The dark wooden frame with banded bronze to hold it together. A crossed mesh of bronze forming the gate and glowing crystals keeping it lit within. There was a lever with numbers engraved into it and he reached out and wrapped his hand around it. Carefully pulling the lever until it was set to the basement. The sound of cranks turning seemed abnormally loud; almost like a drawbridge lowering. The sound was amazing to him and he couldn't help a thrill as it reminded him of being in the movies.<br/><br/>When the box rumbled to a stop in the basement it a clunked to a stop and Jason pulled the gate up and folded it. His expression thoughtful.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(255, 102, 255)">"I guess we should be glad it wasn't labeled something like "Oracle Chamber" or vaguer.

</span><br/>The chamber wasn't overly large. A circular room of stone with red marble pillars at every compass point. The ceiling was made of some kind of metal tiles in a dome, and the floor matched. In the center was a throne made of gears with spinning clock faces. There was even a bronze arm that could be adjusted to hold a crystal pane shaped like a television monitor to look through.<span class="fixed-color" style="color:rgb(255, 102, 255)">"That looks promising." </span>
