Fortress of Decay, West Wall
R1: West Gate. Theme: lair of the apprentice.
(o) A gap in the crumbling cyclopean walls, between the legs of a colossal statue of a beautiful man. Vast metal doors close the gap. There are marble arches on the city side, leading into the back of the statue's legs and up stairs within.
(!) Lesser ghoul sorcerer and his followers are encamped in the colossus.
(?) Doors are barred from the inside with a huge metal rod.
R2: Colossus Gatehouse
Visibility poor (dim). An evil smell.
(!) Lair of the sorcerer's comitatus, ghoul soldiers with hatchets and crossbows.
(o) A large room inside the body of the colossus, connected by spiral stairs in the legs. An exposed central stair goes to the viewing platform in the head. Arrow slits face forward and back.
(?) Walls are covered with dark stains; floor is littered with refuse.
(??) A pile of hoarded trinkets in one corner -- bits of bone, broken costume jewellery, human hair, plus a single sword in good condition.
R3: The Head
(!) Study of the apprentice sorcerer, armed with an insect talisman.
(o) Inside walls of the head are covered in runic graffiti. It's eyes give a good view of the area outside the gate. Hardwood desk and chair with dark stains, littered with odd trinkets.
(??) Wax tablet with a spell scrawled on it, and a vial of adder venom, on the desk.
R4: Imperial Trunk Road, West
(o) Broad, empty boulevard lined with dead plane trees, from which hang gibbets loaded with sun-bleached skin and bone.
