"Southeast sounds fine to me Dr.," Nick says. "Whatever you say. You're the professional here."

As the group proceeds through the tunnels, Cade will do his best to monitor the tunnels ahead, via the PDA and it's movement sensors. He will try and be as subtle as possible about it, in fact he'll have an earphone in, so it makes it look like he's listening to music, or what not.

On the way through the caverns, Nick noticed that several of the tunnels had pathways worn into them, as if numerous people had been walking down them for hundreds of years. Not surprisingly, the tunnels with these noticeable paths appeared to be the shortest paths between the various large caves and rooms on the map.
Cade didn't notice anything unusual on his motion detector as the group moved through the tunnels. No unusual blips or signs of anything else in the caverns but them.
Eventually, Dr Ryland led the team and his staff into another, long cave.
There had been a rather sturdy door at the entrance, but it had collapsed years ago.
Nick could tell a few things about the room. Judging by the layout, the remains of the door and the heavy stone chests against the back walls, this chamber had once been a treasure chamber holding inestimable riches. However, whatever treasure had been long since removed. The chests and the room were empty of anything shiny.
What was more interesting to Nick, however, were the engraved walls all around the room. They had been carefully smoothed, and had words carved into them by some unknown stone mason in ages past. To his expert eye, they looked like a history, presumably of this complex. Something of far more value to an archaeologist than any mere treasure.

Nick tries to make a little more sense of the writings on the wall. He will not speak aloud as he attempts to translate, thinking it better to keep any pertinent to himself and the team (Decipher Script +11).
Meredith stares at the underground chamber in awe.
"They dug this place out of a cave, carving it like this with nothing but torchlight...get some shots of this...all the walls. Make sure to include the writings. This is incredible. All this time, there's been these rooms under the Temple of Delphi, and no one ever knew before."
She shines her flashlight around, staying near her 'crew' as they start to move through the chamber, snapping shots as they go.
