Under Hall
Detailed Involvements
Events with rich location context
The under-hall beneath the Learning Hall is a dark, musty space where the Doctor and Selris descend to investigate the Kroton machine’s hidden foundations. The atmosphere is claustrophobic and forgotten, with dust hanging in the faint light and the air carrying a damp, rotten scent. This location serves as a revelation site, where the Doctor’s discovery of the metal pillars hints at vulnerabilities in the Krotons’ control mechanisms, offering a glimmer of hope for resistance.
Claustrophobic and forgotten, with an air of hidden secrets and the weight of the Krotons’ domination.
Investigation site for the Doctor and Selris, revealing the physical infrastructure supporting the Krotons’ psychological control over the Gonds.
Symbolizes the hidden truths beneath the Gonds’ subjugation and the potential for resistance against the Krotons’ domination.
Restricted to those who lift the trap door, with the Doctor and Selris as the only participants in this event.
The under-hall beneath the Hall of Learning serves as the clandestine stage for the Gonds' sabotage. This hidden chamber, accessible only through a trap door, is a cramped and dust-choked space where the Dynatrope's metal supports rise from the floor like the ribs of some mechanical beast. The air is thick with tension, the clanging of mallets and the groan of warping metal echoing off the walls. The under-hall's role in this event is multifaceted: it is the secret workshop where the rebellion's most critical act is executed, the tactical stronghold from which the Gonds launch their strike against Kroton infrastructure, and the symbolic heart of their resistance. Its confined, oppressive atmosphere mirrors the Gonds' own sense of being trapped, yet it also becomes a space of empowerment as they take control of their fate.
Tension-filled with the rhythmic clanging of mallets and the groan of metal under strain. The air is thick with dust and the weight of rebellion, a palpable sense of urgency and determination hanging over the Gonds as they work.
The under-hall is the clandestine workspace where the Gonds execute their sabotage of the Dynatrope. It is a hidden, tactical stronghold that allows them to strike at the Krotons' infrastructure without immediate detection.
The under-hall represents the Gonds' hidden strength and their refusal to be seen as passive victims. It is a space of resistance, where the oppressed become the actors of their own liberation.
Restricted to the Gonds and those allied with their rebellion. The trap door provides controlled access, ensuring the sabotage remains undetected by the Krotons.
The Under Hall serves as a fragile refuge amid the chaos of the collapsing Learning Hall. Its unstable walls and debris-laden floor create a hazardous environment, forcing Zoe and Thara to navigate carefully. The location’s atmosphere is tense, with dust hanging thick in the air and the constant threat of further collapse. It symbolizes the precarious state of the Gonds’ resistance and the urgency of the mission. The Under Hall’s role as a temporary shelter contrasts with the broader conflict outside, where the Krotons’ threat looms.
Tense and hazardous, with a sense of urgency and instability. The air is thick with dust, and the constant threat of collapse adds to the tension, reflecting the fragile state of the Gonds’ resistance.
Temporary shelter and meeting point for Zoe and Thara to assess the situation and plan their next steps. It provides a momentary respite from the chaos outside but remains a dangerous environment.
Represents the precarious state of the Gonds’ resistance and the urgency of the mission. The instability of the location mirrors the fragile alliance between the TARDIS crew and the Gonds, as well as the broader conflict with the Krotons.
Open to those seeking shelter but hazardous due to structural instability. The collapsing environment limits movement and adds to the danger.
The Under Hall, though not the primary setting of this event, is referenced indirectly through Vana’s mention of the ‘earthquake’ that interrupted their plan to deliver the acid. This location—partially collapsed and unstable—serves as a backdrop to the broader chaos unfolding. While Selris and Vana are in the Learning Hall, the Under Hall’s presence looms as a reminder of the immediate dangers the crew faces, from structural collapse to the Krotons’ advancing machinery. The earthquake’s disruption implies that the Under Hall may have been the site of the digging party’s entrapment, where the Doctor is presumed buried.
Not directly observed, but inferred as chaotic and dangerous—vibrations rumble through unstable walls, debris crashes from the ceiling, and the air is thick with dust and the threat of further collapse. The location is a metaphor for the Gonds’ fragile position, teetering between survival and annihilation.
A secondary but critical location, where the digging party (and likely the Doctor) are trapped. Its collapse symbolizes the urgency of the Gonds’ situation and the need for immediate action to free their allies.
Represents the fragility of the Gonds’ resistance—one wrong move (like the earthquake) could collapse their efforts entirely. It also highlights the Doctor’s vulnerability, as his entrapment underscores the crew’s reliance on his leadership.
Likely restricted due to structural instability. The digging party’s entrapment suggests it is now a dangerous, off-limits zone, though Vana and Thara may have attempted to reach it before the earthquake.
The Under Hall is a cavernous, partially collapsed space beneath the Learning Hall, its walls and ceiling groaning under the strain of the Krotons’ vibrations. Dust hangs thick in the air, and the tremors create an atmosphere of imminent danger. This environment forces the Doctor, Zoe, and Thara into a state of heightened alertness, where even minor structural shifts can become life-threatening. The collapse of the masonry is not just a physical event but a narrative turning point—it underscores the urgency of their mission and the fragility of their refuge. The Under Hall’s role shifts from a temporary shelter to a battleground against time, where every second counts in their race to destroy the Dynatrope.
Tense, chaotic, and oppressively unstable—dust swirls in the air as the walls tremble, and the sound of crumbling masonry heightens the sense of impending doom. The atmosphere is one of desperate urgency, where the characters’ focus narrows to survival and immediate action.
A fragile refuge that becomes a battleground, forcing the characters to adapt their plans under threat of collapse. It serves as both a hiding place and a reminder of the Krotons’ destructive influence.
Represents the precarious balance between safety and destruction, mirroring the larger conflict between the Gonds and the Krotons. The collapsing environment symbolizes the urgency of their mission and the high cost of failure.
Open to the TARDIS crew and the Gonds, but increasingly hazardous due to structural instability. The vibrations from the Krotons’ machine make it a high-risk area, limiting how long they can remain there.
The Under Hall, though not physically depicted in this event, is the off-screen battleground where the Doctor and Zoe drag Thara to safety. Its role is implied through the Krotons’ monitors, which reveal the trio’s movement as they flee the collapsing space. The Hall’s instability—dust, debris, and vibrations—creates a sense of urgency, while its connection to the Dynatrope control room via surveillance turns it into a hunted refuge. The location’s symbolic weight lies in its dual role as both a sanctuary and a target, reflecting the broader struggle for Gond survival.
Chaotic and precarious, with dust hanging thick in the air and debris crashing from the ceiling. The vibrations and instability create a sense of imminent collapse, heightening the stakes for Thara’s rescue.
Escape route and temporary refuge for the Doctor, Zoe, and Thara, but also a location under Kroton surveillance—making it a high-risk zone for capture.
Open to Gonds and the TARDIS crew, but monitored by the Krotons via their surveillance systems.
The Under Hall serves as a fragile refuge and tactical meeting point, its dust-choked air and collapsing walls mirroring the crew’s desperation. The space is both a sanctuary (where Thara’s injury is tended) and a pressure cooker (where the failure of the sabotage is revealed). Its instability—debris crashing from the ceiling, vibrations from the Dynatrope—creates a sense of urgency, reinforcing the crew’s need to act quickly before the Krotons strike.
Tension-filled with whispered conversations and the looming threat of collapse, both physical (from the unstable walls) and strategic (from the Krotons’ impending freedom). The air is thick with dust and unspoken fear, but also with the crew’s determination to turn the tide.
Tactical meeting point and makeshift medical bay, where the crew assesses their failure, tends to injuries, and pivots to a new plan.
Represents the Gonds’ resilience amid oppression—a space of both vulnerability and defiance, where even in defeat, the crew refuses to surrender.
Open to the crew and Gonds, but heavily damaged and structurally unstable. The Krotons’ machine is nearby, its influence seeping into the space through tremors and the leaking sphere.
The Under Hall serves as a fragile refuge for the group, a partially collapsed space beneath the Learning Hall where the air is thick with dust and the walls tremble with the aftermath of the sabotage attempt. It is a liminal space—neither fully safe nor entirely exposed—where the group gathers to tend to injuries, assess their failures, and plot their next move. The location’s instability mirrors the precariousness of their situation, with debris crashing from the ceiling and vibrations rumbling through the ground. It is a place of urgency and improvisation, where every decision carries weight and the threat of the Krotons feels imminent.
Tense and claustrophobic, with a sense of impending doom. The dust-choked air and unstable walls create a palpable sense of danger, while the group’s whispered conversations and frantic movements amplify the urgency of the moment. The atmosphere is one of desperation mixed with determination—failure is not an option, but the path forward is unclear.
Tactical meeting point and makeshift medical bay. The Under Hall is where the group regroups after setbacks, tends to the wounded, and strategizes their next actions. Its isolation provides a brief respite from the Krotons’ immediate threat, but its instability reminds them that time is running out.
Represents the Gonds’ resilience and resourcefulness in the face of oppression. Despite its physical decay, the Under Hall is a space of defiance—a place where the oppressed gather to plot their liberation. It also symbolizes the fragility of their situation: one wrong move, and the entire structure (like their rebellion) could collapse.
Restricted to the group present—Selris, Thara, Vana, the Doctor, Zoe, and any other Gonds who have sought refuge here. The Krotons are not physically present, but their influence is felt through the leaking sphere and the group’s discussions of their machine.
