I know where it is and potentially how to get into it. But I haven't been in it and I don't know anyone who has, either.

Though, I would love to get into it.

Well done, Anom.


Thanks! I got a tip from a guy. Let's go soon. I didn't get many great shots. Also, you gotta hear the echo!

The phrase is:
If you ask, you shall receive...

SETTING:
(A noisy pub at the port of a sea side town.)

I was a lonely man. Always dreaming of adventures.
I was low on funds, and desperate for another thrill.
I thought all hope was lost. Until one day, I met a man at port.
He offered great reward and glory for taking oath to his crew.
He was a charming man, he stood tall and was confident with his promises.
So I bought into his story.
He took me to his ship, and there wasn't a soul aboard.
I presented him with the obvious question, and he replied:
-"There be no man left of my crew. My adventures,
lead even the strongest man to the loss of his hope, or the loss of his life."
I learned I was now part of a one man crew, with a fearless leader.
And loved it.
Captain IndoAnomaly and I set sail for high seas.


We then arrived at port of our first stop!


Then we dropped down into the treasure vault!





It was a massive chamber but all the loot was gone!


Empty!


Empty!!


EMPTY!!!!!


In every direction.


Even the extra secret vaults were even empty.





Only the spiders were left.


But then we found more than we thought we would.


Preserved under the surface of the placid water.


Proof of the theives!


They were careful, but not careful enough.



But after finding all the treasure gone we realized the greatness of where we were at and made our way to the next port!

I love your imagination man. I have no idea how you came up with that story in your mind and used the pictures to present it. Bravo!

What? THAT is a way in?

I didn't know of a way in other than paddling upstream from the creek!

(Which I have only heard of, but which I have heard from a reliable and well-known source)

edit: Oops! Sorry I was thinking of another place...in another "downtown".

I made a trip there in early August. SUPER easy to get into at the moment multiple doors weird windowish things without glass etc. BUT there is a guard in a golf cart that patrols. We didn't notice until we were leaving though and we made tons of noise inside (literally yelling for echos) and they didn't seem to notice. If you want to see it though do it soon they are doing construction to it currently so you will have to go nights/weekends. Guard seems to patrol a pretty large area so don't let it scare you, but it was probably 2am when we left and shortly after we made it out on the street they rolled on by so also assume 24 hour patrols.

It won't be much longer before construction is done and it's gone. It's becoming an art/concert venue. We were just there within the past week.
