"Alright then well when the torches run out we can fire up the lantern I brought. Lets get going." Mairan sighs, not seeming to have noticed that the lantern might be a good first option.

By the light of Ella's sputtering and flickering torch, the group descends.
The steps are crude, and were made by different hands than those that made the crypt and the steps curve gently. They lead down to an uneven floor which proves to be a converted natural tunnel, heading east and west.
Here again there are signs that this is a well-trafficked path for Delvers. There's more graffiti from other adventurers.
The first reads "Giant's Staircase" and is underlined with an arrow pointing west and downward.
Several feet away, there's another painted message, "sewers," with an arrow pointing east beside it.
Below it is another message, "you must be this high to enter the sewers," which is followed by a response beneath it: "OK, I guess I'll go back up and enter your wife instead."
A final bit of graffiti is written still below that: "I've had his wife -- don't bother."

Maian continues towards the sewers as well musing out loud about the scrawls on the wall, "I wonder if they've invited her to the Delver's Guild for all the work she does for member's morale."
Aeshen proceeds carefully, a few feet behind Mairan's back. He doesn't contribute to the discussion over light, never needing an external lightsource. He likely wouldn't have responded even if it concerned him - all of his attention locked on examining the immediate area they are walking through, looking for anything that may be of interest (or dangerous) to the party.

The tunnel eventually ends at a ragged opening that leads -- based on the smell -- into the sewers.
