Brue worked at the bottom lid, careful to avoid damaging it as much as possible. Prying it open, she looked in satisfaction as the bottom came free of the barrel. Unlike the top of the keg, the bottom almost resembled a plug, nearly a hand-span thick and comprised of two separate pieces of wood. The thinnest piece, the part that formed the outside of the lid, matched the rest of the wood comprising the barrel. On top of that was a circular block of wood, designed to fit the curve of the barrel snugly, which gave the appearance that it was the bottom of the barrel on the inside. Brue tapped at the wood block, but it did not sound hollow. It was, however, exceedingly light; the bottom lid was only slightly heavier than the top lid, even though it was several inches thicker. Tracing a finger along it, it had a somewhat spongy feel to it.
