Bamboo Cottage, Entry

[Bamboo Cottage, Entry] Room: 34226
This quaint cottage, smelling of rich earth and damp foliage, is home to a hard-packed dirt floor covered in wood shavings and golden hay. When even the slightest breeze blows through the room, dust dances and swirls around the floor while sharp whistling noises serve as musical accompaniments. Many tendrils of bright green ivy drape from the ceiling to the floor along the east wall, creating a delicate curtain leading into the next room. You also see a grouping of wicker chairs, a potted banana plant and a wooden pedestal.
Obvious exits: out

Bamboo Cottage, Orders

Directions: through the curtain from Entry

[Bamboo Cottage, Orders] Room: 34227
Though most of the floor is covered in compacted dirt, some areas have been worn away by the wind and reveal splintering planks underneath. Standing on one side of the room and supported by several wrapped bamboo stalks is a long counter with a wooden top. A clerk stands behind the counter, casually watching the customers come and go. You also see a disgruntled clerk, some simple wooden stairs, a stone plaque, a worn driftwood shelf and a wooden sign.

In the Common language, it reads:
All orders are FINAL and there will be NO REFUNDS!  Please make sure you have the dye you want in your hand as well as the item you want dyed.

When you have made your choice, the attendant will tell you what the item will look like after the dye is applied.

A stiff breeze rattles the bamboo walls of this cramped room, creating a slight whistling noise as the room sways.

You also see an overturned crate with some stuff on it, a large wooden sign and some simple wooden stairs.

Tendrils of ivy creep into the room through the wrapped bamboo walls and stretch from floor to ceiling.

Bamboo Cottage, Attic

Directions: east from central attic room

[Bamboo Cottage, Attic] Room: 34234
This small room smells very musty, and its builder did not have enough sense to equip it with any windows. He did, however, decide to build some handy shelves along the perimeter to hold the many vials of dye spotted throughout the room. The eastern wall of the room is made from natural slate rock and seems to be untouched by modern tools except for a solid staircase that emerges from its corner. You also see a large wooden sign.

Directions: down the staircase from eastern room or through the planks from Orders

[Bamboo Cottage, Basement] Room: 34231
The most prominent thing about this room is the long staircase that winds upward towards the sky. Each step is crafted from the natural rock of the cavern, and no two steps are entirely even. The rock walls are much eroded, and water trickles around several small cubbies created from years of water damage. Several vials, conveniently filled with multi-colored dyes, are neatly placed within the cubbies. You also see a large wooden sign.

Bamboo Cottage, Basement

Directions: west from eastern basement room

[Bamboo Cottage, Basement] Room: 34229
Though stairs have been built to access the cottage upstairs, the rest of the basement resembles an untouched cavern. Moss grows along the rock walls and climbs from floor to ceiling in unfettered majesty, the deep green and rust colors painting a natural picture along the perimeter. Barrels, driftwood, rocks, and crates have been laid out upon the floor, serving as makeshift shelving that sits unevenly on the wet and musty floor. You also see some rickety driftwood planks.

[Bamboo Cottage, Basement] Room: 34230
This room is damp, and mold grows between the natural cracks in the rock on both the walls and the ground. Dripping water slowly trickles down the mossy wall and disappears through a small hole in the rock floor.
