The western corridor from FEB 21 leads to this area. This room is 10 yards wide and 10 yards long. The area is lit by a single magical light on the center of the ceiling (no Darkness penalty in the middle 5 yard radius circle of the room, -3 Darkness penalty at the edges of the light).
This area has dull and scratched/dented metallic walls, floor and ceiling. Someone has been hoarding here – big stacks of crates and boxes are all along the walls, taking up a decent amount of space. The containers are filled with random and worthless bric-a-brac that’s broken or rusted. In the middle of the room, there is an elevator down to the next (March) floor. The elevator is a fancy mechanical contraption, built by gnomes and operated with a control panel of two buttons (up and down). The elevator’s space is a 5 by 5 yards metal square with guardrails. It takes the elevator 25 seconds to move between floors, and it is 15 yards of distance if one falls off or through the elevator somehow. Mana and Good Sanctity are both Normal here, Nature’s Strength is -4.
N/2 Golem-Armor Swordsman stand guard over this area, attacking anyone who tries to use the elevator or go through the northern door. If the adventurers leave the room the way they came, they will let them go without any further violence.
Someone left a bigger than normal electrum ring (worth $3410, weighs 0.3 lbs.) on the floor of the elevator, perhaps dropped as they were fleeing this floor or the next.
On the northern wall, there’s an unlocked standard door leading directly to another room.
