Pulling the cowl of your cloak tightly over your head, you subtlety slip out of the crowd and enter the abandoned building. Closing the door behind you, you turn to see a dark and dusty room filled with moldy furniture and discarded refuse. You hear the sound of dripping water from what is certainly a leak in the roof. Curious, you decide to explore the building, using your fire striker to ignite the small pocket lantern hanging at your side, providing some illumination. The main floor appears abandoned and devoid of anything meaningful to examination, but you find two sets of stairs: one leading to the second floor, the other to the basement. What do you do?

1. Take the stairs to the second floor
2. Take the stairs to the basement
