Desmond/Mondes squeezes through the wire-grate and into the crawlspace beyond. It's tight--even for a Halfling.
It's more or a less a 1ft wide, 3ft high vent shaft. From the look of it, it was never intended to carry any traffic other than air currents. It is rough hewn and the raw rocks are piled with thick dust and vermin droppings. Because of this, however, it's very apparent that someone--or something--has been using this route. And rather recently if Desmond/Mondes is not mistaken.
By the limited torch light behind him, Desmond/Mondes observes that the vent carries on at a level to the right, but rises steeply to the left. It seems both routes have been used.
Meanwhile, in the laundry, Dorgan judges that it might be plausible to open the wall up to reveal the hidden vent--but would require proper tools and a fair bit of muscle. In his weakened state he doesn't feel fit to do it himself. At least not immediately...
