:''A pair of chairs made of many curved ribs, with ornately-carved backs, lion-head armrests, and red cushions on their seats, sit on a red and gold rug below a tapestry of desert boulders forming a lion's head above an ominous door.  Perhaps that door's what those campers from above sailed in search of!''
