Lokin and Kongu follow Payne around the room as she meticulously searches. Kongu holds the torch and Lokin keeps the shield just behind, so as to give Payne illumination while shielding it from the wind as much as possible.
To the right, the room tapers to a dead end. At the end are two metal chests, about 4' long, 1' wide and 1' high. To the left, the room continues on a diagonal, about 70' long and 15' wide. There is a door at the end.
All along the walls are ledges, racks and pegs, most empty. Payne carefully looks for anything hidden behind any of them, but finds nothing. There are two suits of leather armour and one of studded leather, all old and with holes making them of little use (+1 AC less than new). There are several loose metal plates that may have once been part of a suit of mail but clearly no longer. A wooden spear with its head broken off (useless except as a pole), a battleaxe and a longspear both with warped handles (-2 to hit if you try to use them as a weapon, although the heads will do normal damage), two daggers and a short sword that, while old, may still be the only fully functional weapons on the racks. Also three arrow quivers (empty) and a broken heavy crossbow (the winch is missing, possibly repairable by a bowsmith).
