The door is certainly of Dwarfen make and is the first surviving door they have found in this place. Buried under webbing and dust with what look like deliberate scratches by small claws is a wrought sigil with the name
Jungrak written in Dawi runes. Familiarity with Dawi names makes it obvious they were related to the Graka Clan and while
Gurav and the others know several such people back home it is
Bofur who actually knows an old Dwarf back in his village whose name is Koli Jungrak.
As they barricade the door with the found wood and pitons
Hodlar inspects it and declares that the bolts are thrown on the other side and seem to still be in working order if you had a strong enough arm to overcome the grime and lack of upkeep.
"I could drill a hole for a pry bar and Kurev could force it open should we need to open it," he reports.
No other inhabitants bother them as they finish their work and get a careful look into the next chamber.
The archway holds an iron-banded portcullis that is stuck by disuse and fouled by webs. It is easily propped up with scrap wood for added security. It guards a 10 foot square kill box with matching gate on the east wall leading into the next chamber. That is also easily made safe.
The chamber beyond is the same span north to south
as the previous chamber but twice as wide west to east making it the largest they have encountered so far. The Dwarves quickly concur that this was the main hall and given how damp it is its obvious that the nighttime fog has seeped through the ceiling. That ceiling is quite collapsed though and the chamber is strew with earth, stone and the foundations of the tower that once sat above ground. Time has seen too it that the earth and wet have fully blocked any access to the air above. The room smells of must and decay.
At first only silence greets them and there are far fewer webs here. The room is largely open with the giant cobwebs largely kept to the ceilings and corners. There are still some that block easy passage across the area but it seems the moisture helps keep them from completely clogging the place.
