Xaivan:
The doors of the cylinder open up and you enter another room. The walls here are covered in bas-relief images similar to the slender figure upon the sarcophagus lid in the chamber above. Nearly a dozen androgynous, hairless humanoids stand in poses of deference, almost as if they are paying homage to the viewer. Many extend their hands in adoration, their faces awash in adulation. Several of the statues lack hands, arms, heads, or anything else easily hacked off by long absent tomb robbers. About fifteen feet to the south, a dark passage extends from an elaborately carved arch. Only a little of this hallway is visible, however, as a large stone block obscures most of the passage. You see a small button inset into the wall near the entrance of the cylinder.

As soon as Xaivan enters the cylinder the doors swing shut and the metal tube lowers back into the ground, with the alcove returning to it's original state.

A light would be very useful, nice.
GM:
I will give a good search of the area, seeing if anything valuable can be found. I will also try to find any exits that may be hidden from view from my current location. Got a map?

GM:
Also, since I forgot, if there is a loose stone around, I will place it in the cylinder and then press the button.

Zilch shares a knowing and worried look with Adoris.
We've seen this before.
Possible Reality:
Not sure from where in Canada our GM hailed, but it's possible that he has been affected by massive freakin' floods.
Or, as a new player to the PbP boards, he wasn't ready for the commitment.
Either way, I wish him the best.
