An opening in the ceiling into the floor above is filled with a tangle of ropes and slings for lowering timber. Nearby, a flight of stairs ascends to the next floor. Two sturdy wagons sit to the south, next to a bank of machinery accessed by four low doors; the grinding and creaking of the machinery fills the room. The doors to the south are metal and one of them hangs open, revealing the machinery (a long metal pole that slowly turns and turns, along with various weird bits and bobs) within. You guess, given the loud noise from below, and the gentle, constant rotation of the equipment, that this is the waterwheel-driven machinery.The room is empty, but the noise and bustle from both above and below make it hard to determine the human noise from machinery from the river below. The entire floor is covered in a fine layer of sawdust, with large piles of it brushed up against the east wall. It should be easy for the leader to draw an arrow in the sawdust and the last person to brush it away, but it is going to be very difficult to remove all tracks. Fortunately, there are lots of tracks already, as one would expect from a working mill.OOC: You can either search this empty room, or try for listen checks, or head up the ropes/chains, or investigate any part of the room you want, or walk up the stairs to the next floor.</blockquote>
