Dwarven Golems and Old Ruins (GaryH judging)

  • The road from Orussus to Allimon fords a small stream that swells mightily during the spring.
  • Two days travel from Orussus on the road to Allimon lies a cave that is the entrance to the abandoned Dwarven city of Talley-oh. The path to the cave crosses the same stream that the road also fords about 3 miles from the road.
  • Two days travel from Orussus on the road to Allimon, forests lie near the road. There are snakes in those forests.
  • On the path to the cave, the narrowest ford is about 3 feet deep and 10 feet wide.
  • The stream that crosses the road to Allimon is a salmon stream, and bears inhabit the area.
  • The cave that is the entrance to Talley-oh lies about a mile past the stream crossing, or about 4 miles in all from the road.
  • There is a ditch, large enough to provide cover for an adventurer, a few hundred feet from the stream crossing near the cave that is the entrance to Talley-oh.
  • The cave entrance is on the far side of a small canyon.
  • The near side of the canyon has some sturdy repelling structures, though just walking to the shallower end of the canyon would take little time.
  • There may or may not be a rope ladder leading down to the entrance of the cave.
  • There is a college at Allimon.
  • The dwarven hub-city of Talley-oh is abandoned.
  • The entrance tunnel to Talley-oh slopes down at a 15 degree angle and runs for 8 miles. About quarter of a mile in lies a hollow bronze sphere 9 feet in diameter, halfway embedded in the ground.
  • The entrance tunnel to Talley-oh has irregular steps to confuse attackers.
  • Some system of boards was once used at the entrance tunnel to Tally-oh to allow wheeled vehicles to travel the tunnel. The boards have deteriorated.
  • Some distance down the entrance tunnel to Talley-oh are two 2.5 foot holes in the wall, across from each other. These are probably ventilation shafts.
  • Some way past the ventilation shafts, the tunnel to Talley-oh opens up slightly and is blocked by two bronze doors.
  • Underneath the bronze doors guarding the entrance to Talley-oh is a crank and winch arrangement for opening them.
  • Inside the gate to Talley-oh is a large room, perhaps 90 feet wide. Ramps head down to the left and right.
  • A hollow bronze sphere lies embedded in the ground in the passage to the left from the room behind the gates in the tunnel to Talley-oh.
  • A few thousand feet down the left tunnel from the room behind the gates to Talley-oh lies the entrance to a 5 foot wide corridor. 150 feet down this corridor are the charred remains of some barrels once stacked against one side of the passage.
  • At the end of a 150-foot side passage a few thousand feet inside the gates to Talley-oh, the corridor opens up into a room with levers, gears, chains, and bronze pipes on the walls. This is a control room that operates many of the mechanisms in the complex.
  • The chamber with the reservoir on the tunnel to Talley-oh is 200 feet in diameter, with several dwarven contraptions buried in the floor and a spherical illuminating device half buried in the wall.
  • The metal sphere buried in the wall of the reservoir room on the entrance tunnel to Talley-oh is about 3 meters in diameter, covered in creases that form a web on its surface, with 5 bronze pipes coming out of its base. Three of the pipes have hand cranks attached. From left to right the pipes are: crank labeled (in Dwarven) "Cool Aether", no crank, crank labeled "Siphoning", no crank, and crank labeled "Hot Aether". The sphere sounds hollow if struck, and reeks of magic.
  • About 8 hours west of the cave that is the entrance to Talley-oh is a small river.
  • Some distance (over a mile) south of the road from Orussus to Allimon lies a path leading to Allimon. A fallen bridge marks a crossing over a small river.
