The first of the two doors lead to a living quarters with two beds. From the dirty state of things it seemed orcs had been living here, and evidently had taken anything of value with them. The next room, however, had a cauldron inside.<br/><br/>Kasala bent down, sniffing the contents. "Ah, I see. This is the base for<em>potions of enhance ability.</em>Enough to brew six potions of varying abilities. It's been left to sit for a little too long." She sighed. "If Pinna were here, I'd have her work on it. It needs some... general care, but we could reconstitute it."<br/><br/>Moving across the hall, Larissa found the guard station and the dungeon. From the disarray, it appeared the orcs had been using this place as a living quarters, and had taken their valuables with them when they left.<br/><br/>The final room in the basement was large, yet empty. A potential rallying point in case of a siege. Another stairwell led up into the ruined tower. "There, that is the secret entrance," Kasala noted pointing to the back wall. Some examination revealed the mechanism. From inside, the door could be opened easily. On the opposite side, however, a brick slid away to reveal a keyhole. So the passage made for an easy escape, but a difficult entry.<br/><br/>Following the passage up, she found it did indeed open into the bailey of the castle, still within the castle walls.
