You descend, ignoring the chest on the table, and look around the room. It's tiny and all wooden, and a cheap shabby wood at that. The room isn't dark, but you can't find the light's source. There are no doors down here, and only a small stepladder to get back up. You feel rather like a trapped animal in a crate being shipped to some circus or zoo.
Looking down, you notice another smaller trapdoor behind the stepladder.
Do you:
open the trapdoor,
open the chest,
or go back up to the main room?
