The Champions quickly search the area, including the nearest open room. Most of the plant-kobolds' equipment is primitive. Their spears are little more than sharpened, fire-hardened sticks. There are, however, several strange objects discovered:
* Four more of the small cards.
* A metal cylinder about a foot long and three inches across its base. One ends sports what appears to be a small lever.
* Two egg-shaped metal objects. One end is flattened. This flattened area has a small dial and a small lever.
* Four gems: a tourmaline, a red-brown spinel, a black pearl, and a small piece of malachite.
Leaving the carnage behind, the Champions return to the entrance. Nothing has changed. The door leading back out to the mountains remains closed. The circular pit leading down to the lower level yawns blackly.
Settling in for a well-deserved rest, the group establishes a guard order and makes themselves as comfortable as possible. The hours pass without incident, except for one event. The door leading back out to the mountains slides open. Sunlight spills into the strange place. It remains open for a brief time, and then slides closed once again.
