An opening on the eastern wall leads into a darkened corridor.

A ten-foot diameter circle is inscribed in the floor between the fountain and the newly revealed opening. Unfamiliar characters dance along the inner and outer edge of this circle. As you examine it, a female voice whispers in your ear: "Find me, free me..."

Fen winks at Rexy and returns his focus to the darkened opening. "Princess (his new pet name for Ray)," he says, "Hold that lantern up high and throw some light in there."

"Avoid that circle and follow me." He spits one final glob of tobacco juice before heading off toward the far exit.

"Maybe... if I look closer, I could see what that is," Rayel offers tentatively. If none of the others prevent it, she will get a bit closer to examine the circle and letters, without crossing it. She resolutely doesn't mention the voice.
