He sneaks down the passage some 80' and the music gets louder the closer he gets. Finally, he reaches a  shallow set of steps leading down-  and observes a smallish cave at the very end of the corridor, set up as a furnished cozy homey-looking cave. The floor is covered with furs and the walls are decorated with tapestries- probably muffling some of the sound. An angular, human-sized woman is bent over a cauldron, which is itself bubbling over a fire.The music is coming from a clockwork device in the corner- a wooden box with a horn-shaped tube coming out of the top. It looks in every way like an antique gramophone, but instead of discs, it seems to be playing a revolving greenish-blue egg-shaped crystal that is set in a brass holder, and slowly rotating. She <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=165052" target="_blank">doesn't notice </a> Arvin and continues stirring the cauldron. Arvin freezes as he notes a black cat snoozing by the fire. It's ears perk up and it <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=165054" target="_blank">yowls at the darkness where Arvin is hiding</a>. What next? The cat seems likely to want to get up and investigate.</blockquote>
