Three masts, as well as a number of smaller pillars, supported the ceiling above them. Set alongside the hull were what appeared to be the crew's personal effects, roughly twenty locked chests with a rolled up hammock beside each of them. Another twenty unused lockers or so were stacked up in a corner. Aside from these, the hold was empty. Behind the central mast was a heavy trapdoor leading downwards, currently shut. Towards the fore - or was it aft? nobody could be sure as they couldn't see outside - were stairs leading upwards, but these too soon ended at a shut hatch.<br/><br/>Then, they heard heavy footsteps belonging to more than one or two persons coming from the deck above, and soon after the hatch opened. Boots came into view first as the people began to descend.
