[QUOTE="talien, post: 2089421, member: 3285"] [b]Drinking Deeply from the Chalice of Midnight - Part 3a: Gallery[/b] Beyond the double doors was the keep proper, with a stairwell in the center that led up and down the length of the tower. Divans, chairs, and small tables were everywhere. Rich and luxurious tapestries stood in mute testament of their master’s might. Quintus crouched with his spear out. “Be careful, it’s likely the place is trapped.” Ilmarė walked over to a mural on the western side of the gallery, hands on hips. “That’s interesting,” she said. “What?” asked Quintus. “In the tapestries, the Devil Prince is holding a very ornate lyre in his left hand in every scene.” “So?” asked Vlad. “He always seems to have his finger poised on the fourth string from the left.” “I didn’t know you were familiar with the lyre,” Quintus said, one eyebrow raised. “There’s a lot of things you don’t know about me,” Ilmarė said with the slightest hint of a smile. “But look at the mural here.” The mural was of the same dread lord standing upon the carcass of a massive dragon, his shining blade stuck deep into the mythic beast while his head was thrown up to the heavens. He played a lyre in his hands. “Why are we looking at artwork again?” asked Quintus. “There could be guards—“ Ilmarė huffed and walked over to the mural. The Elorii turned to stare at Quintus as she pushed on the fourth string of the lyre on the mural. Sure enough, a soft grinding sound revealed a doorway in the northwestern portion of the mural. Ilmarė put both palms up and smiled. Then she gestured at the doorway. ”Well, go on. I found the door, so the least you can do is check it out.” “Makes sense,” said Vlad. “If I were a devil lord, I’d hide a magic chalice behind a secret door.” After shooting Vlad a glare, Quintus stepped through the secret door into the room beyond.
