44
SECURE ROOM. The metal doors are sealed airtight. They are the type
with the wheel located on the center, but each has a metal pin on the
inside wheel, so treat them as barred doors.
The
walls are mirrors. A throne is in the middle of the room, with a
skeletal occupant.
The
mirrors that line the walls extend from the floor to the ceiling.
Every few minutes one of the mirrors will become a scrying device and
show one of the passages or rooms on this level in real time, thus
adventurers might see a group of vat men or other monsters come into
view. These images last for a few seconds to a minute in length.
The throne is made of metal and is on a swivel. The figure on the throne
is dressed in a white coat and black pants and turtleneck shirt.
Clinging to the head are long strands of white hair in the back, this
being the remains of Valerian Triskelion. His ornate belt is
actually a belt of protection +2 (like
the ring of the same name) and he carries a metal box holding
a score of index cards with holes punched in them. These index cards
are instructions that can be fed into the machine in Room 68 to
create vat creatures.
Two
hemispherical bumps are on the arm rest at hand level and touching
them will cause the scrying mirrors to react quickly, causing them to
show images in a dizzying way that will be sure to nauseate. If a
person of average intelligence or better sits in the throne (evicting
the incumbent) then they will be able to use the device, although it
will take hours (for genius level) to a week (for average
intelligence) of practice to use the device properly. In this way, adventurers may spy on the inhabitants of the level.
