Quoted By:
Now that you know the guards are merely scarecrows, you slip back through the gates with confidence. It's only a few feet to your east from there to slip into the north wing's main door unseen; the door is heavy and you find you are able to enter the room without making much of a sound. Your entrance is drowned out by the sound of chattering, slurping, grunts and other animal sounds.
The first thing that hits you about this section of the Abbey is the stench. It smells horrible in here, like a cross between a zoo and a sewer.
This corridor is lightless. It has multiple doors behind which you believe must lie the creatures that shatter the quiet with their mad cackles and whispered curses.
You squint into the corridor. Your instinct tips you off before your eyes do that something is wrong.
