I like the way you think, Ewyn. Let's go North then. I cannot see anything at the moment. But I suggest we light up a torch before going.

A cool moist wind comes from the Northern passage and carries with it the smell of ancient death.

Those outside the temple make a base camp in hopes that the other two will return eventually.

Inside the structure the two begin to travel down the chosen tunnel.  They walk on the strangely soft floor for several minutes.

Ceillin notices a huge slab of rock that seems to be precariously balanced on a ceiling beam.  It seems like it has been set up to fall on those that disturb it.  When he gets closer he notices that it seems like a rudimentary trap has been set up with loose floor stones that when disturbed will loosen some wall supports in the wall which in turn lower the beam, letting the stone slab fall heavily upon the unwary traveler.   In other words, don't step there.

Further up ahead you see a very dusty pile of what looks like some humanoid of some type.

Ceillen's steps carefully around the dangerous area.
"Let's have a look at the remains of that poor fellow. Maybe whispers from the past will tell us tales of our present."

Under the dust you see a humanoid with a very strong bone structure in its face, with several large facial bones that stick out of its face.  It seems like this is the way it looks, and not some result of violence.  You guess that it would stand about 6 feet tall, and weigh roughly 300 pounds as its body gives the impression that it was once much fuller with body moister in life.  It has several plates of natural armor on its chest, arms, and legs.

A well-worn by sturdy cloak is folded up under its head, as if it laid down to sleep.  It has no armor of any kind, but it does have what looks like a curved sword with a sharp smooth edge on one side and a jagged serrated edge on the other.  It looks like it could be wielded in one hand by a human-sized being (two handed for those of smaller stature).  There is also a matching dagger that is shaped in the same way.  Their handles seem to be made from some sturdy red leather, and the blades' coloring is of a darker metal.  It also appears that on the fingers of the creature there is a silver ring with a black metal line that spirals around the band.

A corpse without proper ceremonial burial is not a good thing. However, it's passing seems to have been peaceful enough and neither its remains nor its belongings have been disturbed for  a long time. That shows that no scavenger are prowling around either on two or four legs.

Just to get sure that this poor spirit does not linger in the area, Ceillen utters some words of solace and cast a quick glance to the spirit world. He does not touch the corpse.

Nothing is visible in the spirit world.  If it has a lost spirit, it isn't here right now.  Perhaps it moved on to another plane.

Ewyn squats down next to the corpse, inspecting it from several angles, without ever touching it. He is looking for wounds or other obvious causes of death.

There are no obvious wounds.  It looks like it went to sleep and never woke up.

These are what the symbols look like on the walls.

What do you think about this, Ewyn. Do you see anything useful around ? Though I would rather let this corpse undisturbed, it will certainly not miss its things...

"Hmm.... It appears that he simply went to sleep and never woke up. To me, that suggests several possibilities. There may be a creature that drains people in their sleep, such as the spirit creature you saw previously, or some sort of toxin that prevents those who fall asleep from ever waking up once you fall asleep in these chambers. I would strongly suggest that we not tarry down here long enough to test either supposition. Let us explore a little further and then return to the surface and attempt to find some sort of civilization."

You speak words of wisdom my friend. Let's go.

The temperature in the area where you are standing suddenly drops 10 degrees or so.
