[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 6172066, member: 40413"] It seems strange that the concealed door was not locked in some fashion. Tasanto is only able to force it partly open; the warping caused by moisture prevents the door from sliding back completely into the recess in the wall designed for it. There is still plenty of room to pass as the door is remarkably wide and seems to be designed more for the display of wealth rather than the securing of valuables. The passageway is wide, nearly twenty feet at a rough guess and after a small landing descends in stairs down to a hallway underneath the mansion. On either side of the underground hallway is a long recess filled with an elaborately carved and painted marble panel depicting scenes of battle. The artistry of both pieces is exquisite but a quick assessment would indicate the piece is too large and heavy to be moved easily. At the end of the hall is a double door. Flanking the door are identical statues of beautiful maidens standing life-size in postures of welcome.
