The hallway ends here.  A short flight of roughly thirty steps will bring
rather conventional, straight wide steps made of stone with railings running
alongside.  Nothing very exaggerated like what you have seen so far,
although it still retains the dark overtones as you notice weird scriptures
engraved flowlessly onto each step.
