"Alright, lower the lantern..."

"Gently..."

Peri'k held his hands up, ready to catch the light source that was being lowered down to him on a rope. The team had learned to be cautious since last time. When they lost one of the men during a descent into the dark.

Losing someone is never good. The morale takes a severe blow, always. Though oddly enough, not so much with Peri'k. The old Redguard was more formal about it. Perhaps a leader instinct?

"Got it!"

The man yelled up, making his words echo through the large hall.

"What can you see?!"

"Sand! As always..." Peri'k replied to the voice above him.

"Can I come down?!"

"Yeah you can!"

Not long after, Peri'k and his assistant were both down the large hall. They had to Rappel quite a bit to get here... These halls were about 400 feet high. The duo looked around, into the eerie but silent darkness that surrounded them. The floor of the hall was completely covered with dunes of sand, who knows how deep. They had to thread carefully, otherwise they might sink down any hole and meet their untimely demise.

"Hey! Give's a bit more light!"

Peri'k said softly, not looking back to his assistant whom looked up from his toolbox.

The younger man simply did what he was told. And together their light revealed at the other end of the hall a bronze plated half-open vault of sorts.

"Now THIS is interesting..."
