Alfric looks around the corner. There's a small fire crackling happily away in the hearth. No ones around. Perfect. He moves quickly past the table, past the window, and up the dark stairs into the tower. From here he can get into the living quarters through a small hidden passage way, built in case of emergency. Though he had never used it before and did not quite know where it would come out. He runs his fingers along the wall, listening carefully incase anyone should enter. He feels a small notch and leans in closer to see. That's it, the door. He places both hands on the wall and pushes. There's a scratching sound and a small crack appears. He holds his breath and pushes again. After some struggle the door falls open, collapsing noisily onto the floor. Alfric jumps slightly, his heart racing. I hope no one heard that.
A long dark passage lays out before him. He coughs as the dust rises up into the air and covers his face with his sleeve.
