The Gorreven Papers — 10 of 23

Section 9 - The Second Level

The Elevator Alcove is a room. "A fresh-smelling, well-lit, carpeted hallway that continues to the east."

The Closet Hall is east of the Elevator Alcove. "You're standing in a carpeted hallway that has a janitor's closet to the south and a wide office door to the north, with the name 'Commandant Velchny' stenciled on the door. The hallway continues to the west."

Every turn when the player is in the Closet Hall:

if a random chance of 1 in 4 succeeds:

say "A cockroach scuttles under the closet door."

The Janitor's Closet is a room. "[if unvisited]It is pitch dark; after a moment of fumbling, you find the switch and turn on the light. One dull yellow light bulb illuminates the cramped confines of the closet. A cockroach flees across the floor to a dark corner. The broom catches your eye; there's something unusual about it.[otherwise]You're standing awkardly in a crowded janitor's closet[end if][if the broom is shifted]. The south wall has dropped into a trough in the floor, revealing a brightly lit octagonal chamber beyond[end if]."

After going south from the Closet Hall to the Janitor's Closet:

say "You enter the janitor's closet and close the door carefully behind you.";

now the closet door is closed;

continue the action.

The closet door is a door. It is north of the Janitor's Closet and south of the Closet Hall. It is closed and locked. It is unlocked by the set of keys. The heavy-duty lock is part of the closet door. The heavy-duty lock can be pristine or ruined. It is pristine. It is gunworthy.
