Entrance to Hell
Entrance to the Pits
The entrance to the old Dwarven
mine shafts is guarded full time by a platoon of halberdiers.
Should any chaos creature get past them, there are several loaded
cannon aimed at the entrance. These are maned full time by men
with torches. The idea is that after fighting through an entire
platoon of halberd wielding soldiers, the cannon will have plenty of
time to be fired. Hopefully collapsing the entrance itself.
The few teams that return from the pits
on successful mission, or with prisoners, are guarded and searched in
the courtyard by Chaos Embassy soldier. Devices are used to
search them for mithril
and magical devices. Any such found are confiscated and locked
into solid iron boxes. The teams' information is taken down,
and any prisoners brought are paid for. After the stuff in the
boxes has been sent to the Hall of Elven Magic, and treated for
curses, traps, and possession, they will be returned to the team.
This typically takes one week. In the event of a major artifact
it will take a Month, as the wizard's guild will want to study it in
detail.
