Dingy, crushed boxes are stacked precariously atop kegs scattered throughout this storeroom. A single torch is affixed to the middle of one of the deep, black walls, illuminating a small door. Mice scurry around the boxes, looking for a small morsel of food to satisfy their hunger. A spiral staircase in the corner ascends into the shadows.
