The cultist behind, who had been talking to Copper, went around front and moved a stone that was part of a support pillar in the wall. He then cranked on a metal drum, and chains could be heard moving behind the walls.When he was done, the front cultist gestured to Lorent to release the break, and he pulled the oxen forward. Their hooves made click-clack noises over a series of pressure plates in the floor, but they safely carried on."The grinder is a nasty piece of work," the aft cultist told Copper, waving at lines in the walls' stonework. "Made by Bhaalites, I'm told. Big great heavy drums lined with sickle blades swing out from both sides. It's a mess to clean up."He said the last as if he'd done the job, and he probably had.The next bend led to a north-going hallway that quickly opened into a large room, cobbled with red stones. A circular mosaic on the floor of the center of the room showed a white skull, surrounded by ten circling blood-drops. There were doors, both to the north and east, and a large staircase to the west. The staircase had shallow risers, and grooves carved into it at standard wagon-axle width, as well as a chain system on its ceiling.The aft cultist began to hook the wagon up to the chain system, while the forward cultists spoke to a severe-looking woman, who had been standing in front of the north door. The woman questioned him, and she looked past him at the wagon with a suspicious eye. She wore a shield, and she slowly drew a longsword as she looked them over. But she did not attack, nor did she raise an alarm.[ooc]Yes, the wagon actually goes down the stairs, strange as that may seem. They will help you get it down if you don't want to jump them, yet. The prison and storeroom are downstairs.[/ooc][spoiler="Map of Bhaal's Grand Entryway"][ATTACH=full]411861[/ATTACH][/spoiler]</blockquote>
