The cellar was almost more impressive than the house itself.  It was made up of a series of cavernous rooms that had to take up the entire space beneath the mansion.  The walls were hewn stone blocks, the floor was cobblestone.  The ceiling was massive stone blocks supported by thick wood beams.  There were a series of walls and pillars to support the beams, and each room was filled with a variety of racks, shelves, and other storage devices.  Most had been emptied, leaving the cellar strange bare and echo-y.<br/><br/>The pair didn't notice anyone else as they ventured into the cellar, though from a few tools laying on the ground someone had been working down there.  A bit of searching found the tunnel.  A hole had collapsed from a far wall, dropping part of the floor and much of the wall down to form a treacherous looking ramp.  It was pitch black, outside the pool of light formed by the cellar's lanterns, but the lower chamber looked to be a crypt.  They could see a sarcophagus covered in spider webs and, half-buried in the stone, a pick-axe still grasped in a hand with skin of mottled green and brown.  The rest of the would be thief was buried.<br/><br/>OOC:<br/>DC10 Acrobatics to walk down the ramp.
