Thomas opens the heavy oak door to a large chamber roughly 15 foot by 25 foot. His flashlight slowly scans the room. The floor, ceiling, and walls appear to be dressed stone. More of the strange symbols on the door can be found carved into the walls. The ceiling is high about 15 feet or so. Torches line the walls but they are unlit. A curtain hangs on the wall just across from the door. Could there be a room beyond? A the center of each wall are large African drums. Two long stout poles jut from the entry door wall. Leather thongs dangle from the poles. In the center of the room is a eight foot diameter stone block. A large pulley and chain hangs over the block which appears to be used to lift it. All is quite in the room. A faint foul smelling odor perminates the room.
