After five days of divvying loot and preparing for the next step. the group investigates the rest of the gate captain’s compound. This reveals little but does put the group in conflict with five large and well-equipped trolls. A few strategic walls of fire and the warty foes are ashes. A bit of looting and searching reveals a steep stair to a large roll-up door. The door is opened and a room of pitch blackness is revealed. The darkness is so deep that it threatens to overpower even the aura of magical weapons. The party hugs the walls and scoots into the room. One of the columns lining the wall has a secret door that leads the group to a ledge in the secret shaft.

They investigate the shaft and wander around a prison complex, view a torture chamber, find the waiting room revealed by the mirror they found in the lady’s bedroom and an exit to a catwalk that stretches across the top of the gates. There are signs of occupation, but all are in the distant past. It does not seem that this area has been utilized in some time...
