a derelict tavern built into the rock face, [Map Room 29], Lich #26527, go tavern

WTT Entry

[Wrong Turn Tavern]	RNUM: 26733
Built into the rock face, the derelict tavern is relatively bare, with only a handful of slipshod tables and chairs tucked under funnel-shaped glass lamps hanging from the craggy ceiling. Cluttered on one side with six tall stools, a rough-edged oak bar is covered in a milky film, and the other side is entirely bereft of clean glassware and -- perhaps the reason for the general lack of patrons -- liquor. Middling circular holes that serve as windows are cut into the rock and offer a view of the seascape to the east.

Hideaway Cavern

[Hideaway Cavern]
Rocky walls consisting of dark shale in some areas and limestone in others spread all around in this cozy space. A diminutive worktable, its surface covered in dust and ashes, holds a handful of blades sans hilts, some stained with sanguine and all wrought with cracks through their metal makeup. Clearly ready for display and sale, a separate collection of blades, each finely crafted into a dagger and fully intact, dangles from a braided black rope that splays across the length of the area.
Obvious exits: east

We ask that you refrain from taking anything from the worktable.  Unless you want us to run out of merchandise.
            We suggest that you do not think about how the dead things on the bench are used in the making of said merchandise.

The daggers are for rituals, and though they may involve prayer, they are not specifically tied to the Arkati.

The gold kaiken and the emerald ritual dagger will not be very useful in combat.  The other dagger-based blades are useful in combat and employ an enchant as close to vultite's as is possible for their natural base material.

The sheaths are made for several blade types and are known as Rocket Sheaths.  They are worn as follows:
   Honeyed leather - belt
   Suede - wrist
   Narrow (kidskin) - arm
   Alabaster - shoulder

Passage

[Hideaway Cavern, Passage]
Damp and somewhat humid, with a small vent occasionally spurting out grey mist, the area is narrow. More like a passageway than a proper room, it stretches a goodly length, with a slope leading steeply downward at the far end. Black ropes are suspended against both of the longer cavern walls, one hung with varied daggers, the other supporting assorted small sheaths. Fending off complete darkness, funnel-shaped glass lanterns droop down from above at unevenly spaced intervals.
Obvious exits: west

The daggers are for best used by those who are religious.  If you are not religious, the spirits that roam this world are where you will focus your thoughts.

The hematite pavade and the grey stone dagger will not be very useful in combat.  The other dagger-based blades are useful in combat and employ an enchant as close to vultite's as is possible for their natural base material.

The sheaths are specially made for small blades and are worn as follows:
   Grey suede - back
   Scorpion-etched - shoulder
   Glaes-buckled - forearm
   Charred leather - upper arm
   Leather - thigh
   Charcoal - ankle

Skyfall

[Hideaway Cavern, Skyfall]

Affording a spectacular view of the mist-filled darkness outside, the cavern wall falls away on one side of an upward slope, completely open to the elements and a precipitous drop-off. The opposite wall expands outward, allowing ample room for the wares draped from multiple hooks and placed atop a long driftwood table. Shoved against the walls are substantial piles of dead kelp, which exude the stench of rotting sea life. Almost indiscernible in a shadowed niche, a warped door bears deep gashes.

BE AWARE!! !
  TEMPERATURE VARIANCE THROUGH THIS DOOR!!!
              IF YOU CATCH COLD, THAT IS YOUR OWN FAULT -- YOU WERE WARNED!!!
