Constables of the 14th Ward

Only light pressure on the door is required to pivot a 5' section of stone wall. Beyond it are 3 stairs leading down into a room. From the looks of empty weapon racks and tumbled down bunks, this was once a barracks or guardroom of some sort. It seems long abandoned and there is nothing of obvious value here, the wooden furniture here having long since succumbed to rot in the underground dampness. A stout iron bar, now quite rusty, leans against the wall at the top of the 3 stairs, near the secret door. Brackets on the wall flank the secret door, and you presume that the iron bar could be placed in the brackets to prevent the door from pivoting/opening. Soulfetter finds the narrow doorway, short passage, and three stairs quite challenging for his immense bulk to negotiate. The space between the pivoted wall section and the doorway into the barracks/guardroom is only a little over two feet wide. It requires most of you to turn sideways to pass, while Soulfetter must shed his gear and squeeze through, getting a few scrapes on his shoulders and hips for his trouble. The exit from the guardroom/barracks is a narrow passage that seems to open into a larger one.

Raul at the secret door

Alarion of Tovarre

"Everyone ready? Let us go forth, then." Alarion leads the way through the narrow passage.

As the party moves up, Raul will pass through the secret door and rotate the panel to close the door begind him, watching how the edges line up so he can find the panel quickly if the party returns this direction.

Raul notes that the door is easy to spot from this side. It's only hidden from the outside.

Having been furtherest up the corridor, Jonas heads toward the entrance with Bruno. Before entering though he pauses and listens closely up and down the hall.
 



Thea moved cautiously into the passage. "If any of you gentlemen need your hands free, I can hold one of the lights," she said quietly. "Let us remember our line of march- who knows what forgotten threats might be in here...
 


SoulFetter

SoulFetter, his voice an almost subterranean rumble, mutters "I've got to find a Vestige that can make me smaller for times like these - preferably one that likes it underground as well."

After suiting up again, he takes his battle axe in his left hand and a throwing axe in his right and falls into the marching order.
