Frustrated at the lack of a door where one was clearly supposed to be, Crege searches the rest of the surrounding wall for secret passages and the like as a few of the others in the group continue to ponder over the carvings.
Ism thinks on the religious implications. The scene brings to mind various rituals involving the dead, but what it is depicting speciffically Ism finds it difficult to tell for sure.
In wolf form, Sam watches as Alric and Halefax focus their attention on the skeleton's mouth, believing that the picture is trying to tell them something directly.
Testing his luck, Alric procures his wineskin and pours a bit of its contents into the opening of the skeleton's mouth. . .
Upon doing so, a slight scraping sound is heard as the wall bearing the carving of the skeleton begins to budge. It appears that the real door has been located.
It opens to reveal a dark and narrow hallway which turns and continues on up ahead. The walls here are smoother than what might be expected of stone walls within a cave or catacomb. They bear many small craters and have a soft blue tinge to them.
If the group should head down the hall, they will eventually come to a closed wooden door.
In the hall it is eerily quiet. The sound of silence rings in the ears of the companions as they leave the sound of the outdoors far behind.
At the next door now. . . will our heroes press onward into the unknown?
