Room above the stairs.

A macabre area littered with bodies and blood. Some Ghouls and a Ghast can be found here. If entrance is gained from this floor the Ghast will ask the player to leave. A Beggar's Portrait X: 8 Y: -155 can be found in the room above the stairs. The portrait is trapped. Passing a DC 15 check will reward a quest-related letter called Thrumbo's Note.

Secret door.

Not much can be said about this floor. It is messy. A couple of interesting interactions are available:

• X: 2 Y: -166: A lever can be found which opens a door to the basement.
• X: 18 Y: -157: A secret stone door can be found. The room behind reveals a ladder to a secret room on the bottom floor.

Bottom Floor

Secret exit.

The bottom floor is separated into the living area and a secret room. The secret room is accessed through a secret door on the middle floor. A trapdoor leading to the basement can be found in the secret room. The living area is accessed either from the stairs to the middle floor or through a secret door in the outer wall. Mystic Carrion resides in the living area alongside a Ghast.
