It leads upward to yet another cellar, only marginally less dusty than the first. This one however has an ajar door that you bounce over to and have a listen at. The loud noises from before come into focus as the excited babble of many humans. Occasionally one voice would rise above the rest, then the rest would roar in response.
You creep closer, following a trail of food smells. Coming to the door you peer around it and find a vast feast laid out before you! Platters stacked high with steaming foods! Roasted birds, heaps of potatoes, wheels of cheese, pots of soup! Cakes, pies, casseroles! So much that large amounts are scattered across the floor, carelessly lost by the dozens of humans!
Well humanoids, a decent number of horned lizard men and pale furred and hooded folk are there too. Robes, pointy hats and staves are in abundance, as are any number of tasty looking exotic creatures perched on shoulders. Humanoids meander to and fro, eating, talking, spilling drinks on table clothes and harrassing the serving staff who move briskly through double doors to a kitchen and out a larger entrance to the rest of this place.
