| | Corridor to the Depths Behind one of the doors off the main hall is a corridor leading down to the vaults. They are made of rough hewn stone and are dimly lit, torches sit in iron brackets along the length of the corridor. The passage way slopes downwards and the stone floor has been worn smooth by centuries of use.
The corridor is long, it takes about ten minutes to reach the tracks at the bottom. When you reach the bottom, in the company of a Goblin, you will be helped into a cart and your journey down to your vault will begin, twisting and turning and dropping miles below the ground. ooc: your post will be deleted if you post here without being escorted by a Goblin. You must post in the Gringotts Main Hall and wait for a Gringotts Goblin to lead your character here.
Once you post here, you will be linked to your character's vault thread, which is specifically for you. When not in use, the vault thread will be moved back into our storage. |

Megan's heart jumped as she reached the corridor. It looked extremely long, she could not see anywhere near the end. The walls were lined with torches, providing just enough light so they could see straight ahead. The floors were smoother than Megan had expected. Probably, she thought, because it has been used so many times. The goblin led the way as they made the long journey down. The air got colder and colder as they went, and Megan found herself staying near the torches as they were the only supply of heat. About ten minutes later, she could finally see the end of the tunnel, and emerged next to the tracks shortly.

The torches ahead of them dimly lighting their way. It was a fairly quick journey compared to the journey they would soon be on to the vaults themselves.
Stopping at the bottom after their ten minute walk, he motioned to the cart. "Mind you keep your hands and legs in the cart at all time," the goblin announced as he allowed the girl to enter the cart, before entering himself.
"Hold on tight as Gringotts is not responsible for any injuries and or fatalities that may occur.," Quizzit voiced before the cart began to move slowly down the track into darkness and the first level of vaults.

Megan stepped into the cart, followed by her mom. The oblin got in and they were off, zooming through the tracks.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Penny Laughgood Second Year | Hufflepuff where they are just and loyal they are patient, true and unafraid of toil
Penny followed the goblin out of the main hall into a dingy stone corridor, awaiting the cart that would bring her down to the family vault - Gringotts main building was fine, but this down here kinda freaked her out a little.
Hoping the cart would arrive soon, just so she could be finished and get out of here..

Taking his time almost with glee he twirled it between his fingers, weighing it in his palms, smoothing his hand against the wood. If he had half a mind or was a lesser goblin, he'd tell her he had to hold it while she went down to the vault...for security purposes of course. But no, he was not that devious....at least not at the moment.
Comparing the description of her wand to the one in his hand and making sure to scrutinize every square inch of it, Quizzit looked up at the woman and handed the wand back. One single finger at a time. "All seems to be in order," At least for now...
Hopping off his stool he disappeared from view for a few seconds below the counter to the small withdrawal ledger and some clankers. Appearing at her side, he began hobbling towards the corridor. "If you would follow me this way." Oh. My. MERLIN.
Anastasia's lips were pursed so tight she looked like a pucker fish. Could he HURRY IT UP ALREADY? And look at him, running his grubby, fat little fingers all up and down her wand like that, leaving markings and probably a trail of slime... or whatever it was that goblins left. Gross.
She rolled her eyes and used her dress to wipe her wand clean as best as she could. Then she carefully stowed it away into her purse where HE couldn't get to it and followed him into the corridor to the depths.
Now for that horrid cart ride. Ugh.

Jayden followed the goblin down the corridor that lead to the vaults. She remembered doing this last year, but she was too afraid then to take everything in. "Sure is cold around here." She remarked, her teeth chattering slightly due to the cold.
Now, time to wait for more instructions and for the cart to get there. Awesome.

Alyssa and her mother followed the Goblin down the dark corridor that led to the vaults. This wasn't the first time she had been here but it was still kinda scary looking. She waited with her mother while the cart arrived to pick them up and take them down to her vault.

Now, time to wait for more instructions and for the cart to get there. Awesome. Putting two fingers to his lips, the old goblin let out a loud whistle. In no more than a few seconds, an empty cart appeared before them.
Turning to young woman, he spoke up as he hopped in. "Keep your arms in, don't lean out or you might lose your head."
Another whistle and the cart was moving at breakneck speed as it zipped forward. Going faster and faster, not even slowing when it hit corners or the great drops that often accounted for going down a level. The wheels on the track thundered along with a loud racket but Quizzit appeared to be completely unaffected
Whizzing through the first levels, the darkness was only interrupted by the flashes of sputtering torches. Finally the cart began to slow at the 200s.

Quzzit quietly lead the way down the corridor, going deeper and deeper into the bank. The walk was only but some ten minutes but with the dimness of the path and the confided area, it could possible feel like it was a lot longer.
Turning to check back on Miss.Jayden, Quzzit nodded. "We are not to far from the bottom," Finally arriving at the track, he reached for pair of clankers and motioned to the cart. "Please enter the cart and remain seated at all time. The old goblin said as he stood aside.
Waiting for the young miss to securely and safely enter the cart, Quzzit followed suit and entered the cart himself. Within seconds the cart began its descent as it slowly moved down the track. Quickly it began to pick up some speed and soon was zooming down the dimly lit track toward the first level of vaults.

"Wow, it's very dark here!" said her. Quizzit expelled a wheeze of breath as his knees creaked with age. He was getting too old for all this running up and down through the depths, perhaps he would consider transferring to the mint?
Giving a backwards glance at the young girl, the old goblin resisted the urge to roll his eyes. They were underground, darkness was a given. "Yes it is." He said with no sarcasm whatsoever.
Arriving at the tracks, he brought up a hand and snapped his fingers loudly. Before long a cart was whistling along towards them coming to an abrupt stop. With a quick little hop that defied his age, Quizzit was in the cart and motioning for the young girl to get in. "Please keep all hands and feet inside the cart at all times as Gringotts is not liable for any accidents and/or fatalities."
And with that they were off hurtling to the deeper vaults.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Sapphire Wulfweardsweorth Third Year | ♥ Gryffindor ♥ ★ Ravenclaw ★ Nicole followed the goblin to the corridor, Matthew and the two kids behind her. "Not many people enjoy the ride down to the vaults," Nicole said softly to her husband Matthew. Their daughters Tayla and April listening. "At least I don't...Just...hold on tight."
Matthew wrinkled his forehead in wonder then simply nodded. "This is so cool..." their older daughter Tayla said as she looked around. "Tayla, don't let go of Dad okay? I'll take care of April." Nicole said and then waited for the goblin to give her instructions.

Orr followed the goblin to the corridor that lead to the vaults. It was the first time she had done so and she glanced around nervously while keeping up with the goblin who walked ahead of her.

As they arrived at the tracks, the elderly female goblin turned to address the small group even as a cart came whistling to a stop beside them. "Please remember to keep your arms and legs inside the cart at all times as Gringotts is not in anyway liable for any accidents or fatalities that may occur."
With that said, she grabbed up a lantern and sat herself up at the front of the cart. Waiting patiently for the group to get situated in the cart, the old goblin then faced forward and snapped her fingers deftly. In less time than it took to blink, the cart had reached speeds astounding to even the best muggle roller coasters. Shooting forward, the sound of rattling tracks thundered in the air as the cart dipped and swerved deeper into the vaults.

Leading the way down to the tracks, Quizzit began absentmindedly whistling a merry ol' tune. It was near the end of the back-to-school season and no one could be happier. Of course he loved work at the bank but nevertheless he'd be happier when the workload and consequently the number of times he walked down to the depths decreased substantially. "Here we are." He announced as they stopped in front of a cart. "All aboard and please mind your limbs. Keep them inside the cart. Safety precautions." And probably for her own good. Wouldn't do to lose an arm just because she couldn't keep still.
Checking to make sure she was properly seated, he himself sat up front and waited patiently. For a few seconds it seemed like nothing was going to happen when suddenly with a jolt that stung the eyes, the cart jerked forward shooting down the tracks at frightening speeds. Curves loomed with deadly purpose only to conquered at the very last second, at times leaving the cart only following the tracks on two wheels. Other tracks and vaults passed in blurs as they made their way down to their destination.

| ♣ Heejin here | Did somebody say coffee & cakes? | cat lover ♣ Walking towards where the goblin was going, Alexander made sure all the stuffs that he needs to deposit are there. He'll be putting in some of the family books as well, nothing too fancy. Since the study room was already filled and his son barely visits nor reads anything from there, it's a waste to put these sort of books there. Besides, his dead father would be really disappointed if he ever lost one of them. Gringrotts are very tight with their deposits and security. So he trusts his books would never get lost... That's for sure.
Lead the way, Mr. Goblin.

Lead the way, Mr. Goblin. The corridor was long. Accessing a vault was not for the impatient. In fact anyone who dared show too much impatience was quite likely to be delayed even further by being led through one of the side corridors. For now though,Quizzit kept up a brisk walk in silence and when they finally reached the bottom of the corridor, he chose a cart and pointed to it. "This is it."
Turning on his heel, he gave the man a polite head bob and hopped into the cart. " Arm and legs inside the cart. No exceptions." Because of course, any exceptions would probably result in injury...who knew maybe even fatalities.
Those words were the only warning he gave as with the jerk the cart took off at a speed that would put a muggle roller coaster to shame. His posture never wavering at the front of the cart, Quizzit directed it through the winding tunnels by no means that could obviously be seen. Careening forward, the cart pummeled into the darkness taking hairpin turns and stomach dropping dives. Eventually however the cart began to slow its pace as they arrived at the right level.

Eventually the rough hewn stone corridor gave way to a large open space where a cart was already waiting.
Opening the cart door expectantly, the old goblin gestured inside. "Please watch your step and take a seat and please remember to keep all arms and legs inside the cart at all times."
After everyone was situated, he took his position as well and snapped his fingers. With a jolt the cart was off, careening at warped speed down to the lower levels.

alice and her dad followed the goblin through some doors which led to what looked a very long and dark tunnel. alice was afraid of the dark because she didnt know what lay ahead so she held her dads arm as they followed the goblin. the tunnel smelt old and alice could hear a dripping coming from somewhere. 10 minutes later they made it to the tracks where a cart waiting to take them to her vault was waiting for them.
