Rae pulls the short sword from the dead room manager's head. "Oi," she says. "Th' troll must not have been happy with th' compensation package."

On the wall is a list of employees, most of the names scratched through. Beside that is a map of the citadel, with several rooms, including all the rooms you've been in to this point, scratched out.
(everything on this map up to room 19, plus 21 are crossed through.

Rae picks up the map. "So the esses be marking secret doors,savvy?". She walks over to the secret door marked on the map and opens it.
