The stairs

You follow the stairway down into a dark, frigid dungeon. The sound of rusty doors swinging on their hinges can be heard from up ahead. After what feels like a thousand steps, you reach a wide hallway illuminated by dim candlelight. On each side of the hallway are rows of heavy metal doors that seem to go on forever.

Some of the doors are locked tightly, but more of them are left open. You peer into the chambers inside, and see an assortment of chains, whips and metal instruments.

Travelling further into the dungeon, you eventually arrive at a crossroads. A large iron door stands in the centre of the far wall, with two dark passages on either side.
