Columned Portico - # - (-------------------------------------------------) W <---(M)---> E - # - 'Welcome to Hotel Hello.' a native doorman says. 'Veldra asks that I lock the gate after new arrivals. Don't worry, I am sure you will find your own way out in time.' A native doorman ushers everyone into the hotel. Tall graceful marble columns rise several stories above your head, supporting an overhanging vine-covered balcony on the third floor of the Hotel Hello. A pair of double doors, finished with beaten copper sheets, open into the retreat to the north, while a stone walkway similar to the main one wraps around the front of the hotel to the west and east. A set of grand wrought-iron gates are welded into the spiked fence to the south. The gates clang open and shut in the wind, like the tolling of a death bell. The south gate closes from the other side. You hear a faint *click* from the south gate.
