Lord Frederigo almost flailed himself for his lack of memory as he spotted
the trapdoor. Then again, he reminded himself, it was covered rather
thoroughly by the dust kicked up by the chests disappearing. Slowly, he
unearthed the door, and creaked it open, revealing a rope ladder going
down into the earth. Cracking his knuckles, he began the descent As he descended the ladder, it became obvious that there were landings at various points. At one, he heard noises like gears grinding,at another, he heard faint voices, at still another, the sounds of hammers rang against rock, and at another, the sound of running water. As well, the ladder itself seemed to continue onward for quite a ways. The passageway was built like a wine cellar, yet who would build a wine-cellar like this? Frederigo had to choose.
