It is a eight feet drop to the next tunnel but there is a ladder that makes the descent easier.

The tracks are not hard to follow in the muddy ground and soon Raena has also adapted to the stench. Many creatures scuttle in the darkness around her but nothing feels like challenging her and soon she arrives at another ladder, this time leading up to something like a balcony- where she also finds a heavy door.

Behind it the sound of voices talking and laughter?

She creeps up to the door and presses her ear to it trying to discern what is going on.

Noone hears her as the people somewhere behind this door are drinking and carousing and singing and seem to place bets on someone called "Hamfist Bill" and "Kneebuster Tom"- where it seems that Tom is the audience favourite.

Crouching down she peers through the key hole. She knows she won't see much but if the room is crowded with bodies she may risk trying to slip through the door.

There is not much to see but a thick, velvet curtain that sometimes moves as if people are brushing against it.

Then a giggling elf squirms between curtain and wall only to be caught by a grinning tiefling and being dragged out again. This allows a glance into the room- the air heavy with smoke and it is indeeed packed with bodies, the crowd seems to watch something in the middle of the room, hooting and shouting and whistling- sometimes yelling insults.

She tries the door pushing down on the handle and bumping it with her hip to push it open.

First.... nothing. Then it moves slowly and she can slip into the room. From the inside the door fits oerfectly into the wooden paneling of the wall, hard to detect if you do not already know it is there.

So she stands, between curtain and door, the stench of undersigil slowly repleasec by the smell of smoke, alcohol and many sweating and often unwashed bodies.

She steps out from behind the curtain. She would make no attempt to hide her face, that would draw attention to herselfinstead she acts natrually and tries to look at whatever it is everyone else is looking at as she works out her surrondings.

She fits in well.

The way she is dressed, the dirt on her clothes, the smell- she really fits in very well.
Looking around she finds herself in a rather large room, a balcony surrounding it, most tables and chairs occupied.

She now sees that she is in a bar, to her left there is a very lifelike statue of a Vrock, the letters "Screeching Scum" on a plate around its neck.

If this is a comment describing the crowd or the name of the sculpture or perhaps what this place is called remains unclear for now.

In the middle of the room there is a pit, the walls and floor made of a strange, red and golden wood.
Two men are fighting each other, wrestling and kicking punching but Raena notices they deal less damage than they should to each other or is something or someone permanently healing them?

((I assumed her spot matching her listen skill))

She makes her way through the crowd towards the bar, or the boith where they take the bets ir to whereever else she might find someone else who works here and would bo the patrons. As she does so she takes a small hand ful of coins out of her pouch and puts then into a seperate bag.
