After a couple minutes of searching, Chat manages to find a hidden outline on the south wall. Smashing into this area opens up to a 10 x 10 room with a door in the east wall, towards the corner furthest from her.
This room seems to be storage. Pegs with ancient looking hooded brown cloaks are scattered on the grey stone walls. A barrel of torches, unlit, sits to her right. The door ahead looks sturdy, but unlocked.
Map to follow.

"Aha, I knew it!"
She saunters into the room, waggling her abdomen triumphantly. The frustration of her de-powered magic item seemingly forgotten, she glances around as she crosses the room and looks the door up and down for any obvious details.

Chat'cho puts on one of the cloaks, seemingly for fun more than anything else, shifting the garment so it obscures as much of her as possible before she shoulders into the large wooden door, curious to see what's beyond.

The flying worm familiar sees Chat and skwarks, briefly startling the kreen.
Niachi gets a nod that the druidess has been found.

Chat'cho jumps about a foot off of the ground. "Oh, it's just you. Sorry!"

Niachi will want to check out the other two doors flanking the treasure room with Quila's Danger Sense active. He gets out his light orb and forearm axe ready.

"See! I am not just saying that we should check every nook and cranny!" 'Muiko says as he opens the cell door furthest from the bar walls (south door iirc)

Chat'cho is crudely hooded as she enters a dusty hall with stale, thick air. The age is evident and weighs heavy. Thick, wooden, and iron-bound doors line her right. One, two, three, four in total.
To her left, it looks like there is another hall. There are four ways to this other side, but wary of traps, she holds if at least momentarily.
Vile paintings line the walls as well. Tall, thin, gangly, humanoid monsters dance and frolic, they are seen eating babies, fighting themselves, fighting other humanoids, some familiar, some not-so-familiar. They are a sickly green & yellow, heavy blemished skin and have reddish eyes and thin, wicked-looking claws.
***
'Muiko opens this door from the torture chamber to reveal a hallway with five doors. Three are open; two are shut. The two shut doors are barred from this side. Sand lines the ground and it smells of faint shit and death.
***
Attilius crashes the door down before him.
At the same time Chat sees light come from the other end of the hall as well as being startled by the noise.
The goliath sees four doors, heavy and iron bound to his left and 3 doors to his right - but he cannot see the rest of the right hand hallway. There is stale, thick air. The age is evident and weighs heavy. It looks like there are paintings on the wall, but he is not positioned to see them easily.

Chat'cho quickly slinks back through the door the way she came. "To kano with that!" She's not about to end up fighting a monster on her own a second time. She didn't see Attilus, so she assumes that something else just entered that long hall. She gently closes the door behind her again and starts sliding boxes of torches in front of it.
This done, she starts trying to go back towards the others.

The light in front of Attilius dims to his left.
Did something just leave this hall?
[Clarification: When I said paintings previously, I meant directly on the wall. Not framed or transportable.]

Attilius closes the door and heads back to the torture room to give the team a report of what he saw.
Looking down the torture corridor he says "looks AND SMELLS like slave pens. The Criterion has the same underneath its sands..."
If no one has gone in, he'll take point and move down the hall, shield up, to investigate the open and closed cells.

Just prior to that, Niachi gets a fear ping from his Xerichou.
Seconds later a spooked dust covered kreen druid appears once more.
You are all currently in the torture room.
