The kitchen is tidy, with dishware, cookware, and utensils neatly placed on shelves. A worktable has a cutting board and rolling pin atop it. A stone, dome-shaped oven stands near the east wall, its bent iron stovepipe connecting to a hole in the ceiling. Behind the stove and to the left is a thin door leading to a well-stocked pantry (area 4B). All the food in the pantry appears fresh.
Behind a small door in the southwest corner of the kitchen is a dumbwaiter—a 2-foot-wide stone shaft containing a wooden elevator box attached to a simple rope-and-pulley mechanism that must be operated manually. Hanging on the wall next to the dumbwaiter is a tiny brass bell attached by wires.
Unfortunately, there's no door leading to the outside.
“It certainly sees like evil things have transpired here. Torture, adultery, and a dungeon!? I did not see a way down, so there may be a hidden trap door somewhere. Perhaps the exit is through that dungeon.”
Nathaniel goes to ring the bell to see what effect it has, if any.
"I say we don't trust the food, either," Ellie says, looking at the spread before them. She cautiously watches from the doorway as Nathaniel goes to ring the bell.

Vicki says: "Of course." to Ellie's comment and waits for Nathaniel to finish checking for traps.
