Message: <blockquote data-quote="helium3" data-source="post: 4643758" data-attributes="member: 31301">With that taken care of, Petra gives the unconscious Sea Devil a single venemous look, and then turns and heads back into the temple. He leads you through a series of hallways that terminate in an infrequently used portion of the temple. At an inconspicuous, padlocked door he pulls a skeleton key from his sash, opens the lock and pushes the door open.The room beyond is dark. Petra grabs a guttering torch from a sconce in the hallway outside, ushers you all in and closes the the door behind him. In the flickering light from the torch, the windowless room is haphazardly filled with crates of varying size.Petra gestures in the direction of a particularly large pile of crates in the corner. "Those need to be moved. Be mindful of the floor underneath. It may be weak." It takes Horto and Zarathas only a few minutes of effort to uncover what he means. Below the stack of empty crates, old dry-rotted boards cover the opening to a flight of spiral stairs. "Move the boards as well, please." As the two men comply with this additional request, Petra roots around in one of the crates and pulls out a battered, dusty old lantern. He shakes it a few times and it sloshes faintly with the sound of oil. He lights the lantern and hands it to Pieter. "Any other sources of light we can have would be useful. The rooms below should be empty but you can never be sure when dealing with the tunnels."</blockquote>
