Having made the tree appear fiendish with barbs, Duvrael turned his attention to the door. After a moment's searching, he found a hole big enough to send his eye (and, if he decided, his snake familiar) through. Inside was a dimly-lit hallway that led to a large dark chamber. Immediately behind the door stood a hill giant, standing guard. To the right was a set of doors that led further into the steading. They eye would have to move past the giant to see further into the large chamber at the end of the short hallway.
