* Again, you note the large grey flagstones
making up the walls on each side of this spirling staircase.
which lead up & around a hollow core.
You figure out the the horde of bats that flew overhead,
didn't actually go up the stairwell, but up the hollow core;
where the wind seems to be coming from above.
Cobwebs fill the staircase, making it difficult to see even the ceiling.
Heavy beams sag overhead from centuries of weight.
Some places the wall seems solid, in some there are cracks.
After the first circling of the stairwell you come to a large pile rubble, blocking the staircase.
You are able to climb over the rubble with some effort.
After the second circling of the stairwell, you note two things.
First the stairwell continues upward spirling out of sight around the corner.
Second you come to an exit, along the wall, an alcove.
This arched room opens into a vast chamber on the other side of it.
Eight-foot tall shadowy figures lurk in the cold, dark confines this small area on each side.
The figures' muscular stone arms hold bright blades.
Black shadows fall across the features of their face. *
