You are in a dungeon.

    Your tension eases slightly now that you can finally see. Your eyes take a second to adjust to the light as you aim the creature forwards and survey your surroundings. The light flickers as the creature blinks rapidly, but it generally keeps its eye open long enough for you to get a sense of where you are.

    You stand at one side of a square-ish 'cell'. Stone walls rise up 12 feet on all 4 sides rise and join seamlessly with a stone ceiling. The floor connects as well on all sides save for the one wall with a large wooden door breaking the grey monotony. It's as if the room was carved out of a mountain.

    Dried bloody streaks, stains and handprints cover the stone walls on all sides, and the floor is almost entirely darkened with blood and dirt.

    In one corner is a small wooden bowl, completely empty but grimy with a dried sticky substance.

    In the opposite corner of the cell is a hole big enough for a fist, the edges of it covered in feces.

    The wooden door is as you imagined it. Large and impenetrable looking, but scratched to shit with no discernible pattern or intention. The scratches most heavily border the outer edges of the door and often the exposed splinters of wood appear soaked in blood which then smears on to the adjacent stone. At the very top of the door, beyond your reach you can see an opening about 3" tall by 12" wide, but no light comes through it. It appears like a shadowy rectangular crevice between the top of the door and the ceiling, as you cant get high enough to shine any light into its depths.
