The lantern gives off its usual flickering yellow flame accompanied by a barely audible sputter as the oil is consumed. It appears unchanged.

Now that Dieter thinks on it, that is exactly what this area looks like. A backstage wing... which would make those strangely shaped stands of timbers props, and the lit area out there would be... a stage.

Dieter will reach out with the tip of his sword and push the curtains aside slightly, so as to look out onto the stage. What does he see?

Dieter peers out of the stage-left wing into a dazzling spot light which seems to be shining onto the 30ft wide 15ft deep stage from a large theater which he can scarcely discern beyond the dazzling brightness of the spot.

There is no movement to be seen, and the only sound is a low fizzing which seems to be coming from the theater itself. There is a fiercely horrid, chemical stench in the room, however. It gives even Dieter Ogre Slayer a moment's pause...

Okay. Dieter backs away from the curtain and rejoins his half of the party.

Mads the Fair

Looking around, Mads proffers "I was suggesting we burn this place down, retreat, and block the door." Shuddering, he withdraws with the rest of the group. "This place gives me the creeps."

"I'd prefer not to start setting fires just yet. Who knows what effect it may have one surface. Besides, we might destroy some nice treasures in the process."

Ulric pauses before heading back down the stairs.

"Whoever ran up here went somewhere, and I doubt it was in there." Ulric points toward the wall of curtains. "The walls here are covered in curtains. Let's see what's behind them."

Ulric starts to work his way around the curtain-covered walls, pulling them open with his sword.
