You follow the soldiers into the palace where you deftly slip into the
shadows. The soldiers continue down a long and wide hallway looking
for the spoils of war. You see shadowy movement behind an ornate set
of curtains across the large entry room. Sensing that the soldiers
have gone and will not be returning too soon, you carefully slide
across the entry room and take a look behind the curtain. With your
broadsword at the ready, you pull the curtains aside. There before
you is a secret door ever so slightly open revealing a long dimly lit
passage. You can hear soft, distant sounds coming from the passage.
