OBSERVATORY

A domed ceiling sits 40’ above, made of what looks like solid diamond. A desk littered with notes sits near a plinth in the middle of the room. Upon the plinth is a brass gyroscope surrounding a large glass orb, and a panel of buttons and levers.

  • Telescope: The scope’s lens is a massive chunk of meteoric diamond (1,000,000g).
  • Gyroscope: Controls Crook's roof, which is actually a large, inverted telescope. If the rotated completely around, the roof will rotate in a way that keeps the room intact, but magically extend the scope down to [C5 Stolas's Prison and Universe]. The inside of the gyroscope is a glass orb that shows what the telescope is aimed at, and the telescope rotates to the point dialed-in on the panel. It returns to its normal form after it isn't used for 1 Minute.w
  • ?Panel: Four separate 4-digit sliders, a lever, and a button are on the panel. The numbered sliders are numbered to determine the coordinates for the telescope. It is currently set to all 0’s after resetting itself. These numbers have a small black dot inked on them: [6|8|4|3] [0|9|1|9] [7|4|3|2] [8|7|4|3] The 0 in the fifth position is a hint.
  • ?Lever: Can be set to three positions; “Send”, “Inactive”, or “Pull”. Currently “Inactive”. If the Aging Ruin has a sacrifice, “Send” teleports whatever is in C5 Stolas’s Prison and Universe out to the slider coordinates. “Pull” teleports that celestial body to this area instead.
  • Button: Activates the star ripping magic if the Aging Ruin has a sacrifice.
