Now all that remains for you is to get yourself there. If you are reading the drawings correctly - and there is no reason to believe that you aren't - then you should be able to get to the room with the other chimney by passing through just two rooms. You take one last long look at the pile of ash in the ashbox - hearing one more thump and witnessing one more kicked up cloud - then you start to suffer your way across the room, lurching your way right towards the correct archway. It is not a pleasant progress - if anything, you would say that you are having a harder time leaving the room than you did entering it, as on the way in, you at least had your stomach Shielded somewhat, as the False Silverware was between your midriff and the point of emission. But now, with your back towards the Construct in the ashbox, your guts are getting in spades and 'barrows.
The room you find yourself in now is of the typical dimensions, and like the room that you were in before the room with the chimney, it has a long-legged lamp in it. However, unlike that room - or any of the others that you have been in - much of this room's floor has been turned up. Stones have been taken aside, the grass has been dug up - as well as the sandy soil underneath it. The tools that did the deed are still here too, either strewn about or stuck into the soil. You lift your 'stick as high as you can in your current sorry state and painfully shuffle nearer to the hole. As you do, you can see that there is a chest - a rather small, very battered and dirty looking chest - sitting askew inside of this little excavation job. You simply have to assume that it was buried here - and out of curiosity, you consult once more with the maps of the basement, to see if there was any indication that something was buried underneath the soil.
As you might have expected, there isn't.
Of course, this chest has probably been cleaned out as well. More frustrated at how much time you spent earlier picking open an empty chest than anything else, you kick the chest with your footwrapped wrapped heel as you pass ... inadvertently knocking the chest free from its precarious perch. That is enough to startle you, but when you hear things inside shifting as well, you are pleasantly surprised. You allow yourself a pained chuckle as you continue to hear something rustling and shifting inside. You make a mental note to come back here once you are done with the Constructs ... as you continue to hear something rustling and shifting inside.
What is going on? Is there ... something alive in there? This isn't a cage, it is a chest. It is sealed. Could vermin have found a way inside? Possibly. But the only living things that you would - and could - keep in a cage are Constructs. Now, you are just shy of absolutely certain that this chest wasn't in the path of the original heading from the 'compass of misery' ... but even if it wasn't, would it be worth investigating straightaway?
