The Gates of the Palace 
  You stand between two huge open portcullis, one to the north and 
one to the south.  A ceiling lofts above you, held up by a series 
of stone arches.  The walls to the east and west are covered with 
black scorch marks and pocked from splattered acid.  The stone 
floor is cracked and broken from countless upheavals and eternally 
stained with the deep red of dried blood.  You can continue 
further into the Palace to the north, or leave to the south.
