Compose a short description of a gloomy hallway with a carpet runner.
assistant
A narrow hall leads from the Bard Guild to the public Performance Hall, its passage a dogleg from east to north. Sconces mounted to the walls throw a flickering gold light across the hall's dark grey walls. The only other ornamentation is a carpet runner that follows the passageway's crook. A small flight of stairs leads to the backstage area.
