---Everyone---
The group moves down the stairs and everyone stops as Arius reaches the next level. Beyond the stairs and the rocky tower, only the dark walls of the cavern, bits of rubble and the roof of the old fortress can be seen. No one sees or notices anything along the descending stairs that looks like a trap or dangerous obstacle other than the normal rough and worn stone steps and floor. The group of adventurers notice the obvious hole in the cavern wall when they reach the lower level. Its hard to miss with a distinct trail of blood leading into it, marking it very clearly as the hole that the giant rats drug their former comrades into. Arius cracks his whip at the side of the rat hole. Several squeaks and scurrying can be heard from within, but nothing emerges from the hole.
The hole itself is large enough to crawl into, but that would require the group to go in single file on their hands and knees.
