This room is filled with casks and barrels, and hooks bearing hams and sausages hang from the ceiling. A mostly empty rack of amphorae stands along the northern wall. An open archway leads to the northeast and there is a narrow door in the wall to the south. The floor is a tile mosaic, slightly damaged, though it’s difficult to see what it depicts under the stores of foodstuff.
If the PCs move the stores to see the mosaic on the floor, they find a depiction of the year’s end sacrifices to Narafaltha,
with a high priestess slitting the throat of a bull with a sickle while people dance in the background.
The south door is stuck and requires a DC 13 Strength check to open. Because it’s small, only one PC at a time can attempt to open it. Beyond the door lies a narrow tunnel of rough stone leading to a closed iron gate (see description of area 1-4). The gate is locked (DC 18 Strength check to force open) but a small canvas purse lies on the ground under some leaves, just inside (contains a set of thieves’ tools). The purse is not visible but anyone searching the ground can find it.
