The levers all look pretty normal. Someone has coated them with a dye
that has each a different color: red, blue and green.
Bleys just tried to kick the lever!
>
Krisenfest went through an airlock.
>
You see a hatch shut!
>
Bleys pulls the red lever and you hear the sound of valves opening and
closing but nothing else.
>
Bleys pushes the button, but nothing seems to happen.

Kenner asks, "Push and pull the red one again?"

You see nothing unusual.
It is closed.

Kenner accepts Bleys's brown substance.
Ok, it opened.

BONK! You smash your nose.

Kenner went through an airlock.

Bazil asks, "but what kind of steam?"
>
Ok, it opened.
>
[Dragon, Nose]
It may be a tight fit, but you have managed to squeeze into the nose
section of the Dragon. Two giant pipes run from the head down to the
base of the nose and appear to part of its nostrils. There seems to
be some kind of valve at the base with a hefty chain dangling from its
lever. You also see a hatch.
Also in the room: Lord Orlando.
Obvious exits: none.
>
Orlando says, "sorry"
>
Orlando says, "trying stuff with it closed"
>
You chuckle.
>
Orlando just tickled you.
>
You hear Bleys's voice echoing through a pipe, "pulling red in 10 sec
Kenner....drop it in"
You say, "okie"
>
[Dragon, Head]
You are in what is obviously the Dragon's head. This cramped room is
moulded into the shape of a large seat facing forward. In front of
the seat is a metallic panel displaying several levers organized in
groups. Two giant, round windows (the Dragon's eye when seen from the
outside) provide a compelling view. Two large pipes lead down through
the floor directly alongside a small hatch. You also see a flared
opening, what appears to be some kind of log attached by a wire to the
panel and an airlock.
Also in the room: Lord Bleys who is seated, Lord Bazil.
Obvious exits: none.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
[Lower Kaldsfang, Clearing]
You come upon the northern edge of the clearing. Dense underbrush and
closely-spaced pines made progress northward something you would
rather not contemplate. The shadowy presence of the black obsidian
dome dominates your view, even here. The area also is the
northernmost outpost of the cluster of huts, with one lying to the
side of the path's end.
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest.
Apparently the dragon is facing west.

[Dragon, Forward Spine]
This room is high but almost all the space above your head is crammed
with pipes, wires, tubes and contraptions that converge here. The
snakelike coils and cables leading into the eastern wall of the room
give off a crackling and a bluish glow. As you near them, your skin
tingles and your hair stands on end. You also see an airlock.
Obvious exits: west.
>
[Dragon, Spine]
This is a narrow catwalk, open on the sides, leading north and south.
There is nothing to prevent you from falling into the darkness below
should you lose your footing on the metal walkway. Looking up for a
dizzying moment, your eye follows thick bunches of tubes wires and
cables running between rooms to the east and west.
Obvious exits: north, south, east, west.
>
[Dragon, Aft Spine]
You are forced to make your way along the walls here, since the main
part in the center of the floor is occupied by two large pipes. They
rise vertically up from the room beneath, and bend at a sharp angle,
running along the ribbed roof through the eastern wall. Gurgling,
whooshing noises indicate some activity in the room below and within
the conduits.
Obvious exits: east.

[Dragon, Starboard Wing-Shoulder]
This is the south end of a long catwalk. It has a low railing and juts
out as though it were some sort of observation platform. Arcane
gauges and instruments are clamped to the railing at different points,
but they yield no decipherable information. High above, pistons,
cylinders and solid iron rods intersect. You also see a ladder.
Obvious exits: north.
>
You see a strut suddenly move forward.
>
I could not find what you were referring to.
>
There is nothing there to read.
>
The gauge has markings on it in an unknown script, with a needle
fluctuating wildly around its dial.
>
You see a strut suddenly move forward.
>
You will have to climb that.
>
[Dragon, Starboard Bowels]
A ladder here leads up to an overhanging metal platform. Pools of
black muck swirl around your feet and slosh up against the legs of the
ladder. You wade slowly through the slime, trying not to splatter
yourself with it.

[Dragon, Starboard Forequarter]
Intermittant clatterings, grumblings and bangings echo through this
high vertical chamber, coming from the north. The rounded walls seem
to pulsate and waver, straining under the effort to contain great
energies. The tinny sound of liquid splashing against metal comes
from the west.
Obvious exits: north, west, southeast.

[Dragon, Deep Within]
You are at the bottom of the long gullet of the interior hulk of the
dragon. A metallic plate, like the flap of an esophagus, juts out and
provides safe footing. Peering over it, you see an eerie blue glow
that permeates the entire structure through the murkiness below. You
also see a shaft.
Obvious exits: south, west, down.
>
[Dragon, Forebelly]
The walls and floor here are grooved, deeply etched into the metallic
plates in a regular crosshatched pattern. The surface is pitted, with
greenish flecks, as though corroded by some strong chemical or acid.
You also see an isinglass door.
Obvious exits: up.

[Dragon, Seed Room]
This room is dark, the air here moist and warm. Yet the sense of
suffocation you feel seems caused more by fear and loathing than
discomfort. There is no cold blue glow, nor any sort of light in the
chamber. Two isinglass doors on each end of the chamber keep in the
warmth and permit a faint illumination to fall upon a raised mound in
the middle of the concave floor. You also see a dark pod.
Also in the room: Lord Orlando.
Obvious exits: east, west.
>
A sickening feeling overcomes you as you stare at the ugly pod.
>
Orlando sings:
"Ugly pod that keeps trying to kill me
please let us by..so we can get on with this!!"
>
One of the tentacles suddenly snaps taut, trying to strike you!
Fortunately you manage to dodge out of the way.
>
Orlando says, "grrr"

Orlando exclaims, "see!"

You sing:
"Rock a bye pod, on a big mound"

You are suffering from a bit of nausea while standing here.

Orlando tries to move towards the pod but stumbles back looking

You try to scoot past the pod, but are assaulted by a strong aura of

Orlando shrugs.

You take a drink from your frosty pink lemonade.
Nice.

[Dragon, Deep Within]
You are at the bottom of the long gullet of the interior hulk of the
dragon. A metallic plate, like the flap of an esophagus, juts out and
provides safe footing. Peering over it, you see an eerie blue glow
that permeates the entire structure through the murkiness below. You
also see the Marc disk, the Kaikeyi disk and a shaft.

[Dragon, Stomach]
You come upon the source of the noxious fumes that fill this hideous
mechanical beast. The air shimmers with waves of heat and escaping
gases. Dead center in the room, towers a massive iron cauldron,
glowing orange with the heat of the fire beneath it. Over it is a
brass hood that traps most of the gas, siphoning it off westward
through large pipes.

[Dragon, Bladder]
A maze of pipes, bent into impossible angles and coils, enters this
room from the eastern wall. Hissing and knocking sounds from inside
and beads of condensation on the outside indicate the passage of
something volatile, hot and under great pressure. The wide ducts
empty into a broad metal base over which is secured an immense
bladder, once the skin of some gigantic living creature. Patched and
mended in numerous spots, it is still air and water tight.
Obvious exits: south, east.

[Dragon, Starboard Hindquarter]
Cams amd rods and levers protrude from the smooth, curved metal walls
here. They consist of finely tooled plates formed in perfect arcs,
joined seamlessly with cleverly hidden hinges. It is obvious some
highly advanced, now lost technology had a hand in creating all this.
Obvious exits: north, southwest.
>
[Dragon, Starboard Hindleg]
As you enter this room and are confronted by strange and unknown
machinery, you once again get the same, fleeting sensation you have
felt before during your journey through the dragon. Some insight, as
though willed by a force from outside yourself, allows you to realize
that the contraption before you is some sort of working condenser.
Also in the room: Lord Bleys.
Obvious exits: northeast.
>
You push the button to start the condenser. With a low grinding noise,
the condenser forces its mechanism into motion, winning its battle
with the cold for the moment.
Vapor forming around the pipes settles towards the ground as the
machine cools.
>
Bleys says, "dont"
>
Bleys says, "Its thawing"
>
Ice begins to solidify around the pipe connections.

You say, "oh"

You feel uneasy as you enter this elongated chamber. Vague rumbling

a deep storage bin to one side.

[Dragon, Bladder]
A maze of pipes, bent into impossible angles and coils, enters this
room from the eastern wall. Hissing and knocking sounds from inside
and beads of condensation on the outside indicate the passage of
something volatile, hot and under great pressure. The wide ducts
empty into a broad metal base over which is secured an immense
bladder, once the skin of some gigantic living creature. Patched and
mended in numerous spots, it is still air and water tight.
Also in the room: Lord Geoff, Lord Krisenfest.
Obvious exits: south, east.

[Dragon, Stomach]
You come upon the source of the noxious fumes that fill this hideous
mechanical beast. The air shimmers with waves of heat and escaping
gases. Dead center in the room, towers a massive iron cauldron,
glowing orange with the heat of the fire beneath it. Over it is a
brass hood that traps most of the gas, siphoning it off westward
through large pipes.
Also in the room: Lord Geoff, Lord Krisenfest.

The cauldron is a large metallic pot, much like those used to boil
those who disobey. Above the cauldron is a large, brass fume collector
which appears to be funneling the output of the cauldron through a
large pipe to the room to the west. The cauldron appears to hold only
some boiling water.

[Dragon, Port Bowels]
Looking up, you see a vast empty space, ending in the great arced roof
that forms the interior of the dragon's back. Metallic struts arch
and join at the midpoint high overhead. Just before you stands a
large, thick-walled glass tank. From within it, you hear faint
scratching and snuffling noises. You also see a ladder.

[Dragon, Port Forequarter]
The domed ceiling of this chamber emits the same eerie blue glow that
bathes the entire innards of the great artificial behemoth. High
overhead and along the north wall, twisted masses of pipes, lengths of
wirewound cables, pulleys and sawtoothed gears connect to each other
in patterns so complex you cannot follow them. You squint in the pale
light and continue onward. You also see the Kaikeyi disk and the Marc
disk.

[Dragon, Port Foreleg]
This cylindrical room is smaller and longer than those in the main body
of the dragon, yet still affords room to stand upright. As you
investigate, the passage tapers off, narrowing down. At the end of
the room the temperature rises and you realize the cause is a small
heater before you. You also see a yellow substance.

[Dragon, Port Wing-Shoulder]
The catwalk ends here abruptly, no railing at its conclusion. Your
pace brings you right to the edge, and you catch your next footstep in
mid-air, just before your momentum can plunge you forward and down
into the depths. Heart still pounding, you collect your thoughts and
ponder your next move from this high metallic perch. Looking down,
you see a large tank in the center of the room below. You also see a
ladder.

This is a narrow catwalk, open on the sides, leading north and south.
There is nothing to prevent you from falling into the darkness below

dizzying moment, your eye follows thick bunches of tubes wires and
cables running between rooms to the east and west.

[Dragon, Aft Spine]
You are forced to make your way along the walls here, since the main
part in the center of the floor is occupied by two large pipes. They
rise vertically up from the room beneath, and bend at a sharp angle,
running along the ribbed roof through the eastern wall. Gurgling,
whooshing noises indicate some activity in the room below and within
the conduits.

[Dragon, Forward Spine]
This room is high but almost all the space above your head is crammed
with pipes, wires, tubes and contraptions that converge here. The
snakelike coils and cables leading into the eastern wall of the room
give off a crackling and a bluish glow. As you near them, your skin
tingles and your hair stands on end. You also see an airlock.
Obvious exits: west.

[Dragon, Head]
You are in what is obviously the Dragon's head. This cramped room is
moulded into the shape of a large seat facing forward. In front of
the seat is a metallic panel displaying several levers organized in
groups. Two giant, round windows (the Dragon's eye when seen from the
outside) provide a compelling view. Two large pipes lead down through
the floor directly alongside a small hatch. You also see the Kaikeyi
disk, the Marc disk, a flared opening, what appears to be some kind of
log attached by a wire to the panel and an airlock.
Also in the room: Lord Kenner who is seated, Lord Dvalin, Lord Marc,
Lady Kaikeyi, Lord Bleys, Lord Bazil, Lord Nixie.

Kenner pulls the red lever and there is the sound of explosive steam
releases throughout the dragon! You feel a little unsteady as the
floor bucks and shudders. Suddenly the entire dragon heaves upwards,
almost causing you to vomit! Looking out the window you can see the
dragon appears to have moved into a sitting position. You can see
that its wings have extended to either side as if ready to fly.

Kenner pulls the green lever and there are some straining noises.
Through the window you see the ground begin to move downwards. The
room sways a little. A giant whump-thump marks the movement of the
dragon's huge wings as it strains to keep the contraption balanced.
Soon the features of the land become tiny and the blue sky prevails.
Soft clouds are within arm's reach as the dragon-machine floats by
with its beating wings. In several directions you can see the
vaporous distortions of Essence flows which criss-cross in chaotic
patterns at this altitude, making some directions of travel
impossible.

The dragon begins to move forward but then slows to a stop. Looking
out you see the beast has nestled up against a churning flow of
essence.
It seems the dragon is losing altitude.

Kenner says, "You can try :)"

Dvalin came through a hatch.
Kenner pulls the blue lever and you hear some grinding noises deep
within the dragon.
Slowly the dragon begins to turn to port.

[Lower Kaldsfang, Clearing]
You come upon the northern edge of the clearing. Dense underbrush and
closely-spaced pines made progress northward something you would
rather not contemplate. The shadowy presence of the black obsidian
dome dominates your view, even here. The area also is the
northernmost outpost of the cluster of huts, with one lying to the
side of the path's end.
Obvious paths: southeast, southwest.
Apparently the dragon is facing west.
