Chapter 4

Which hall do you choose?

The Hall Of Rags

One hallway entrance is draped over with a large dirty white blanket of old cloth, torn at the bottom and right down the middle to pass through as a sort of flap or curtain. You push one side over to look within and find that the entire hallway is blanketed in layers apon layers of fabric. Stacks of fabric, hanging strips of silk, and thick pilers of white cloth cover the walls, ceiling, and floor. Only a few metal poles with mage light orbs at the top dimly light the hallway, making it very hard to see five feet in front of you. The floors and walls are covered in multiple layers over each other while the ceiling is decorated with one layer of white fabric and long cuts of cloth hanging down like the strings of a beed door.

You think that someone might be using this to hide something, covering it with cloths and rags to keep it out of sight. Could be worth the look. You head inside, getting a creepy vibe from all the dirty white fabrics draped over all surfaces. Like something from a psycho killer's nightmare or secret **** room. You pass through the cloths as the strips brush over your shoulders and head, increasing the goosebumps and making you occasionally think something is touching you from behind. You keep heading deeper inside until you find a large kinda bedroom chamber. The walls are covered in a thick layers of red fabric and a queen sized mattress with heavy round dark red curtains and a dark brown base stripe around it, surrounding the mattress for privacy. The entire bed sits just opposite of the chamber, pushed against the wall and looking clean and pristine as if for some low level royalty to call theirs. Old, short, hard wood dressers sit to the sides of the chamber with various objects, cloths, and items layed on top for display, all of them made of fabrics of every shade of red and brown. Dim balls of yellow morning mage light float about the air like fireflies and make the chamber slightly brighter then the hallways as they circle around a brass chandelier as if it is their hive.

There are two thin hallways in the room about half the size of the one you entered. One to the left and the other to the right. The left is lined with green and white cloths while the right is lined with black and dark blue fabrics. You could look in the bed or browse the objects on the dressers. Or you could go down one of the hallways.

What do you do?
