A long ankle bone is centered in what appears to be a pair of broken manacles.
A low chuckle is suddenly silenced.
A low growl resonates through the halls.
A metallic rattle and scrape followed by a loud clang, perhaps from a metal door or portcullis.
A moment of silence is broken by a crunching sound somewhere nearby, followed by the croaking of something unknown.
