For the duration of the module this magical doorway will be erected in the building where the auction will take place.    This building will be a large stone and oak structure that was formally used as a warehouse.   It is located in a part of the city, where an entire city block that contained several warehouses that Kindor has now razed for the land to build the hospital on.   The only buildings retained were this well constructed warehouse in the southeastern corner of this block and its adjacent barn in the southwestern corn, as these buildings were in good physical condition.  He plans to use the warehouse building as a carriage house for Medical Wagons (ambulances).   This warehouse building is 80x120 feet, with the majority of it being a single 80x100 room with a high ceiling.  All of the spacious windows in this room are high above, starting ten feet above the floor, to allow a great deal of light inside while still allowing privacy inside.   Four barn-type double doors are along the longer south side of the building, with driveways out to the main street.    There are also barn-type doors on the western wall, with fencing outside that lead directly to the barn.   The eastern wall of the building has the front door followed by two stories of rooms running 80x20 feet and a staircase leading up to the second floor hallway.   It is on this second floor that the doorway to Kulp’s Comfortable Castle will be situated.  The Silver Moon will have a week to get the warehouse building cleaned up and furnished for the auction.  He will allow them to borrow any furnishings they wish from his castle, but will not allow anybody except them to enter his castle to get this furniture.  This is for two reasons.  First, Melito does not want any members of the ILA to infiltrate Kindor’s home.  Second, as an added security precaution Colonel Tenbar of the Jawlt Army has managed to sneak most of his forces into the city, and they are now secretly marshalling behind the walled in grounds of the Lordholder’s castle.</blockquote>
