The Black Citadel
The corridor is lit at long intervals by burning torches, so the corridor is only partly lit and it is difficult to see clearly in the semi-darkness that surrounds you. Along the corridor as you walk, you notice many doors on either side. Each door has a metal hatch located in the door about head height. Some sort of markings that could be writing are scrawled above each door that you pass. From behind some doors you hear slight thumping sounds and also murmurs.
Once you see a large metal portcullis closing off the end of the corridor, you figure you're in a dungeon under the Black Citadel. Past the portcullis you can see another identical one and a similar corridor continuing along in the distance. Between the two portculli is another corridor that forms a t-junction with the corridor you're in. You need to open the portcullis somehow. You notice a large wooden lever here, jutting up and out from the stone wall.
