The Gates of Hell

Libya / al-Kufrah /

Back entrance to wikimapia.org/#lat=19.4298282&lon=-155.6209731&z=18&l=...

It is protected by a chain and a combination padlock that any 6 year old could pick. However once the iron bars that serve as gate are opened a stench so foul will over come you that you know immediately that it is the entrance to hell guarded by Smaug, the fire breathing dragon.

If you venture inside be prepared for heat so intense it will melt the silver right off your silver-tipped sword and melt the horns right off your horned helmet.

After traveling the initial 30 degree decline for approximately 32 kilometers, you will be deposited in the main chamber where Smaug's treasure is said to be waiting in piles on the floor. Don't be fooled, he is really not asleep, but lying in wait pretending to be asleep so he can eat you in one sweet tasting bite.

If you dare to try to take his plunder, be sure to bring some fellow travelers, preferably of the Hobbit variety, as they are very stealthy and can sneak by the ever vigilant monster. Once you take a few trinkets, be prepared for the run of your life, as Smaug is relentless in his pursuit of thieves and the return of his treasure. He loves boiling thieves in oil as a snack.

The combination to the lock is three turns to the right and stop at 36. Turn to the left past 36 and stop at 8. Turn to the right and stop at 19. Now you are in.
