1. Ground Floor
From Bog Street, the warehouse's most obvious entrance is a pair of sturdy wooden double doors over ten feet wide, large
enough to accommodate a horse-drawn cart. To the right of the cargo doors, a single door is recessed into the stone walls of
the warehouse; a narrow street to the left wraps around the building, leading to its back door.
The ground floor of the warehouse has been secured like a fortress to guard against unwanted intrusion, primarily from the
Midnight Slasher. All of the single doors are locked and barred from inside; a peephole enables guards to survey visitors.
For added security, windows have been shuttered and bolted from the inside. If heroes listen at the doors or windows, they
can hear faint cheers and sounds of dogs barking.
Inside the front foyer (la), where workers commonly hang their cloaks on a row of pegs along the wall, two soldiers watch
the front entrance, accompanied by a war dog by the light of a guttering lantern. They will admit any visitors who know the
password ("Arkendale Lives."). A similar security team guards the back door.
The soldiers guarding the entrance are under orders to disarm visitors, meaning that they do not permit any large weapons
into the Dog Fights. The guards to not perform a rigorous body search of the guests, so it is easily possible to smuggle in
small weapons, provided that they are modestly concealed. Confiscated weapons are kept in the chest in (la) and will be
returned upon the heroes' exit. Soldiers direct disarmed guests to the stairs leading down to the dog fights (Area 3).
The stone floor of the warehouse (1b) is stacked with crates, containing assorted mundane goods, including huge casks of
wine for export to Silbervas. The stacks and crates loom up into the darkness beyond the scant illumination provided by the
guard's lanterns. A pitch-dark (locked) office (1c) contains the business records for one of the Falkovnian merchants. In
addition to papers and ledgers (detailing business transactions between Silbervas and Karina), the desk contains a curved
dagger and a branding iron with a hawk insignia for marking new slaves.
2. Escape Route
The warehouse next door to 123 Bog Street has been fitted with a secret trap door, leading to the bar area (Area 4c). The
windows, front and back doors have been secured as in Area 1. The escape route is guarded by two soldiers and war dog.
Expecting a quiet night, the guards are passing time by playing cards under the light from a single lantern. The rest of the
warehouse is pitch black and filled with towering casks of Shriek, a red wine produced only in Karina.
