Description summary:
The title and description depend on
Sixth Coil: Locales. There is also an additional paragraph whose presence and text depend on your
Coiling Ever Deeper.
| Title | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 – 19 | Leatherbound Study | The walls, the floor, the desk, even the bodies of the pens – it's all been covered in […] skin […] worked with such loving care that the grain of the leather runs in the same direction across the whole room. The stacks of paper […] are, of course, vellum. |
| 20 – 29 | Ink Repository | The walls […] each hold […] little glass bottles. There's a whole section dedicated to different shades of black. Another where all the inks are the colour of blood – in different states of drying out, ranging from vibrant crimson to dull brown. |
| 30 – 39 | Door Storage | A facility for building more of this maze? Here, stored in purpose-built scaffolds of pine slats, are doors. […] cheap doors and expensive doors. Sliding paper doors in the Japanese style. A range of folding doors – two, three, four, or even five leaves. |
| 40 – 49 | Optical Gallery | More of a workshop, really. Telescopes and microscopes jumbled on shelves. A small watchmaker's lathe for making brass fittings. A grinder for making lenses. […] piles of glass blanks, […] waiting to be shaped. |
| 50 – 69 | Glim-Mosaic Library | This room is illuminated from every direction; shards of glim are encrusted in […] a glowing mosaic. In this context, you can see the subtle distinction in colour from one piece of glim to the next: turquoise, aquamarine, chartreuse, teal, apocyan... |
| 70 – 89 | Tattooed Office | Slanted writing desks with inkwells; wood-panelled walls. There are patterns on the furniture, patterns on the walls – drawings in black ink. Chess pieces. Tarot cards. Abstract signs and symbols. |
| 90 – 100 | Circular Observatory | This room is dominated by a large telescope – an intricate construction of brass and mirrors, pointed up at the Roof. Look through it, and you can see a formation of False-Stars arrayed in a spiral. |
| Second Paragraph | |
|---|---|
| 5 – 9 | There's a scent of ozone in the air. |
| 10 – 14 | All your hairs are standing on end. The air here is charged with static. |
| 15+ | Static electricity crackles as you move, sending little jolts through your skin. |
