When you pull open the trapdoor, a fell wind ruffles your hair, and the sweet stench of death pervades your nostrils. It is pitch black down there, with a ladder the only way down.
"Do you have a match?" Aliniá asks Eris, holding her nose.
"Do I need one?"
"You? No. Me? Probably. Even with my darkvision, it's difficult to see down there."
The cellar is in actual fact, a large tunnel, dripping with slime on all its walls and burrowing deep beneath the city.
"Eugh. Gross."

*And off we go!* As you venture down the passage, rats scurry around your feet. Eventually, you reach a darkened room where the scummy water laps around your feet. A deep voice growls, "Who're you?"

Kane steps forward. “My name is Kane. We are looking for something that may have belonged to a friend of ours.”
"I am not Lucian!" a sphinx steps out into the light of Eris' flames, "And why should I let you past?"
Kane sees the Sphinx and gulps. “Because we asked nicely? Wait, wait if we answered a riddle? Spinxies love riddles!”
"We also love to be persuaded by foolish mortals."
“Ah...never mind. What must we do to pass?”
"Persuade me of your right to be here. I will wait until you come up with one good reason why I should let you pass." The sphinx stands impassively silent, waiting for your answers. *Gotta go for now.*

"I'd like to think I'm excluded from that," Aliniá says. She'd been trailing a good ten feet behind Eris.

*The sphinx will literally do nothing until you persuade him. Or start trying to get past him. Make some arguments - Alinia (well, TTB) ought to be good at that!*

Kane takes a chair and sets it near the entrance. He takes out a book and pretends to read it, his eyes on the lookout for anyone coming.
No-one's coming by for the minute. The kitchen staff keep working like you aren't there.

Kane, seeing that it looks like they’ll be safe for the moment, opens the door and jumps down and joins the girls.

"I'm sorry. I just got lost looking for him. He invited me here." *She's being misleading, not lying.*

"Lucian may have invited you here, but I decide who enters, by the authority vested in me by the founder of House Arian! Humour me."
