Torch Sconces are ornate with scenes of warriors,anvils, mining and everyday life of Chennet's Folk. Murals painted upon walls in the stairways show the history of the place.The flagstones of the floor are patterned in intricate and beautiful designs of pale blue, russet red and the most beautiful shade of pale green.The Lower level is much cooler than the upper level, although there is an obvious clash of temperature, as the Forges to the South conflict with the river that travels into the Hold. Several Dwarfs are fishing in the water, glancing at you nervously, though not with alarm, as you are obviously not the beast. The Causeway leading to the Crypts is a low affair, the walkway a mere foot above the level of the water.One of the fishermen sees you looking at it and says 'Fear not thet ye'll ghit stranded, friends. The water never gits higher then the causeway. Fact is, we kin shut 'er off as well, with a small dam near where the river enters the Hold.' The Dwarf then turns his attention to his pole, where something is pulling strongly. After a moment, he whips the line up, sending a pale crustacean flyig up onto the walkway, a crayfish the size of a cat.Quickly grabbing it with a pair of tongs, he plops it into a large bucket, where another smaller one can be seen. Smiling, the dwarf sets about baiting his line with a woung strip of bacon.'They likes bacon, as do th' catfish.Nothin gits em asking fer a dinner invite like a good strip o'bacon,I tell ye...'OoC:My sister and I used to catch crayfish with bacon in the canals near our home. She once caught a tiny channel catfish with bacon as well, kept him for a oer for quite a few years. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /></blockquote>
