Following Soveris, the group descended into the cellar of the Wolf's Head Tavern. Wooden pillars and beams supported the ceiling, roughly ten feet high, and a thin mist floated above the cold floor. The cellar was filled with racks holding massive wooden barrels, suspended with their bottoms about a foot off the ground, and the air was tinged with a light aroma of fermenting beer.
Leading the party past these barrels of brewing beer, Soveris stopped in front of an ordinary-looking stone wall. He stooped down and fumbled beneath one of the barrels, then flipped a switch. With a series of clacking gear noises, a secret door in the wall swung open, revealing a much smaller room. Apart from a statue of a raven, there was no other furniture in the room, and near the ceiling, just behind the statue, there was a hole about three feet in diameter through which a slight breeze carried the scent of fresh air.
