You decide to investigate and quietly shuffle down the stairs. As you reach the bottom floor, the sounds of screams intensify, and you can hear what seems to be laughs among them. You hide under a small table near the stairs, and take a peek out under the tablecloth.
In front of you is a big, high-ceilinged room, lit on the walls by ornate torches and covered on the ground by a soft-looking rug. A large tapestry with the word enjoyment" is hung on the back wall. Wooden doors on either sides of the room lead to other rooms and wings. In the room are a number of well-dressed, pretty women, who you assume are the female staff. Locked in stocks, on x-frames and just being held down are several rich looking people who strike you as young noblemen. The several girls are tickling the men in the room with hands, feathers, and the edges of their frilly dresses, and you realize that what you perceived as screaming is actually rather pleased laughter. After taking a look at the ladies, you guess why the common populace (like yourself) isn't allowed to be inside this building!
At this moment while you are thinking you absentmindedly sit up and knock your head on the table you're under, knocking a small glass bowl off it onto the stone floor. The noise it makes as it smashes echoes throughout the large room. The four or five ladies in the room turn and look at you. In a second they recognize you as a common ruffian, and cease tickling. The women approach you.
