A stately dining room(w and n)

The dining room is heated by the warmth of a crackling fire. A stool sits near the fireplace, offering a place for guests to sit while warming their hands. On the opposite wall hangs an elegant brass oil lamp, casting a soft glow on the table below. A few comfortable chairs circle the table, allowing many different views of the hangings upon the walls.
The only obvious exits are west and north.
