1-1 The Grand Entryway

A set of stairs descends to a landing, which then extends down into the chamber below via a pair of sweeping, curved staircases. Four columns reach up into arches that support the vaulted ceiling some 20-30 feet above the floor below. On three of the cold stone walls, pairs of archways lead off into passages. Cradled within the arms of the grand staircase is a large stone statue, easily some twelve foot tall, of a sharp featured elven man, clad in ornate robes. His piercing gaze stares down at a stone stairway leading down in the center of the room. Access to the stairway is blocked by two sets of steel bars set perpendicular to one another, with a gap of a mere six inches from bar to bar.

• Curved stairs lead up to the dungeon exit.
• Archways have no doors to block sight or sound from side corridors.
• Statue is affixed to the floor by large bolts, bolts must be destroyed if statue is to be moved.
• Bars preventing access  to the stairway can be drawn back by two cranks located further in the dungeon.
