Rooms

  You have entered a powerful Mage's lair.  Mystical bottles of things sit

on shelves.  There is a cauldron over a fire here.  This is the only room

that looks recently lived in.  As you inch closer to the fire place, you can

feel heat coming from still-glowing embers.  Spellbooks are piled

everywhere.  A staff with an odd crystal lies in the corner.  This room is

spartan in its decoration, but it seems very practical for its inhabitant. 

You wonder how long this wizard will be gone, maybe hours.  Or maybe he just

stepped out to gather a new spell component.
