Jaiden climbs down. She finds the decent to be supremely easy. If the rest choose to not go with, they will need a separate light source to see anything other than Jaiden and her surroundings down the hole.
(Area 15)
Jaiden, and any who choose to go with her, reaches the bottom of the pit after climbing down about 60 feet.
There is a pile of rubble and debris at the bottom of the climb. Partially buried there is Slade. He is not moving.
The room you are in has walls lined with dozens of bas-relief figures similar to the one on the sarcophagus lid in the room above. They stare disapprovingly from the walls here. Many sport crossed arms and stern expressions. A few of the statues' heads are missing, and some have huge chunks torn out of them. Others have a wierd melted appearance, as if they'd been sprayed by something terrible. A large glyph that looks like a stylized arrow points down a short corridor to the north that leads to a four-way intersection.
