C14. Server Area

Little more than a glorified hallway, this area is for the waitstaff to serve guests in the adjoining Dining Hall (C13), Ballroom (C12), and Smoking Room (C15). At present, one ibix server and one Human child server (Philip Anvil of Blackapple) loiter in the area. The dumbwaiter on the south wall receives food and drink from the Kitchen (C21) on Level 3 below. If the PCs examine the dumbwaiter: A sliding panel on the south wall reveals a 3- foot by 4-foot space. There's no floor to the space. A crankshaft to the right of the panel suggests this is a large dumbwaiter for receiving food from a kitchen below. The dumbwaiter can only support a maximum weight of 200 lbs; there's no sign to indicate this limit. The characters may use the dumbwaiter as an elevator between Level 2 (14a) and Level 3 (21a). If so, the GM should determine whether their weight exceeds the carrying capacity (taking into account the weight of armor). Also, the GM should consider that one person must operate the crankshaft at 14a or 21a.
