Rooms in Isles

• A Room in the Hold - You are in a sparsely furnished room, obviously occupied by men at arms. Low pallets are on the north and south walls. A small fire glows in a pit in the room center, and the smoke winds its way upward and out a high iron barred window. Near the window is a platform from which an archer could stand and fire.
• At the Lagoon Entrance - You have sailed into seas surrounding a rocky atoll. The surf crashes on the sharp jagged rocks, preventing a landing. The lagoon opens up to the south, and a mild current pulls you that way.
• Climbing the Black Mountain - You are climbing on the steep slopes of a black rock mountain. Hot searing gas bursts from vents around you. The mountain drops steeply into a churning sea below, much too dangerous to descend. Far below a blowhole spurts over and over with the rhythm of the sea.
• In the Great Ice Cavern - You stand in a huge ice cavern, the ceiling is some 80' above you. In the center of the cavern, a bonfire roars, making the stalactites and stalagmites leap and lurch as if the entire cavern were a demons mouth laughing at you.
• In the Hall of the Pirate Lord - You stand in the hall of the pirate lord. Above on a dias is a desk and a chair. Where you are is a table with 9 chairs around it. On the walls are charts of the seas, and various mounted fish. To the east is a barracks area, and to the west is an iron gate. Stairs wind upwards into a shaft from which hot air emanates. It is up these stairs that most of the pirates scurry when you enter the room.
• In the Jungle - You are in a dense tropical jungle at a junction of paths. You squat and look at the trail and see the fairly recent prints of a wild boar. The heavy humidity of the jungle is making you sweat profusely.
• In the Vast Hall of the Pirate Lord - You stand in the vast hall of the 4th Pirate Lord. Tables are grouped in the northern section, upon which are heaped the scraps and leftovers of a recent meal. Two stone hearths are ablaze on the eastern and western ends with bonfires. The south end is an elevated dias with a table and a long couch upon which lies several beautiful slaves. A stone staircase is accessible through the south end of the hall.
• Inside the Hold - You are in a long hallway inside the hold. Granite walls rise up around you. Torches flicker and gutter in iron holders. Several doors line the hall. Far to your south is a massive double door. To your north is the keep entrance.
• On the Flying Mountain - You stand on the firm ground of the flying mountain. You are so high that clouds drift across the island like thick fog banks. To the north of you is the granite keep, and south, at the island's edge, is a rope winch.
• On the Flying Mountain - You stand on the firm ground of the flying mountain. You are so high that clouds drift across the island like thick fog banks. Far below you shines the seas of the Pirate Lords. In the center of the island stands a granite keep. Off in the distance you here the squawk of a very large bird.

• On the Seas Surrounding an Atoll - You have sailed into seas surrounding a rocky atoll. The surf crashes on the sharp jagged rocks, preventing a landing. You trail your toe along in the water and feel a westerly current.
• On the Seas Surrounding an Atoll - Donner MAULS you with his MAULS!! Donner rips apart the fabric of time and space You have sailed into seas surrounding a rocky atoll. The surf crashes on the sharp jagged rocks, preventing a landing. All of this salt water is making you thirsty.
• Sailing the Sea of Ice - Donner MAULS you with his MAULS!! Donner MAULS you with his MAULS!! Donner MAULS you with his MAULS!! Donner INJURES you with his MAULS. Donner MAULS you with his MAULS!! Donner MAULS you with his MAULS!! Donner INJURES you with his MAULS. Donner MAULS you with his MAULS!! Donner MUTILATES you with his MAULS!! Donner rips apart the fabric of time and space You are sailing the sea of ice. The channel is poor at best, with ice pressing in on all sides. Far to your south is a huge iceberg. The wind whips along unhindered across the flat ice, chilling you to the core.
• Walking the Lava Flows - Phew!!! It's a bit ripe in here. There are stalls lining both sides of the wall in here and a big sleigh in the very back. You can hear hoofs scratching the ground in a frenzy and antlers rustling against the gates. They look eager to get out and the one at the back with the red nose looks downright vicious. He's the only one that isn't rattling his antlers he's just flashing you a menacing grin.
• Walking the Lava Flows - You are walking the shinz black lava flows that flow from the mountain down into the sea, being careful to avoid the gas vents and hot lava. There are plenty of exits into the mountain, but none of them look safe. At the waters edge the red hot lava boils the surrounding ocean in a deafening roar.
