Tunnels

Moving to the next room (28) you examine the large and heavy looking chandelier. Well built it hangs by a stout chain and has a few figures worked into the structure. The figures are water beasts and fish of various size and nature. you note they are all upside down and after a moment realize the entire structure is that of some odd creature with tendrils wrapping around the other animals. (An inverted jellyfish with other creatures trapped in its tendrils)
The two northern doorways have old and rotting doors while the SW corner has a heavy stone door. The sound of water is coming from beyond the stone door.

You know from your taime with the expedition that once you have secured the area you will likely get a commision on any historical pieses. The chandelier though only simple iron may still net you a samll profit.

Going north from 26 through the passage you reach the portcullis that blocks off every to the next room, 23, that is empty save another door on the NW side. The portcullis lock mechanism looks fairly simple if a bit rusty.

Blornvid makes quick work of opening the potculis. The room is bare but you see another door on the south wall

The northern door is the usual rotten mess while the southern door is carved from stone. Once again the motif is that of water and its creatures.

The southern door did not survive without any problems as it turns out. Though it is unlocked the door sticks after only being pulled an inch. No matter how hard you pull it will not budge. Looking at the door you see a few cracks and believe it could be shattered if hit enough, or a pry bar may allow you to wedge it open, or a block and tackle to pull it open, or , or , or . . .

The pry bar shifts the door a bit then Blornvid helps out and after a few horrible scraping sounds the door busts open. As it does runes cleverly hidden in it's carved surface glow brightly then the entire fire explodes. Rock chunks shower everyone.
