Editing Beneath Castle Everglory: LEVEL 6: The Prison (section)

=8.  The Stairway Down=

The entrance to level 7 has been blocked and concealed as stone floor.  Allow the party to notice it by some means.  To determine which PC gets the honor of noticing it, start roll for the highest of Vision, Observation, or Per-based Traps in the party, working down the list until somebody notices it.  If every roll fails for some reason, just pretend that one of them was a success and let a character notice the concealed entrance.

The entrance is blocked with earth covered by stone floor blocks, and can be excavated in about five minutes with picks and shovels, fifteen with improvised tools.  Underneath is a basalt passageway, spiraling steeply downwards into darkness.

The spiraling passageway descends 110 yards.  At the bottom, is a simple arched doorway of stone, set with a door of polished teak.

The door is not locked.  However, just before the arched doorway that leads into Room 1 of Level 7 is a pit trap, disguised as stone floor by a thin sheet of slate held up with wood.
