As Finn walks through the chamber he sniffs, then looks for wet footprints on the floor leading to one of the side passages or to a side door.

Moving about the chamber there are several passages, two to the left lead to what look like long rows of cells. Two to the right appear to be the same as well.
The decorated arch leads to a small short flight of stairs.
While the passage nearest to the entrance seems to lead into a tight confining passage that twists out of sight. Finn notices wet foot prints leading this way.

"Which way friends?" Gerwald asks the others. He glances around the room. The cells could hold the missing dwarves. He walks toward the archway and examines the stairs to see where they might lead.

Varuthil stands up from where she was kneeling. "I can get nothing from the stones except the taint of evil. This is a wicked place."

Finn looks around the chamber for Hild, "Let us find her, and then be out of this place," he adds in reply to Varuthil. "There is no need for us to linger here."

The stairs lead up a short way into some chamber perhaps, clearly there is something important that way.

Varuthil whispers, "Shall I scout the way ahead or does someone else have more stealthy feet than me?"

Finn nods at the Elf's suggestion, "We won't be far behind."

Heva steps forward, barely whispering "I've hunted since I could walk"
Fantasy is the exercise bike of the mind. It might not take you anywhere, but it tones up the muscles that can. Of course, I might be wrong.

"Most of us should do well here, though I am your scout," Glirion offers.
