Nalin's footsteps down the stone steps spiraled to the depth, with occasional rods struck into the wall with the glow at their tips illuminating their surroundings like torches might. Yet there were gaps between them where shadows reached further, the steps continuing at least. Reaching the base, a metal rod on the wall gave the chamber some illumination at least.<br/><br/>The stone staircase brought him down to the middle of the room, the illumination from the rods in the pillar showing the room was some thirty feet across, the stairs descending at the middle of it to the floor. There was no door left in the old arched doorway a touch further off, the light dying off after a few steps, the doorway showing a pathway roughly wide enough for two men to walk side by side down it.<br/><br/>The smell of mold was present in the room, as was the show of rust on some of the metal rods. There were some puddles on the floor, but a rusty grate at the floor seemed to have kept the place from flooding even under heavy rain.<br/><br/>Down the hallway were two doors, one towards the west, one towards the east, the path leading south to the round chamber, and the hallway splitting into a T intersection at the end, a single metal rod at the back wall giving the hallway a little illumination. The two doors to the hallway's sides were both wooden, though looking as old as the largely broken tiles in the walls.
