As Zeric looks back at the party to tell them about the newest secret door he notices for the first time that the pair of half-elves that were following them around are nowhere to be seen. 'Were they on the elevator on the way down?' he thinks. They were such a quiet pair, they could have been gone even longer.
Raven checks the door, and finding no traps pushes it open and peers through it.
The room appears to be a smithy. It's unpleasantly warm and filled with the stench of hot metal and ash. A blazing forge dominates the east wall, flanked by malachite caryatids depicting dwarven metalsmiths. In front of the hearth rests a 10-foot-wide, 20-foot-long slab of gray stone surmounted by two black anvils. Barrels of water and metalsmithing tools rest nearby.
Two cylindrical iron cages, each one 5 feet tall and 2 feet wide, dangle from the ceiling by iron chains. The bottoms of the cages hang 5 feet above the floor, and the giant fire beetles locked within them shed a lurid orange glow.
Atop the slab, a female dwarf and three goblins hammer away at a pair of newly forged javelins while two halflings sit on the floor nearby, linking together tiny chains for what will ultimately become a suit of armor. The dwarf and halflings have manacles binding their ankles. Supervising them are four armored hobgoblins.
