As you descend into the darkness below the stairs give very little room for you as you stand two by two heading down the stairs with Quentin in the lead. The light seems to be eaten up by the dark and musky air that soaks into your lungs as you go further and further underground. As first walls of the stairs are to your side and then you feel them vanish. A simple torch light shows you that below you is darkness far below where you are heading. A trickle of drops can be heard somewhere far in the distance.

When you finally reach the edge of the stairs which lead to a giant old rusty door. Two torches are on each side of the door and on the sides of the door are huge walls of stone as high as you can see. Almost like a small village appears to be underneath the house itself.

Looking closely to the ground you can see that there is track marks of people walking down the stairs. At the edge of the platform you can look down into two pits of abyss that are on both sides of area you are standing.

"Perhaps it is best settled later."  Aeress had said earlier to the inquiry of her state.  She did look quite ghastly though, being pale and bloodless.

Nonetheless Aeress took up in the formation, her longer weapon allowing reinforcement even if she weren't on point.

"A trap?"  Aeress asked.  It seemed obvious but what manner of trap?  "Clearly, but what is its mechanism?"

“You had a rope” Lirian said to Olix. “May I suggest the first one to cross to do it secured with it? Even more, I suggest everyone to cross this pseudo bridge so secured…” she suggested, seeing the pits. “If there’s a trap, it probably would be to make people fall to the pits…”

Nonetheless, she looked the ground, trying to see if there was a steps mark that could show where to put the feet when crossing.

"This also might be another bit of trickery."  Piper reasoned.

She hopped down from Mosii's back and took a look around then gave a little shrug.

"Only one way to find out."  Piper announced before stepping forward and beginning to cautiously head for the door.

"Olyxs rope was lost in the house. Aeryss still has hers" Hunter commented.

Jenkins went forward looking closely at the tracks to see if they avoid certain places.  She takes care to stay on the path with the most traffic.
