John finally finds what he is looking for. A small hole in the stone wall.
John pulls a chain out from around his neck, that holds a key. The key looks to be broken as it appears to be only the head and a shaft, there are no teeth on the key. John takes the key and inserts it into the hole and turns it. A series of clinks are heard followed by the sound of a stone sliding. A single stone is protruding from a wall column on the other side of the cellar. John removes the key and quickly walks over to the column. With all his might, John pushes the stone back into the column. A series of gears start to turn and the wall next to the column starts to slide revealing a hidden staircase.
John enters the hidden staircase and pulls the level at the top of the stairs. The wall slides closed behind him and secures with a loud thud and a series of clicks.
I haven't been in here in 15 years. Glad to see it is all still holding up and secure. Hopefully the gun emplacements aren't inoperable. 15 years is a long time.
John quickly goes down the stairs almost 2 floors and enters a hallway. John heads down the hall and opens a wooden door to the right. He walks into a room directly under the tavern. The room is cut out from the stone of the hill, making it solid and nearly impervious. The room contains 6 gun emplacements each with their own port window. The gun port covers are starting to give way as some plant life is growing through the wooden covers. John moves to a gun port and opens the cover. Some dirt falls in and vegetation covers the view outside. Making quick use of his knife, John cuts away the vegetation, revealing a clear view of the town and the monster.
John does the same for the remaining gun ports, opening them and clearing the view.
John then checks the ammo and gunpower storage to ensure the powder is dry and the ammo is usable.
Just as I remember. God I loved this place. Wish I didn't have to leave it.
John quickly moves back up the stairs, pulling the lever and opening the wall. John steps out and repulls the lever to secure it behind him. John makes his way back upstairs where the rest of the group works to defend the position. John finds Jack standing by the window and pulls him aside.
How many men do you have with you here?
