, being located near the dining area and the band. (White Aura) 9 images of Gaston the Ancient is here, doing a weird acrobatic dance. A ballet dancer graces across the room. Gaston closes his eyes, and prays. Gaston utters the words, 'yucandusxarr'. Gaston chants feverishly and a flaming wall emerges out of nowhere. <2977/2977hp> <3999/3999ma> <13501506exp> <467971gold> <1000align> 1049/1061 e Your eyes glow red for an instant!
