Steading of the Hill Giant Chief

Korgazhar
The room is full of rotting foodstuffs, bags of grain, crates and barrels of all sorts. On cask he finds open and smells of wine, though it seems more vinegar than anything else. Beyond that, you find nothing of any real interest.

Sending your eye below, you find a large, wide open area a the base of the stairs. A wide tunnel leads out of the south wall, while a pair of smaller tunnels exit east and north. Numerous tables and benches are pushed up along the walls, and a trio of doors are on the far side. Torches line the walls, giving the entire place a dingy-orange glow.

Moving quickly and quietly across the open space, you reach the door to the cell block. The door itself is a thick cord of wood with a barred window. Through it, Fernal, you spy a long hall with doors constructed from metal bars, all of which are fastened closed with large padlocks. The interior of the cells cannot be seen; it is pitch black. Not even the light of two nearby torches can penetrate the inky blackness. You can see a pair of burly bugbear guards about halfway down. They are speaking to one another, pacing the hall, drinking, eating, and generally doing what most bored guards tend to do.

What catches your eye, however, is the large brass gong midway down the cell block, and the large striker standing against the wall next to it.

You move your eye slowly south, as the rest of the group moves to the cell block.
