########## during the night, after tainaron has ##########
########## started moving, the lower floors are ##########
########## shut off, preventing entry or exit for ##########
########## the guests. food is no longer served, ##########
########## but the drinks become more extravagant. ##########
########## it's at this point that the second set ##########
