The curving WALLS of the room are immediately
noticeable as
different from all others in the stronghold,
not only due to their
layout, but also because of their covering.
The walls are covered
with vertical strips of rough-finished
fir wood, and these
narrow planks run in single pieces from
floor to ceiling. The
construction is not remarkable nor is it
fancy in any respect,
but the result is strikingly pleasing to
the eye. If any of the
wood is removed from the wall, nothing
save back bracing
and the rock surface wall will be discovered.
In each of the 4 curved corners of the room
is a different
wall hanging. These tapestries are each
6' wide and approximately
8' high. The 4 subjects depicted are:
a dragon being
slain by a group of warriors, with 1 standing
prominently
at the front of the group, thrusting the
killing sword into the
dragon's neck;
a great battle in a mountain pass, with a
small band of fighters led by a great Wizard
and a single
Hero putting an entire army to fight;
a warrior and a maiden
on horseback
against a backdrop of mountains, holding
hands with joyful expressions;
and a depiction of a Hero and
a Wizard joining in a firm handclasp on
a deserted hilltop,
with only a sunset in the background.
The principals in all of
these panoramas, of course, as well as
the tapestry in room
26, are the same—the
Warrior/Hero is Rogahn, the Wizard is
Zelligar, and the beautiful maiden is the
Fair Melissa, Rogahn's
mistress. The tapestries, if removed, will
be heavy
(equal to 600 g.p. in weight each) and
bulky; they are worth
100 g.p. each. <60# each, worth 20
pp each>
Opposite the secret
door on the West wall is a bed which is
made of maple, with a feather mattress.
The baseboard has
an engraved letter R on it, but the bed
is otherwise devoid of
particular detail.
A free-standing cabinet of wood matching the bed is alongside
it. Inside are some garments of general
USE: cloaks, a
leather vest, a buckskin shirt, a metal
corselet, etc., as well as <etc = robe, blouse, linen (undershirt),
linen (undershirt)>
a pair of <high soft> boots. None is
of any exceptional value.
A wooden stool is near the cabinet, but
there is no other furniture
in the room.
