The rungs are wide-spaced for most kobolds, but the going is easy enough. The four explorers leave the shaft and step onto the second level.As far as the eye can see to the north, west, and east, the level appears to be one continuous space broken only by dozens of pillars and thick walls that never seem to actually form a separate room. Most of the pillars are only three or four in diameter, but some are even larger. To the south, about 40 feet away, it is what must be the outer wall running left to right. Nowhere visible is the ceiling higher than six feet.The floor, walls, and pillars are all constructed of the same strange metal as seen on the first floor. Just to the northwest of the shaft is a skeleton, apparently of a human. Tatters of cloth still cover the naked bones. From the southeast side of the shaft can be seen a strange collection of spheres, wires, tubes, and boxes covering about a 20-foot square of floor and rising all the to the ceiling.Suddenly, there is a loud pop!. Sparks fly from the strange collection, briefly, harshly illuminating the area. A grinding sound follows. The rungs on the sides of the shaft move: those on the west side rise, on the east side they descend. In the next instant, they stop, and the circular opening leading further down closes as a metal trapdoor slides from within the floor to block the way deeper into this bizarre place. The way up still lies open.[sblock=OOC]If you're going to search anything (e.g., the skeleton), give me a Search check. I also need Spot checks from everyone.[/sblock]</blockquote>
