Galerel's mansion

From MUME

Galerel's mansion is an abandoned house located east of Bree, notable for being the location where the ghost of Galerel may be encountered. The entrance can be found in a hidden ravine behind a wall of bushes somewhere on the plains just east of the Midgewater Marsh.

The front door to the mansion is locked and the lock needs to be picked if one wishes to enter. There is a guestbook in the entrance hall where players may sign their name or read the previous entries. Also on the first floor is the kitchen, where one may find some smoked and cured meat in the stove.

There is another locked door on the second floor of the mansion, which requires a key to open. The key can be found on a black crow that normally wanders around nearby, just south of the Hedge.

The door leads to a balcony, where the winch command can be used to haul up a basket. Entering the basket causes it to start descending towards the platform where the ghost of Galerel awaits.

All 4 exits from the platform lead to the same location - the room directly below the platform. Getting back up requires a fairly high climb skill, though you will not take a lot of damage if you fail to climb up. Galerel himself will not leave the platform. When he is killed, all his items will also fall down to the room below.

In most rooms of the building, messages about strange noises or mysterious movements will occasionally appear. These seem to be just to create the mood and do no have any gameplay significance.
