As Talon pushes on the stone, he realizes that there is a section that is noticeably colder than the rest of the wall. It also seems to have some condensation on it. After a few more moments of prying at the wall, he discovers a hairline crack in the stone, and eventually is able to pry the secret door open.
The air here is thick with the smell of cooking meat and wood smoke. In the center of the chamber is a large iron cauldron, blackened with age and soot. A pair of small, pale humanoids, with fierce fangs and oversized pads on their fingers, kneel near the cauldron, adding sticks to the fire, while a third pulls squirming rats from a bag and tosses them into the stew.
