Tempest finds a secret door behind the counter, leading to a flight of steps. The stairs descend south to a set of double doors, revealing a once grand hallway.
Heavily scuffed marble that’s seen better days covers the floor of what was clearly once some sort of ceremonial hall. There are lamps in the alcoves and their light reveals bits of uneven raised floor where statues once stood. Crude graffiti bearing names and rude pictures cover every pillar, but underneath the dirt and graffiti are pictographs and the carved faces of hobgoblins.
You notice that every bandit who lived here has signed their names on these pillars. There is a door on the western side of the room leading to places unknown...
You see what appears to be a pair of halflings sitting at the end of the hallway rocking and murmuring to themselves. They have not noticed you and don't even appear to be aware that your are in the room.
