As the lantern oil caught, Shalin got a good idea of why the room felt damp. One of the barrels at the far end of the room seemed to have been broken at its base, its contents spilling out over the cellar floor. Either this has happened recently or whoever ran the bar above was woefully bad at keeping his stock in rotation.
The room was dotted with more barrels, most of which seemed to be full and unopened. Two had what appeared to be machinist contraptions attached to them, with tubes of copper reaching up into the bar above. A few sacks were lumped in one corner, soaked through with the spilled beer.
Shalin whistled for her companion, then headed back up to the bar to inform staff of the spill, as well as inquiring about her quarry in places as far away from that old sicko as feasible at the establishment.

A mere ten days after the Mending, a young knight of Valeron and a young ranger of Eos made a discovery that would change Alara forever.
Shalin flinched, shortly thereafter turning her light source back on and carefully descended to the cellar again. She slowly approached the source of the sudden noise, looking closely at the area around the broken barrel.

As she drew close to the broken barrel she noticed something hanging from the snapped panes. It had the consistency of torn fabric. She found it difficult to tell if the noise had come from in or outside the barrel as it seemed to have stopped for the moment.
