Again the party pause at a door before its pulled open by Winifred allowing Cassian, Bardin and Evelina to lead the way into the back room of the disgusting fish factory. The room is massive, stretching almost as large again as the rooms you have explored and set ~10ft lower than the level you were on. You emerge onto a rickety wooden walking overlooking the main floor.



THe floor here is slick with river water, bits of seaweed and fish blood and the air is thick with the accompanying stenches. Your catwalks sticks to the all around the eastern edge of the room before coming down rotten stairs on the far side of the room, or its only a 3 yard drop for those who are so bold! A wide square opening in the floor in the western half opens up directly into the muddy Jeggare river water. Above that square opening is a trio of blocks and pulleys and ominously a rope with a noose at the end hangs above each one.... blood stained wooden planks around the hole.

The eastern half of the room of the room is filled with an 8ft diameter chum barrel, fed by the chutes from the previous room. Standing waist deep in the vile slurry and stirring it hard are three young teens, to the far wall (west side) a series of planks are balanced upon barrels where 4 more children use wooden paddles to squeeze the moisture from the chum cakes so they form a sticky mass and then drop them into tattered looking crates presumable for sale. Above the racket you can see two surly thugs, one with a large heavy cleaver, the other with a rusty chain wrapped around his fist, the chain drips blood and several of the children bear marks of its blows. As you enter he smashes the chain against the tar sealed metal tank, bellowing "CHUM, CHUM YOU BUGGERS OR YOU'LL DO FOR GOBBLES!" he stares up at the holes where the chutes were, not noticing the halfling's blood in the fish slime....

As you all barrel into onto the catwalk the thugs look up in surprise, but grin with evil intent....


OOC

THe catwalk would be 22 yards total to run around the edge and then down the stairs. The thugs are in the centre of the room (between the tank and the opening) and look at you with unpleaseant gazes

If you assume each square is ~2 yards
