You react with a shiver - but is it of horror, or of anticipation?
Four large iron candlesticks, the candle wax dripping down their
sides, light this stone (and soundproof) room. Iron rings are set
in the walls and in the heavy ceiling beams, some with ropes and
pulleys through them. A case on the south wall holds a whip, a crop
and a cane. One picture graces the east wall - you look at it with
fascination. On a small table by the rack (you've avoided looking at
it?) are a book, a leash, a collar, and a set of shackles.
A staircase leads up to the north.
There are three obvious exits: south, west, up.
