The trio, led by Dorgan the Dwarf, make their way into the cellar.
It is a narrow, musty space, and none like the look of the thick, crystalised snail-trails over much of the walls... nor the smell.
Dorgon proceeds ahead, and finds that the cellar extends much deeper than he at first imagined... what might have been another stair, some 40ft farther back, turns out to merely be a great block of roughly hewed stone covered in clods of earth. But, hidden behind this block, is a great dark hole descending deeper... and there is an old, rotted ladder clinging to the side.
But Dorgan has hardly a moment to take all this is, for right away his eye catches a movement, and looking beyond the hole in the ground he spies and the bloated white carapace of an enormously centipede. It must be at least a foot thick; it slowly, cautiously uncurls its fore-sections as the feeders quest toward this disturbance...
The thing is above Dorgan's head on the wall, but not more than 20ft away.
What now?
