Outside the Gate to Hades~
You see before you a flaming, seven story gate. The flames leap out at you
as you stare in awe at this gate. Smoke flows out from the flames forming
words before you:
THOSE WHO ENTER NEVER RETURN - BEWARE

Small shivers go down your spine as you see these words form in front of you.
You wonder what lies beyond. You can see barren plains to the east and west, a
and the scent of stagnant water ahead.

Inside the Gate to Hades~
You stand on the other side of the 7 story flaming gate. The flames don't
seem to leap out this direction, they only seem to leap to the other side.
On this side of the gate, the gate just seems to be charred. A feeling of
despair enters you as you stand here. You almost feel as though you have
died. The ground is covered with skulls and bones randomly around the
area. Many of them are crushed and are merely fragments of the whole piece.
The scent of stagnant water is to the north.

The Shoreline~
You stand on a rocky shore, a dead tree stands near the shore and upon it
rests a small horn. A heavy mist covers the water about 5 feet out, but
you can still see the black swirls of water right in front of you. Nothing
seems to move much. You can't even hear any sounds except for the slight 
wind that blows through the dead tree's branches.

On the River of Despair~
The black waters swirl beneath you until they are swallowed by the dense
erie fog that surrounds your whole world. You get a feeling that you are 
being watched. When you look into the water all you see is a small motion
underneath the surface, but aren't able to tell what the movement is from.

Whirlpool on the River of Despair~
Experience has no meaning now since you never used any of it that you learned.
Maybe as you start again you will use it.
You have hit a giant whirlpool that sucks you under and steals away your life
force.

The Shoreline - Skull Room~
You stand on a rocky shore, skulls lie in huge piles forming an actual
walkway for you to walk in between the walls. Great arches lie built from
ribs and femurs, the artwork is amazing except for the fact it is built

is made of a deep black glossy tile. And there is a sense of something
