C. Entrance hall

A wide corridor (frescoes on the walls) leads to a room with four columns, from the ceiling of which hangs a cubic iron cage. Passage to a wide spiral staircase on the south wall.

• → Frescoes. Orgiastic banquet in ancient Epikuria. One foot from the floor, on each wall, a barely visible 6-foot-long slot.
• → Slot. Contains a spring-loaded blade which should sweep the room. Activated by a pressure plate. A trap expert may observe that the springs have been improperly fastened, rendering the trap inoperative.
• → Iron cage. Askew and still partially hanging from the ceiling. One corner touches the floor (a puddle of blood nearby). A trap expert notices one of the ropes holding the cage in its concealed position has not released, rendering the trap ineffective.
• → Blood. Taste it: Yum yum! Elven blood!
• → Staircase. Leads up to a double iron door, the lock of which was recently picked, opening onto the Great Outside.
