Here and there the remnants of supplies slid or crunched just slightly underfoot but if the orc heard these sounds he showed no sign of it. Even as the elven beauty moved closer on her journey to the stairs he did not stir; in fact as Lyradil moved she watched as his heavy eyelids finally slid over his eyes and a slight snore emanated from his body.<br/><br/>The stairs spiraled downwards in total darkness at first rendering vision impossible even for an elf. After a short distance though a faint blue light, perhaps the one from before, began to illuminate Lyradil's path. The air grew warmer as she descended; so warm in fact that roughly four inches of clear liquid water covered the entire floor at the bottom of the stairs. The chamber the stairs led to wasn't particularly wide but it was beautiful in its own way. Dancing orbs similar to those the elf had seen outside floated lazily about and the blue light they cast reflected in the still water. In each of the four corners of the room a statue stood rising out of the water. Two of the statues were the nude forms of elven men while the other two were the nude forms of elven women all of which were posed covering their mouths while laughing. The male statues stood in opposite corners and faced one another and the female statues were arranged similarly.<br/><br/>The walls were covered in faded murals which depicted elves engaged in a variety of acts ranging from innocent love to carnal acts of pleasure. One mural for example depicted a couple holding hands while gently kissing each other, another depicted a woman having her breasts gently squeezed by a man holding her from behind, a third mural showed another woman running her tongue up a man's shaft and a fourth depicted multiple elves in the midst of an orgy. Yet another and more distressing image showed a woman with her feet chained in place as two men groped her struggling form; their fingers tugging on her nipples and running their hands up her inner thighs. A sixth mural opposite of that one however showed the same woman slipping out of her chains as the two men approached without any apparent difficulty. The remaining murals were too faded to garner any details beyond vague shapes leaving much for the imagination given the lewd nature of the visible ones.<br/><br/>Two archways led out of the mural chamber and at both of them the floor rose to keep the water trapped in this chamber. The archway on the right led only a short ways before stopping at a dead end. There the ceiling opened up; likely the chute Lyradil had seen previously. The other archway waited at the end of the chamber and led to another corridor sporting another sharp turn obscuring what the path ahead contained.<br/><br/>Despite the finely painted if indecent artwork, dancing lights and nude statues something else caught Lyradil's eye as well. A single boot sat perfectly upright in the water near the chute's archway pointed towards the far archway leading to the corridor. It was not rotted nor did it look aged at all; in fact it may have belonged to the other sets of footprints she had observed above. The boot had been nearly hidden by the archway itself as it only barely had entered the chamber before apparently being abandoned by its owner.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Perception check 11 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=107641) allowed Lyradil to spot the boot.</div></div>
