Gallery Entryway is a room. "Looking up you read the sign with the simple words 'Gallery' stenciled in powdered steel. The entryway is elliptical in shape, towering roughly two stories above ground level. You stand, between two active marble fountains with the black and empty backdrop of the parking lot behind you. Warm rays of a setting sun bathe your skin with bright tones of yellow and orange, casting long and deep shadows. A soft breeze picks up just then, as if urging you towards the doors. Directly North is the Gallery entryway, tucked underneath the statuesque overhang. Beyond the glare of glass panes you see the lobby, sparsely decorated and overlooked by a lone guard seated at a large oval desk. Though his poise is stoic, the overall picture is somewhat inviting North - Gallery Lobby" Gallery Lobby is north of Gallery Entryway. "The double doors close quietly behind you. Looking up momentarily, the guard nods, acknowledging your presence but beyond that pays you little heed. You find yourself within a grand chamber. Polished wood beams stretch skyward, pushing against large panes of glass. Sunshine seems to be the only source of light currently available, reflecting from the marble floors with diminishing vigor. Beyond the lobby, dark hallways stretch North, East and West; cryptic and sinister" Northern Wing is north of Gallery lobby. "Curved stone supports run along the walls of this narrow dark hallway. Akin to the rest of the gallery, this area is dimly lit. High hanging windows dot the walls to the east while along the western walls, gold framed paintings appear every few feet. At the end of the hall, a set of large double doors looms ominously, partially open, emitting a crack of blue light" Paintings is scenery in Northern Wing. "Nude female and male bodies against a backdrop of dark maroon. The medium appears to be oil on wood panel. Notably, the faces of every subject appears blank" Gallery North is north of Northern Wing. "Heavy double doors swing open slowly as if sensing your approach, bathing the hallway in ambient blue light. You enter. The room is octagonal in shape and rimmed with statues; rough humanoid shapes made of clay with little or no discernible features. At the center of the room sits a cylindrical dais. A closed cubic chest rests on top" Ornate Chest is scenery in Gallery North. It is a closed openable container. It is locked and lockable. "Masterfully crafted, sanded and gold bound, the square chest lies before you; closed and locked" Ornate Mask is in Ornate Chest. "An opera-esque mask complete with a holding stem studded with rubies and sapphires. The expression is one of joy, akin to your reaction upon discovering this priceless treasure" After taking Ornate Mask: say "Despite moral issues with theft, you take this priceless trophy, you may never have to work again as long as you live"; end the game in victory. Ornate Key unlocks Ornate Chest. Eastern Wing is east of Gallery Lobby. "High ceilings and walls lead to an open square room roughly thirty feet ahead. Covered in painted trees with the orange glow of sunset peering through, the Eastern Wing conveys the feeling of open space despite limited dimensions. Somewhere above you, lost in the dark recesses of high vaulted ceilings, speakers exhale sounds of the woods" Gallery East is east of Eastern Wing "Constructed to appear as a shed, this room is not much wider than the hallway. A small fire catches your attention right away, the only light source in the otherwise darkened shed. High above spin the blades of ventilation fans. Most of the shed is empty save for a bucket of water" Small fire is scenery in Gallery East. "A hot crackling flame fills the room with light and heat. Within the heart of the flame is a dark object" Bucket is in Gallery East. Bucket is an object. "Before you is a plastic bucket, volumetrically two gallons, filled to the brim with dirty water" Western Wing is west of Gallery Lobby. "Large concrete stairs lead downward into a dimly lit room. The Western Wing is square in design, boasting plain utilitarian walls. The grinding of metal can be heard" Gallery West is west of Western Wing. "Dangling just above your head are thousands of uncut keys, dangling from clear fishing wire. Dull in color and numerous, one particular key stands out, ornate and notched for persumable use" Ornate Key is in Gallery West. "Large and notched, the gold carved key is studded with jewels and has the appearance of a skull, giving 'skeleton key' an almost literal intrepretation"
