Make a concise location description of a spooky basement with a gloomwood counter, candles, and a door.

This area feels much cooler than the parlor, due in part to having both lower elevation and a bare steel floor. The only available light is shed by a few sputtering candles scattered atop the gloomwood counter in the far corner, behind which stands a tall, heavily bearded man. Upon one wall, a large, purple-tinged door is barely visible, its silhouette betrayed only by faint writing along its edges.
