%%%%
A Zot trap

This trap bears a powerful enchantment that inflicts dangerously unpredictable
magical effects on those unlucky enough to trigger it. It's often worse than
mere damage — you may find yourself thrown into the Abyss, contaminated with
enormous amounts of wild magic, have mighty fiends summoned against you, or the
like — it is something to avoid at all costs.
%%%%
A basalt altar of Yredelemnul

An altar to Yredelemnul the Dark, worked from columnar basalt.

An altar to Trog the Wrathful, crudely made by what seem to be the hands of
giants and covered with bloodstains.
%%%%
A blossoming altar of Fedhas

An altar to Fedhas Madash, covered in vibrant and colourful plant life.
%%%%
A bolt trap

A well-concealed hole containing a crossbow-like contraption with a
self-loading mechanism. Beware of its bolts, as a steel construction can reach
draw forces far above those of a living arbalester.

A broken pillar

The makers of this pillar were overrun long ago. No one alive remembers why
they built it.
%%%%
A broken pillar:quote

“Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken

 which is in the king's dale: for he said,
 I have no son to keep my name in remembrance...”

it was irrevocably corrupted.
%%%%
A crawl-hole back to the Lair

This passage leads back to less cramped spaces with fewer cobwebs.

while chased by some monster.
%%%%
A deep blue altar of Sif Muna

An altar of the deepest blue, covered in intricate patterns and writings in
long forgotten scripts, devoted to Sif Muna the Loreminder.

%%%%
A one-way gate leading to the halls of Pandemonium

lootings of these netherworlds are rare. Even the strongest and most
experienced characters can die there. On the other hand, these halls contain
several runes and lots of valuable items. It is much easier to get in than to
get out.
%%%%
A gas trap

You're lucky to have noticed this trap, for it would have released a cloud of
deadly gas at you. Exactly what gas it holds, you cannot tell — perhaps it is
plain poison, perhaps mutagenic fumes, perhaps flammable vapour, or perhaps
something yet nastier.
%%%%
A gas trap:quote

“Good your grace, an’ I had room for such a thundergust within mine ancient
bowels, ’tis not in reason I coulde discharge ye same and live to thank God for

    -Mark Twain, “1601”, 1880.
%%%%
A gate to the Realm of Zot

This gate leads to the Realm of Zot, the final stage of your quest as its
deepest level houses the infamous Orb of Zot. Both the Orb and this Realm have
a fearsome and questionable reputation, but one piece of information seems to
be certain: The monsters inhabiting this area and protecting the Orb are strong
and strange — some of them encountered nowhere but here.
%%%%
A gateway back into the Dungeon

This gate allows a feat popularly thought to be impossible: escaping Hell
alive.
%%%%
A gateway leading out of the Abyss

A gateway out of this accursed place, shimmering and shifting in the
impermanent landscape.

This gateway leads to the Vestibule of Hell. Few would go there voluntarily.
%%%%
A gateway to Hell:quote

“I am the way into the city of woe.
 I am the way to a forsaken people.
 I am the way into eternal sorrow.

 Sacred justice moved my architect.
 I was raised here by divine omnipotence,
 Primordial love and ultimate intellect.

 Only those elements time cannot wear
 Were made before me, and beyond time I stand.
 Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.”
    -Dante Alighieri, _The Divine Comedy_, “Inferno”, Canto III. ca. 1315.
     trans. John Ciardi, 1954.

A glowing golden altar of the Shining One

An altar to the Shining One, made from the purest gold and almost blinding in
its radiance.
%%%%
A glowing silver altar of Zin

An altar to Zin the Law-Giver, made from silver as pristine as Zin's followers
are expected to be, and glowing gently.
%%%%
A granite statue

Despite the hardness of the stone, this statue's features have long withered
away.
%%%%
A granite statue:quote

“I met a traveller from an antique land
 Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
 Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
 Half sunk, a shatter’d visage lies, whose frown
 And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command
 Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
 Which yet survive, stamp’d on these lifeless things,
 The hand that mock’d them and the heart that fed.
 And on the pedestal these words appear:
 ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
 Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’
 Nothing beside remains: round the decay
 Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,
 The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
    -Percy Bysshe Shelley, “Ozymandias”. 1818.
%%%%
A hole to the Spider Nest

This is more of a natural sloped shaft than a stairway, but it will do. If you
want to die from the most potent venoms of this world, that is.
%%%%
A labyrinth entrance

A gateway to an intricate maze designed by subtle and malicious minds, its exit
guarded by a fearsome monster. Many a hapless adventurer has lost his way in
the twisted, shifting passages, and starved to death.
%%%%
A labyrinth entrance:quote

“Maze-treaders, whose vision ahead and behind is severely constricted and
fragmented, suffer confusion, whereas maze-viewers who see the pattern whole,
from above or in a diagram, are dazzled by its complex artistry. What you see
depends on where you stand, and thus, at one and the same time, labyrinths are
single (there is one physical structure) and double: they simultaneously
incorporate order and disorder, clarity and confusion, unity and multiplicity,
artistry and chaos.”
    -Mark Z. Danielewski, “House of Leaves”. 2000.

“Since I emerged that day from the labyrinth,
 Dazed with the tall and echoing passages,
 The swift recoils, so many I almost feared
 I’d meet myself returning at some smooth corner,
 Myself or my ghost, for all there was unreal
 After the straw ceased rustling and the bull
 Lay dead upon the straw and I remained,
 Blood-splashed, if dead or alive I could not tell
 In the twilight nothingness”
    -Edwin Muir, “The Labyrinth”. 1949.

A mechanical contraption designed to harm trespassers. A skilled adventurer can
try to disarm it, though.

A natural hazard, although it looks almost as if designed to harm trespassers.

A wall of bluish-grey metal. As every dungeon electrician knows, this stuff
will ground.
%%%%
A needle trap

It is damn sure the needles from this trap are doused in something nasty.
%%%%
A net trap

A large concealed net is hanging from the dungeon's ceiling, with a string
attached and rigged to make it fall onto anyone who trips it.
%%%%
A one-way gate to the infinite horrors of the Abyss

A one-way gate to a demon-haunted realm, riven by chaos, its very substance
impermanent and whimsical, filled with creatures out of nightmare. Easy to
enter, difficult to leave.
%%%%
A one-way gate to the infinite horrors of the Abyss:quote

“And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you.”
    -Friedrich Nietzsche, _Beyond Good and Evil_ , Aphorism 146. 1886.

“Well, in our country,” said Alice, still panting a little, “you’d generally
get to somewhere else - if you ran very fast for a long time, as we’ve been
doing.” “A slow sort of country!” said the Queen. “Now here, you see, it takes
all the running you can do, to keep in the same place. If you want to get
somewhere else, you must run at least twice as fast as that!”
    -Lewis Carroll, _Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There_,
ch. 2
    "The Garden of Live Flowers". 1871.
%%%%
A passage of Golubria

This unstable gateway allows instantaneous travel to another nearby passage of
Golubria, and will close behind anything passing through it.
%%%%
A portal to somewhere

A gash-like tear in reality that looks into some terrifying, starry otherworld.
Thankfully, the magic that opened this portal prevents its vacuum from
consuming and swallowing everything in sight.

A pressure plate

One of the floor stones doesn't seem that sturdy, and you notice that it is a
trigger of some sort, although you can't tell what kind of trap it is attached
to.

An altar, ablaze in the lights of Iskenderun and promising great destructive
powers to those who would follow Vehumet.
%%%%
A rock wall

This wall consists of simple rock.
%%%%
A rock wall:quote

“I know not whether Laws be right,
   Or whether Laws be wrong;

   A year whose days are long.”

it like any other door (i.e., by walking into it or pressing 'O').
%%%%
A sealed door

A door sealed tightly by arcane runes. It refuses to open for any creature not
recognised by its magic.
%%%%
A shaft

A deep hole. Who knows where you might end up if you were to fall through it?
%%%%
A shattered altar of Ashenzari

This crystal altar shattered to pieces when Ashenzari was cursed. But still,
there is power here: a dark aura holds the shards in mid-explosion, suspended
in time and space much like the god they herald.
%%%%
A shimmering altar of Xom

This altar constantly shimmers in all visible colours and probably some
invisible ones, too, matching the whims of Xom the Unpredictable, to whom it is
dedicated.
%%%%
A shop

A shop in the dungeon, beyond sight of the world above, manned by a secretive
and reclusive shopkeeper who cannot be bargained with, grants no refunds, and
is interested in nothing you may have to sell. Some shops hawk antiques of
unknown provenance, and offer little hint as to the quality or nature of their
goods.
%%%%
A slime covered rock wall

This rock wall is thickly coated with bright green slime. Ewwwwww. It is acidic
to the touch, seeming to grow more caustic the deeper you travel.
%%%%
A snail-covered altar of Cheibriados

This altar somehow seems more stationary than the others.
%%%%
A sparkling altar of Nemelex Xobeh

This altar sparkles with a lightshow brighter than any gambling den's to

of stuff. Also taxes and whatever else you ran from.

Climbing these stairs will end your quest, whether you carry the Orb with you
or not.
%%%%
A staircase to the Crypt

These stairs lead to an ancient crypt. Unfortunately, not everything that was
buried there had the decency to stay dead.
%%%%
A staircase to the Ecumenical Temple

An entrance to a temple of Gods, a place of peace and refuge from the insanity
of the dungeon.
%%%%
A staircase to the Ecumenical Temple:quote

„W mieście, którego nazwiska nie powiem,

A wide stair down to the murky depths of the halls of the deep elves, skilled

A staircase to the Orcish Mines

An entrance to the mines of the orcs, filled with their gold, but treacherous

A way to the Tomb of the Ancients, a place of damnation, of horrors animated by

%%%%
A staircase to the Tomb:quote

“In the depths of every heart, there is a tomb and a dungeon, though the
lights, the music, and revelry above may cause us to forget their existence,
and the buried ones, or prisoners whom they hide. But sometimes, and oftenest
at midnight, those dark receptacles are flung wide open. In an hour like this,
when the mind has a passive sensibility, but no active strength; when the
imagination is a mirror, imparting vividness to all ideas, without the power of
selecting or controlling them; then pray that your grieves may slumber, and the
brotherhood of remorse not break their chain.”
    -Nathaniel Hawthorne, "The Haunted Mind". 1835.

They are sprinkled with spots of blood.

Stepping on this teleporter will send you to another room.
%%%%
A teleportation trap

This magical trap can displace anyone hapless enough to step on it — or even
fly above it — to a random place on the same dungeon level.
%%%%
A translucent rock wall

The mineral this rock consists of is as translucent as good quality glass.
Whether it is natural or magical, you can't tell.
%%%%
A translucent stone wall

A harder obstacle than rock walls. Only the mightiest magic can shatter stone
walls. It has been imbued with arcane magics which render it translucent.
%%%%
A translucent unnaturally hard rock wall

This wall is imbued with magic that not only makes it indestructible but also
makes it translucent like glass.
%%%%
A tree

While the dungeon is filled with dim magic light, in most places it is not
bright enough to sustain any larger plants. It is uneven, though, and there are
spots where, with the grace of Fedhas, trees as big as those on the surface can
grow underground.
%%%%
A tree:quote

I like trees because they seem more resigned to the way they have to live than
other things do.

    -Willa Cather, _O Pioneers_. 1913.

A viscous altar of Jiyva

A slimy, ever-shifting altar to Jiyva. You're not sure what it's made from, and
you don't really want to know.
%%%%
A wall of green crystal

For some reason, some dungeon walls, like this one, have been made of this
polished crystal, imbued with arcane magics. They prevent its easy destruction,

This wall is made from the weird stuff which makes up Pandemonium, but seems to
be like rock in most other aspects.
%%%%
A white marble altar of Elyvilon

The spider who left this web must have been huge, as it seems to be made for
trapping {{ return you.genus(true) }} rather than flies.
%%%%
An abandoned shop

This shop has been abandoned.
%%%%
An alarm trap

While this trap does no damage by itself, its loud sound may bring someone to
do damage to you. Of course, you have the option to do damage to those someones
yourself.
%%%%
An ancient bone altar of Kikubaaqudgha

Ancient bones were piled here to form an altar to the terrible Demon-God
Kikubaaqudgha.
%%%%
An arrow trap

You can see several bowstrings and arrows attached to fixed bow-like things.
Typically, in a trap like this, only one is released every time the trigger is
tripped. Such a trap is cheaper and easier to make than an auto-loading
mechanism and a steel bow with the monstrous draw force of a bolt trap, so
don't expect enormous damage. Still, a mere arrow through the artery is enough
to kill a person.
%%%%
An empty arch of ancient stone

A stone archway that seems to have stood here forever and doesn't seem to lead
anywhere in particular.
%%%%
An escape hatch in the ceiling

A spring-loaded one-way escape hatch set in the ceiling.

The endless lava

A sea of fire and brimstone that goes as far as you can see. Which is not far
because of thick smoke.

Unlike small pools of lava where flight may allow short trips, floating above
this inferno would cook you in no time thanks to runaway convection.
%%%%
A floor

A well-worn stone floor made of closely fitted granite flagstones that were
hewn and set untold ages ago by long-forgotten hands.
%%%%
Some deep water

This water is as deep as it is dangerous. No sane traveller would attempt to
set foot into it, apart from those able to fly or swim. Be warned: many
confused adventurers have met their death in the depths, and an unexpected end
of flight has drowned even more careless interlopers.
%%%%
Some lava

An intensely hot pool of molten rock, emitting clouds of sulphurous smoke.
%%%%
Some shallow water

This cloudy, waist-deep water makes movement and combat cumbersome for
landlubbers — this is sometimes dangerous, but never directly fatal.
%%%%
The open sea

Nothing but endless wind and waves, and not a lighthouse in sight. You'd be
lost beyond all hope in short order — better not risk it.

An autumnal tree

These trees, large as they are, appear to be permanently locked in an autumnal
moment: leaves, coloured red and gold, fall from branches and float gracefully
to the floor. Before they even reach the ground, however, a shadow passes, and
when the shimmer is gone, the leaves are once more on the branch, ready to fall
again.

A crumbled stone wall

These walls, though they have fallen into disrepair, appear as locked in time

The features of this statue are strange and alien. Is it because the statue is

# Ice Cave
An ice choked empty arch of ancient stone

It looks like the way you came in has been unused for ages. The portal is not
only old and inoperative, but also nearly completely encased in a mass of ice.

Fortunately, you can see another portal shimmering nearby.
%%%%
An ice covered gate leading back out of here

A still-working portal is standing here. Its magic is holding the ice at bay,
preventing it from completely blocking the gate. You are quite certain that you
won't be able to return here after you pass through it, though, so you'd better
explore this place first.

Or, perhaps, escape with your life before you freeze into an ugly-looking
icicle.
%%%%
An ice covered rock wall

The rock here is covered by a thick layer of frost and ice. Since you can see
liquid water dripping in places, it is obvious how this cave came to be: water
seeped into cracks in the rock and then froze, slowly delving the place you're
in. And so it delves on your remaining body heat.
%%%%
Some ice crusted deep water

The ice here is broken into pieces, and the water it floats on doesn't look
inviting in the slightest.
%%%%
Some ice crusted shallow water

It looks freezing, but if you don't mind hypothermia, you can probably wade
through it.

### Portal vault entrances
###########################
A flagged portal

This portal leads to a forbidden dungeon of the mad chevalier. You know this
because of the black pennant bearing weapons in saltire. It seems as if you had
better enter the portal before the standard is lowered to the ground.
%%%%
# timed bazaar
A flickering gateway to a bazaar

A glowing portal to a bazaar, where itinerant merchants gather to sell their
wares. They never stay in one place for very long.
%%%%
# permanent bazaar
A gateway to a bazaar

A glowing portal to a bazaar, where itinerant merchants gather to sell their
wares. They will wait for you, but once you get a chance to browse their
inventory, the merchants will depart in search of other customers.
%%%%
A frozen archway

A permanent cold front seems to surround this portal. Whatever lives on the
other side will be full of grim and arctic fury. You note that the archway is
melting away.
%%%%
A sand-covered staircase

You can make out a staircase leading downwards into a small tomb. Sand
surrounds the staircase and is continuously pouring onto it. Before long, the
staircase will be gone. They say that some distant relatives of the pharaohs
were entombed here.
%%%%
A glowing drain

A glowing drain entrance from which emanates the stench of excrement. It seems
to be rusting and clogging up fairly rapidly.
%%%%
A portal to a secret trove of treasure

A sumptuously worked golden gate that leads to a very rich trove of valuable
items. The price of entry is not low.
%%%%
A portal to a secret trove of treasure:quote

“‘Stop thief! Stop thief!’ There is a magic in the sound. The tradesman leaves
his counter, and the car-man his waggon; the butcher throws down his tray; the
baker his basket; the milkman his pail; the errand-boy his parcels; the
school-boy his marbles; the paviour his pickaxe; the child his battledore. Away
they run, pell-mell, helter-skelter, slap-dash: tearing, yelling, screaming,
knocking down the passengers as they turn the corners, rousing up the dogs, and
astonishing the fowls: and streets, squares, and courts, re-echo with the
sound.”
    -Charles Dickens, _Oliver Twist; or, The parish boy's progress_, ch. X.
1838.
%%%%
A dark tunnel

Leading directly into the rock is a dark and forbidding tunnel. Every so often,
air hot enough to singe your face blasts from within, and, as though triggered
by the air, rocks fall from the roof and sides of the tunnel, slowly filling
the entry.
%%%%
A magical portal

This portal has been left open by a careless wizard. It might lead to a secret
laboratory, but beware! Surely it will be guarded by magical traps and terrible
monsters. It seems to be slowly fading away.

# sprint_mu
An open sea?

Though it exists in stark defiance of every conventional rule of physics and
geometry you know to be true, there can be no denying that here, in this tiny
room, is a vast and terrible sea of impossible size.

Either that, or it's a blue wall.
