"Disappointing, but I believe you're both right," Malavar answers Taska and Dallion. "Shall we proceed, then? Jaxle, if you're feeling up to it, will you take point again? And keep a weather eye open for more traps!"

Opening the door adjacent to the secret door reveals another descending staircase. Descending that staircase, they enter from the northeast corner of what appears to have been a richly decorated sitting room, approximately 20 feet by 30 feet. Remnants of tapestries adorn the walls and tattered, rotten furniture lies about the room. There is a door centered on the north wall, and windows in the north, northwest, southwest, and southeast areas of the room. The southwest window looks out into darkness instead of the usual wall of dirt.

Drezden "Well at least the choices are obvious try the door to the north unless there are any secret ones to be found."

Drezden moves immediately to the door and opens it, revealing another spiraling, descending staircase leading into darkness.

Drezden holds his lantern out to try and shine some light into the darkness.

Drezden lifts his lantern, but to no avail. The spiral staircase itself obscures what is beneath it. He'll need to descend the stairs to see what is at the bottom of them, even if the entire room was well lit.

Before heading over to the staircase, Malavar takes a moment to look out through the southwest window and does a quick search of the room. And although it seems highly unlikely that there are secret or concealed door in a room with so many windows, he uses his spear to lift the remains of the tapestries to see if their might, after all, be some exit concealed behind them.
OOC: So besides looking out the window, Malavar is taking a quick look around for anything of interest, including secret and concealed doors.

Drezden will go halfway down the stairwell with his lantern in hand to see if he can see anything more.

Malavar does a brief search of the room, checking behind tapestries. He finds no secret doors there. But he does spot a gold, moon shaped earring on the floor near some broken furniture. Looking out the window, he sees a sprawling cavern, eerily lit by florescent lichen. The tower he is in is embedded or half-buried in the northwest wall of this cave. There is about a 10-foot drop to the cavern floor from here. To the south, he sees a fallen tower that is partially submerged below the cavern's muddy floor. To the northeast, the cavern wall runs east and south. Large roots and stalactites hang from the cavern roof, engulfed by enormous webs. Parts of the another roof can be seen buried beneath the north wall.
Drezden, meanwhile, climbs down the stairs and finds another room similar to the shape of the one above. It looks like this room served as a guard post for the main tower. The skeletal remains of at least six guards are present, as is their weapons and armor. There is a door to the north and another door to the south.

Malavar pockets the earring before informing the rest of the party about the scene outside the window. "This is interesting. There appears to be a natural cavern out there, and I can see a tower laying on its side out there. It doesn't look like it's still connected to the building we're in, so if we can't find what we're looking for here, we may have to climb out this window and hike over there for a closer look." He then follows Drezden down the stairs.

Drezden "Dunno about you all but I don't trust them skeletons specially in this place be willing to bet they'll rise and attack us. So lets be careful." the dwarf ranger warns then proceeds down the stairs the rest of the way and waits for the others before trying to look anything over all the while keeping his eyes on the skeletons.

Malavar and the others follow Drezden down to the next floor and find another room similar to the shape of the one above. It looks like this room served as a guard post for the main tower. The skeletal remains of at least six guards are present, as is their weapons and armor. There is a door to the north and another door to the south. Drezden watches them carefully, but they do not move so at all so far.

"Caution is indeed advisable," Malavar agrees. Just in case, he slings his spear, draws his warhammer, and clutches his holy symbol tightly as he moves next to Drezden.

Drezden asks one of the nimble of fingers to check the doors. "Hey any of you nimble fingered folk wanna check them doors for traps and the like?"
