This pyramid seems to be laid out in the same manner as the previous one; although with the presence of other people, there were none of the damnable spiders. Movement had to be very slow to prevent the sound of steps from echoing on stone. Stone is such an excellent transmitter of sound. Arriving on the next level, the voices become more clear, especially for Brock. Though he does not recognize the language, it is definitely neither Ansylin nor Centrin. The flicker of light comes from the central portion of the level where the four tunnels should meet, indicating that actual flame is being used for illumination.

A single figure is seen quickly crossing the intersection ahead and the party halts, everyone holding his breath. Even the beat of one’s own heart seems loud in such conditions. The figure returns momentarily and continues back the same way as the approach. The sound of a person climbing stairs is heard. The runner has gone above. At this level there are four male voices coming from what should be an anteroom to the right of the intersection. They do not sound pleasant. There is a whimper that sounds female.
