The Master Necromancer's Chamber
   The stench of chemicals and solvents almost chokes you and makes it
extremely difficult to breathe. Various body parts lie on tables around the
room, and cadavers of beings from both the prime and astral plane stand
against the east wall, waiting for the master's attention. The room itself
is made of pitch black rock that lacks any color, giving the impression that
the room is much larger than it really is. Along the north wall lies a large
table that the master necromancer uses for embalming his victims. Along the
south wall is a table which contains various chemicals and solvents that the
master necromancer uses in his dark arts.

You attempt to flee...
Outside the Master Necromancer's Chambers
   The stench of chemicals here is almost overpowering. Low groaning sounds
can be heard from above, as the master necromancer works on this latest
creation. The room itself is made up of black rock, much like the rest of the
fortress, but it lacks the specks of color the rest of the rock has. The rock
itself is pitch black, and almost seems as though it doesn't exist. Along the
west wall is a staircase that leads upwards towards the master's chambers, and
downwards towards the foyer of the guild.

The Foyer in the Necromancer Guild
   The pitch black rock that this room is made up of is the same as the rest
of the fortress. However, the specks are a dark shade of grey, and appear to
shimmer for a moment, then die down. The stench of chemicals and solvents is
strong here. A large staircase lies along the western wall, and leads upwards
into the tower. To the east lies the street, which leads north into the fortress.

Outside the Necromancer Guild
   The street here has been worn smooth from many centuries of travel. The
road is made up of pitch black rock, much like the rest of the tower, but it
lacks the white specks in it that the rest of the rock does. To the west lies
the tower that houses the Necromancer Guild. The tower itself stands about
fifty feet tall, and is made up of a black rock, with blue specks in it. The
street continues to the north to the courtyard, the Sorcerer, and Psionicist
guilds and south to the Bard guild.

the tower that houses the Bard Guild.  The tower itself stands about fifty feet
tall, and is made up of a black rock with purple specks in it. South is the
reaver tower, which appears to be made up of mindstones set with pure
amethyst jewels, with blocks that have the same smokey hue as all other
material on the astral plane. The streetcontinues to the north towards the

The Foyer of the Reaver Guild
   The pitch black rock that this room is made up of is the same as the rest
of the fortress. However, the specks are a rich shade of purple, and appear
to shimmer for a moment, before fading once more.  The sounds of clashing
swords echo from the stairway, accompanied by the occasional flash of a
powerful magic spell.  A well-worn staircase lies along the west wall of the
room, leading up into the tower while to the north lies the street that leads
north into the fortress.

A Large Courtyard in the Githyanki Fortress
   The ground all around this large courtyard has magical runes inscribed
deeply into the stone to help protect the Githyanki from any magical attacks.
The runes look to be as old as the Githyanki themselves, but their appearance
is as if they were made just this day. A large fountain stands in the middle
of the courtyard, and next to it stands a massive statue of Gith, the leader
of the Githyanki in their rebellion against their Illithid masters.

A Small Street Through the Githyanki Fortress
  The street here is broad, allowing for many people to gather and as well
to allow for large Githyanki raiding parties to form up and make plans. In
the middle of the street is a large pole, and atop of the pole is the corpse
of an Illithid that has been skewered through its midsection. To the north
of the street a prison of some sort can be seen.

A Narrow Street in the Githyanki Fortress
   The street here is narrow and cramped, obviously as a tactical point
inside the fortress. Two walls to the north and south stand thirty feet tall,
and a solid stone roof covers the street here. Further to the west a fountain
can be seen, along with a statue. To the north and south of the street stand
towers where Githyanki lords and commoners dwell. To your east two massive
iron gates that guard the entrance of the fortress can be seen.

Before a Pair of Iron Gates
  You see before you a pair of massive iron gates that close off the entrance
into the Githyanki fortress. The gates themselves are made up of black iron
and have strange and mystical writings on them that are older than anyone
can remember. Above the gates is a bas relief of Gith the leader of the
Githyanki in her struggle against the Illithid. To the north and south
stands a thirty foot high wall to keep intruders out. Spaced approximately
ten feet apart stand Githyanki Knights and Warriors that scan the
astral plane for invaders.

The Killing Fields
   This large muddy expanse of ground is littered with bones, corpses,
dead trees, and large stones, giving it a very horrifying appearance.
Literally hundreds of humanoid tracks can be seen imprinted in the mud,
indicating that this area is frequented regularly.  A thick obscuring
fog blankets the field, hiding whatever horrors may be lurking about in
the shadows, though many shrieks and groans can be heard.  It is obvious
from the absolute carnage presented here, that many an unfortunate animal

Road Through the Killing Fields
   The road if it can be called that is covered in mud and made up of 10 foot
long beams of wood spaced horizontally one the ground approximately 5 inches
apart.  There are small trenches made from wagon wheels in the mud between
the beams, a sure sign of a well used road.  There is a small wooden sign stuck
in the mud here.  A thick fog blankets the road, masking the horrors that
surround it on either side, accept for the occasional shrieks and groans from
the surrounding area all is quiet.  A road continues to the north through
the troll hills and this mud covered road leads south deeper into the killing
fields.

That last attack was particularly invasive, and you feel your collective wisdom decrease.
As your body is consumed with pain, pain, and more pain, you briefly go to that 'happy place' inside.
Your dark black robe shattered in bits as the tortured body spasms and quivers!
