History:
"It's quite beautiful, in an angry sort of way. That weapon is of interesting make, though. I wonder if it's made of anything exotic?"
Wits will reach forward and touch it experimentally. If it doesn't explode, he'll attempt to remove it.
The weapon comes away easily, and even to Witz's untrained hands feels to be weighted nicely for fighting. It should fetch a pretty penny to the right collector.

"I say! Once I melt this down, I am certain that I could use the components to create a proper thing out of it. Perhaps some sort of fixed pipe laboratory system..."

"Or we could use it to stick bads guys with. I bet Reynard knows how to use it!

"I supposed that could be a use for it. Hadn't really of using it as a weapon..."

"Of coarse if he doesn't want it, welllll..."
Ninian checks out that alcove to the north of the statue.
The alcove contains another stone door, identical to the one that lead into this tunnel complex.
"Let's leave that alone for now."
"It's a ranseur, and yeah I know how to use it. Let's keep moving."
Heading East along the Northern passageway.
The corridor leads straight as an arrow for around fifty feet, with four sets of stairs leading ever deeper into the dark. Abruptly, the corridor ends in another stone door.
"Crap. Let's head down that southern corridor before opening any stone doors. I'd hate to get sneaked up on. We should be able to hear one open.
"I would suggest going on but either way is fine by me."
"Hmmm. Paranoia IS a valid choice for men such as we. However, I believe in blazing the path forward. This place intrigues me; it is clearly old, but how then did Tsuto have access to it? What is the tale of that strange star on the statue's book? And where did I put my whiskey?"
"We won't get snuck up on, I'm back here. Just pick a door and open it." Luc has a throwing dagger in one hand and his rapier in the other.
Dean draws his crossbow, makes sure it is loaded, then puts a shoulder into the door.
The door doesn't move, but as Dean removes his shoulder it moves back, as though it should open into the corridor you are in, rather than the one beyond. Sure enough, with a gentle tug, the door swings open easily, and soundlessly. Remarkable for such a heavy door.
The room beyond is circular, and 15ft in diameter, immediately opposite the door you have entered, is another identical door. Water ripples in a circular stone pool lined with skulls in the centre of the room. Smears of what look like blood mar the pool's rim in places.

Wits peers into the room, studying the skull pond. "I say, gentlemen, but the people who constructed this place certainly had a morbid sense of fashion."

From the shadows where the wall meets the floor, on the other side of the pool from the door you have entered, a monstrosity rises. A head, with evil looking wings attached, but no visible body, the thing is obviously not of this world...
"Whathaf+~@isthat!" Ninian aims his crossbow at the head and fires.
Luc tries not to run in fear and catch it off-guard. If within 30', he tries a partial charge with his rapier. If not within 30', Luc backs up 20'.
; Damage:
Reynard levels his crossbow at the creature as he speaks a single word in response to Dean's question and fires.
"Dead!"

As Reynards bolt hits home, the creature drops from the air to the floor, with a heavy thud.
"Something like that ever alive?" ...and continuing on.

The far door leads to another short corridoor, down another short flight of steps. Then to another door. This door leads to a staircase that spirals up for about 30 feet before being blocked by rubble, and earth....
"Ah man!" I guess we go back and try the north door if there are no objections.
The Northern stone door opens as easily and silently as the ones along the corridor did. They open into a large chamber.
This large chamber was obviously once a prison, as testified by the nearly two dozen cells that line the room’s perimeter. A rickety wooden
platform overlooks the room, with two flights of stairs descending to
the prison floor ten feet below. A five-foot-wide wooden walkway runs
from the northern edge of the platform to a passageway to the east.
Init:
"Indeed, this place has a most strange composition of rooms. What do you think it is used for?"
As you enter the room, you are stood on a raised platform, on the floor, near the cell doors, you see two of the monstrous brutes from before. They appear to be half heartedly fighting, and haven't noticed your arrival. As they claw each other, you can see the wounds they cause healing up even as they create more wounds.....
With a flick of his wrist, Luc lets fly his dagger, which misses badly!
Luc's Dagger clatters harmlessly to the floor, and the beasts stop and turn to see the intruders to their lair.
The dean draws his crossbow and moves within ranger. With a Whoosh! a bolt whizzes out of the chamber towards the monstrosities.
Dean's bolt slams into one of the creatures, illiciting a cry of pain.

Reynerd lets fly with a crossbow bolt, the crack of compressed air ringing through the chamber.
Reynard's bolt flies wide, but the Things have taken notice. They move away from each other, one moving to the foot of the western steps. The other moves to the rickety part of the platform to the North, clambering up.
