Moving forward to stand near Akilu and peer into the tavern, Vanden calls out, "Hello? Is there someone in there?"

Vanden peers into the Ten Bells tavern, finding himself looking into the main bar.
Once upon a time, before it was boarded up and abandoned, it would have been a comfortable if lower-class tavern, filling the broad middle ground between the Savage Shark and The Sailor's Rest.
The original brick and flint walls, ancient floors, old beams and aged furnishings and tables are all reminiscent of an earlier age, when the empire was not yet in decline and when dozens of thirsty imperial sailors, fishermen, merchants and dockworkers would have drunken themselves to rowdy stupors here.
The room is dead quiet, although by the dim light coming through the open door from Coraithe's hovel, Vanden can see an enormous rat dart into the fireplace.

Vanden smoothly slips past Akilu into the bar. Brow slightly furrowed, he scans the interior.
[sblock=ooc]You say it's boarded up. Is there another exit, a main one? Any other exits from the bar- boarded or plastered over? How about a stairway or the like?[/sblock]

Vanden slips into the dark room, unable to see much in the near-absence of light. A dim line of light on the far wall looks like it might be the bottom of the boarded-over main door to the street outside and there's a shape in the far left corner that might be a staircase.
There's a sound like someone moving a chair in the darkness, and then rattling it against the floor in a frantic motion.

Vanden reaches into his belt pouch for a candle and a tinder twig. Standing near the doorway, he strikes the tindertwig against the jamb, and uses it to light the candle. Not quite as useful as a lamp, but it is better than nothing in this darkness, he thinks.
He wraps the bottom of the candle with a piece of parchment, to keep the hot wax from dripping on his fingers, and proceeds into the bar, moving towards the sound of the chair rattling.
