Center Wing - Above Areas 18-21, & 23

A narrow corridor runs along the pe nphery of this area, granting archers access to the arrow slits around the wall of the Redoubt. The great majority of the space in here, however, is occupied by a mass of solid stone.

This stone is poised as a giant trap, the final element in a scheme that would enable the city's richest and most powerful citizens to stand a chance of escaping even the most pressing assault.

The stone trap can be loosed by remote control from the cellar of the Redoubt. Its weight crashes into the hall above, crushing everything in areas 18 21 and 23. It also seals off, probably for years, the entrance to the secret escape passage leading under the fortress.
