Despite the basement being almost pitch-black, Oratha could see well enough.  As she entered the training room, however, it quickly became clear that the signs of life weren't mere plunderers looking for lost riches.  The training dummies in the room had been shoved over to one side, to make room for several workbenches, each with several various tools spread out on top.  On the other side of the room, where the sparring circle should have been, was instead a larger, more ornate table, with several chains on top of it.  Surrounding the table were various markings on the floor.  Oratha couldn't see them well enough to make them out, but even with a glance she could tell they were something sinister.<br/><br/>Before she could dwell on what she saw, however, several figures turned to face her.  Two of them were drow, one male, one female, both wearing leather armor.  The third was a human in robes.  All three of them quickly drew weapons; the two drow wielding rapiers and the human holding a staff, and began to approach Oratha.
