[Evermore Hotel, Library]
Towering bookshelves are crammed with grimoires, tomes, and scrolls adorned with mystical symbols shimmering in the dim light of softly glowing orbs.  Tables scattered throughout the library are covered with open books, their pages fluttering as if stirred by an unseen breeze laden with the musty scent of aged parchment.

The dog gazes ahead blankly, seemingly oblivious to its surroundings.
Blodeuyn says, "Down there, you will also find our famous mud baths.  A chance to grungy up of you are so inclined to that.  Either way, they are very relaxing and the mud does wonders for the skin."

[Evermore Hotel, Solarium]
Sunlight pours through the glass roof onto lush greenery in terra-cotta pots, their waxy leaves and blooming flowers reaching towards the warm rays.

[Evermore Hotel, Garden Patio]
The doors of the hotel open onto a cobblestone patio overlooking a labyrinthine garden maze, its once carefully manicured paths now swallowed by rampant overgrowth.  Vines snake up the stone walls, their tendrils reaching out like skeletal fingers, and clusters of thick, dark ivy hang in tangled masses.  A pair of stone statues weathered by time and neglect are half-buried in the undergrowth, their features obscured by creeping black moss.

[Evermore Hotel, Black Gate]
The air is thick with the scent of damp earth and something faintly metallic, mingling with the occasional, acrid tang of poisonous blooms.  The once-pristine pathways are choked with creeping weeds and thorny underbrush, making every step a cautious endeavor.  The way north is cut off by a tall black iron gate, its hinges thick with rust, while a pair of ill-omened gargoyles silently watch from their crumbling perches atop a stone wall.  You also see a western pathway and an eastern pathway.

[Evermore Hotel, Lounge]
A haze of cigar smoke lingers above tuft-backed leather sofas that invite lounging in front of a stone fireplace with a silver-framed oil painting hanging above its blackened mantel.  Scattered along the dark wood-paneled walls, panes of stained glass separate tables into cozy booths.  A nacre-tiled clockface mosaic set into the polished floor seems to indicate that the time is perpetually midnight.  You also see a door.

[Evermore Hotel, Library]
Towering bookshelves are crammed with grimoires, tomes, and scrolls adorned with mystical symbols shimmering in the dim light of softly glowing orbs.  Tables scattered throughout the library are covered with open books, their pages fluttering as if stirred by an unseen breeze laden with the musty scent of aged parchment.  An enormous tapestry hangs above a grand stone fireplace carved to resemble the gaping maw of a colossal dragon frozen in a perpetual roar.  You also see a black-lacquered witchwood bar framed by mist-enshrouded iron cauldrons with some stuff on it, an overstuffed dark leather couch and a polar bear skin rug.

[Evermore Hotel, Grand Hall]
Highly polished floors reflect tiered chandeliers suspended on lengthy chains overhead, the flickering candles catching specks of gold in the black marble underfoot.  On all sides, carpeted staircases climb up and out of sight to the floor above, the walls presenting a gallery of artwork to be discovered on each flight.

Blodeuyn says, "The works of art add a profound sense of history and depth to the hotels, transforming it from mere accommodations into an immersive cultural experience.  They tell stories of long-gone eras and civilizations, creating a connection between the past and present.  You can find such paintings throughout the entire hotel."

[Evermore Hotel, Dining Room]
Heavy velvet drapes obscure foggy arched windows, allowing only a faint ghostly light to filter through.  Surrounded by high-backed brocade chairs, the centerpiece of the room is a grand ebony dining table polished to a mirror shine and inlaid with a silvery web pattern, each delicate strand glistening in the wavering light cast by a tiered crystal chandelier.  A collection of polished flatware and bone china dishes painted with the hotel crest are laid out on a linen-draped sideboard against the wall.  You also see a tall ivory marble urn framed in dark-colored florals, several floating glass trays interspersed by smoke-filled bubbles with some stuff on it, a branch-like ghostwood basket perched on a base of raven-carved marble and a kitchen door.

[Evermore Hotel, Grand Hall]
Highly polished floors reflect tiered chandeliers suspended on lengthy chains overhead, the flickering candles catching specks of gold in the black marble underfoot.  On all sides, carpeted staircases climb up and out of sight to the floor above, the walls presenting a gallery of artwork to be discovered on each flight.  Richly appointed settees clustered around evenly spaced columns marching down the center of the hall encourage casual discourse between guests.  You also see a hollow-eyed bellhop, a gilded quatrefoil arch and a pair of double ebony doors.

[Evermore Hotel, Ballroom]
Beneath a soaring glass ceiling offering an expansive view of a twilight sky, grand chandeliers dripping with black garnets flicker sporadically, casting erratic shadows that dance across the dark hardwood floor like phantom figures.

Fenthywick takes a verdigris copper hotel key from Blodeuyn's hand, his leathery fingers curling around it.  With a slow, deliberate motion, he inspects the key under his third eye, which flickers open for a split second.  "Ah, room 405, I see.  Fine choice, that one."  He hands the key back, a small smile tugging at the corner of his lips.
(Maylan Exhales hotly, hawing on Saleigh's skirt.)
The slow, steady rise of the platform offers a brief moment of quiet.  Fenthywick rubs the edge of the console, his voice thoughtful.  "I must've ferried hundreds of souls in this thing by now.  Each one different, but somehow, each one the same in their search for something."
The feisty royal penguin shakes her head.
Saleigh says, "I will need both my gown and a costume steamed, as I am unsure if its a costume ball or just a mask tonight."

A place for those caught between here and there.  Some guests don't even realize they've been here longer than they were meant to be."
Irval stares at the platform operator Fenthywick Grimsbane.
Saleigh asks, "Would you know?"
Blodeuyn says, "It is an extra key, I have them of course."
Ermias takes a drink from his hazelnut coffee.
The platform halts with a soft thud, and Fenthywick's demeanor shifts to one of eager anticipation. "Ah, here we are at the Fourth Floor," he exclaims.  With a flourish, he opens the doors, revealing a hallway adorned with ornate paintings and flickering candlelight. "I do hope you find your stay to be as enchanting as the hotel itself.  Please remember to step OUT in the next 30 seconds or you'll end up back on the main floor."
As the platform glides upward, a faint creak of metal echoes through the shaft.  Fenthywick's voice lowers, his eyes scanning the moving walls.  "Strange how the air feels different between the floors, isn't it?  Almost as if the walls themselves remember every guest that passes through."
Speaking to Blodeuyn, Irval says, "Don't go spying around my room."
Ermias softly asks, "Fourth floor?"

Lissaya looks at Faiyth blankly, at a loss to express herself.

JG>push bookcase
Your fingers brush against the spine of an old tome on a fel bookcase.  Pressing the hidden button behind it, you hear a soft click.   The bookcase swings open silently, revealing a dimly lit staircase leading downward.  Without hesitation, you step onto the stairs, the bookcase gliding shut behind you as you descend.  Moments later, you find yourself standing behind a painting as you reach the bottom.  Carefully, you push the canvas aside and step into the room beyond.
[Evermore Hotel, Sitting Room]
Beneath a pair of heavily gilded chandeliers, two fel-framed divans covered in rich citrine suede face each other across a low table of crimson-stained fel.  A thick bearskin rug has been stretched out in front of a tall, black stone fireplace in one corner of the room, a brass-framed oil painting hanging above a crowned hardwood mantle.  Panels of crimson velvet have been drawn over an expansive window, a writing desk at its centerpoint.  You also see a large vibrant harlequin macaw parrot, the hammered silver Meliyara disk and a door.

[Evermore Hotel, Hallway]
A series of dripping candle-laden chandeliers illuminate a variety of oil paintings lining a long walnut-paneled hallway.  Plush carpet runners in wine-dark hues muffle footsteps on the gleaming hardwood floors outside of closed doors, some with notices hanging on the burnished brass handles.   A brass trolley cart stacked with luggage waits in an alcove at the end of the hall.  You also see a hollow-eyed bellhop, a pale-faced coppery barn owl, a gilded scissor gate and a crimson glaes-paneled fel door.

[Evermore Hotel, Library]
Towering bookshelves are crammed with grimoires, tomes, and scrolls adorned with mystical symbols shimmering in the dim light of softly glowing orbs.  Tables scattered throughout the library are covered with open books, their pages fluttering as if stirred by an unseen breeze laden with the musty scent of aged parchment.  An enormous tapestry hangs above a grand stone fireplace carved to resemble the gaping maw of a colossal dragon frozen in a perpetual roar.  You also see a sinuous glaes soul golem, a black-lacquered witchwood bar framed by mist-enshrouded iron cauldrons with some stuff on it, an overstuffed dark leather couch and a polar bear skin rug.
