Any visual evidence of actual rodents has since disappeared as they shy away from the torchlight, although soft sounds of motion can be heard. This time, everyone hears it: soft sounds of splashing water.The stairs down are fully 10' wide at the top and run further westward. It is at this point that the rather elaborate historical/religious fresco artwork comes to an end. After about 20' of descent, they open into a room where they split into two separate 5' staircases, which turn towards the north and south walls, and then run along those walls until they finally reach the floor. You step into the small (15' wide, and 10' deep) landing area unopposed, and are confronted with choices.There are open exits to the north and south, which after three steps, may finally bring you to the crypt area itself--in the gloom you think you can see multiple layers of alcoves in the walls opposite these exits. And to the west is a pair of double doors, which are fully open. Inside are two small chambers, and possibly some alcoves attached to the second chamber in. Judging from the table and tools, this is some sort of work area.However, the most obvious thing here is the smell: it is musty, whereas it should be quite dry.[sblock=Overall Layout]With the exception of the Triclinium (the room where the rat was, located to the south of the Rotunda), up until now you have had a series of small rooms heading west (and downward) from the entrance.[/sblock]</blockquote>
