be sure i have the key? from what i know about oubliettes, they didn't need a key.
these little rooms of forgetting, of oblivon, were dudgeons of the worst kind. a small room, (usually in a remote part of the castle) entered, when someone stepped on a trap door, that let them fall, 8 to 20 feet into a small room. even if they didn't break legs or arms in the fall, there was no way out, no window, nothing.. (sometimes, to make them more effective, the floor was covered with metal spikes.. the trap door was sealed, the floor covered with carpet, and everyone just "forgot" . in one oubliette, among the many bones was found a coin dated 1830, and a man's gold watch. mind you, they could have just fallen in at some time, san the owner.. but any information about the room was forgotten..
an oubliette was not like the gardarobe! it was much worse!
