A basalt hallway

[Quino]

A basalt hallway
  The hall is of dark stone, dimly lit and filled with the sweet scent
of myrrh. It does not gleam or shine, and it is filled with indomitable
dread. Blood stains the walls, and its rich, warm smell drifts thick and
heavy on the air. Screams of pain and torture can be heard echoing
somewhere, but where it is is indeterminate. The hallway ends abruptly
here.

[Exits: east]
A guard wearing no armor blocks the stairway up.

op up
You see no door up.

op down
It's locked.

This guard stands before Overlord (exit down), but his long desc seems to be copied from one before pit of lost souls (where exit is really upwards)
