The lobby of the Obsidian Palace, despite it's opulent name, was a place which tended to defy the expectations of those who visited. Wrought of black stone with literal torches lining the walls it was reminiscent of what one might think of when conjuring the mental image of a dungeon. The lobby itself predated the city of Sunagakure by years, decades even by the reckoning of those that had been brought in to study it, and was a practical monument to the roots of the city despite the ANBU complex which had more or less been constructed around it. From the entrance there existed two exits; one to the left through what bore the appearance of a steel door which led into the ANBU complex's training quarters and interrogation rooms. The second entrance existed at the back of the large lobby and was a cylindrical column nearly the entire width of the room in size with a singular one-person door in it also seemingly made from the black stone that the rest of the ancient building was constructed of.
Aside each edge of the door stood two ANBU with featureless masks that neither moved nor spoke draped in long ANBU cloaks shrouding their features giving off an almost eerie gargoyle-less sense of presence. The only sense that a person coming to the Palace might get that these two were anything more than statues would be if they approached the black door which led into the deeper parts of the Palace upon which they would be immediately halted if they were unexpected.

! | You are arriving into the lobby from the door on the "left" which leads into the ANBU complex. This means that the black stone door with it's pair of guards are on Koga's left and the Palace's exit is to his right. |
