The room, now that the giant bulk of the snake was not hiding it, was full of debris.
Sebastian barked a laugh from the swamp cavern and choose to stay there in the mud. But Edwin was certain that something was hiding in this chamber, and so he began shifting through the ruble.
He first searched where the snake had been coiled and saw a painted arrow on the tiles. Following the direction towards which it was pointing, Edwin came to a hanging chain that was made of copper and seemed to be broken at the end.
There was a pile of rubble bigger than the rest in the room, and Edwin looked up to see a hole in the roof. Shifting through the debris was hard, most of them were sharp rocks and pieces of wood with sharp, uneven edges, but Edwin finally found something at the bottom.
