| 153 Standing more than 3 man lengths high the double doors that bar your way to the east are massive. Made of solid timber bound by thick iron bars, the wood is highly polished and slick to the touch. In the stone surrounding the doors there has been carved an ornate but gruesome story of the last day of Morgen Orncryst. Upon the keystone above both doors is a carved relief of a large dragon. The Dwarvendim script below the keystone is characteristically direct. If you enter, it says, you will die. A quick test shows the doors to be securely locked and it will be impossible to force them open. The distant sounds of another approaching patrol spurs you on to search for some method of entry. Luckily it proves easy to find. About one arm-length from the door is a small metal plate. Pushing the plate lightly you hear the sounds of weights and pulleys begin to move within the walls. Slowly and ponderously the massive doors swing open.
