However, in fact there was no surface collapse into the dungeon and eventually it was learned that the original dungeon dating back at least 15,000 years was capped with a 20 ft. thick cap of unknown material with only one entrance left accessible, but sealed. On top of that cap there were two levels of “dungeon” consisting mainly of storage and with a small prison area. On top of that was built the castle and the city. This “dungeon” had many openings into corresponding areas above. It was estimated that the city and castle were demolished about 3000 years ago give or take a few hundred years or so. When this occurred, the “dungeon” was also destroyed. Therefore, the dungeon that remains is the original pre-cap dungeon. After the original single access through the cap was located the breach into the dungeon mysteriously disappeared.
Before the breach disappeared, the PCs lowered themselves down with ropes several times before they began searching for a better way in. After the breach disappeared they had little choice but to clear the access stairway. That alone took them several weeks.
I hope to soon start posting the rooms with comments. This thread is numbered 001 since I am guessing if I live long enough to finish this project it will take over 600 threads of about 3000 posts each (5 rooms to a post) to complete the project. But at least this project should keep me out of trouble, as I avoid all the other forums like the plague.
As it becomes necessary I will add an index to this post. I have debated how I will number the rooms for you and I have decided that I will number them as follows L-001 would be Level one and L-095 would be Level ninety-five and so on. Each level has between 5000 to 15,000 rooms per level, so the room number is noted as R-00001 for room number one and R-00957 would be room number nine hundred and fifty-seven and so on. The total line for each room will read L-001, R-00001 and so on. Sub-Levels are designated as L-001A, L-001B and so on.
