Your eyes strain attempting to define the shapes in the dimly lit room you now find yourself in. A beam of moonlight projects through a high small grill or window.

Picking yourself up and taking a few paces, your left foot strikes an object and you hear a clink. Reaching down you find a box containing dusty bottles.
