After visiting the odd gravity defying water the group decides to descend to the next level down on the tentacle. Its a long tight and arduous 20 minute climb but all members make it down safely. They arrive in a similar room as the room at the top and it appears the tentacle continues on downward.
What is very noticeable is the sound coming loudly from the west:
A monotonous grinding noise comes from this irregular cave, which contains a contrivance designed to turn a massive millstone. Two pieces of lumber are crossed to form an X, set horizontally on a round platform. An exhausted-looking team of peasants is chained to each of the four ends, and they push the crossed timbers in a counter-clockwise direction. Broad chains connect gears on the platform's base to a huge millstone nearby, which rotates laboriously, crushing some gray substance beneath it. As you enter, the peasants look up but do not stop pushing the wheel.
