They followed a tunnel which headed steadily downwards for some
hours, with no side tunnels leaving it. Eventually it opened out into a
roughly circular pit
some forty feet across. A
helical stairway made out of iron was attached to the wall of the pit. It
spiraled
upwards further than the light of Lord Fred's torch could reach. It had no
guard-rail
and the steps were none too wide, but it was the only possible exit from
the pit
unless they were willing to retrace their steps.
