Everyone Continuing to descend down the stairs for over 100-feet, they finally come to an end and you all stand in a corridor that leads to the east and west. With Alfie's light from the dirifglobe illuminating both paths, you can see the path to the east continues straight on with a turn towards the north at the end of the driftglobes light. The corridor to the west for 30-feet before turning towards the south.
Xynon With your darkbision, you can see that the path to the east continues to go straight ahead with a second north turn 10-feet away from the first, spaced out by a wall inbetween the corridor paths.

"This corridor," he gestures to the east, "Continues further than your light and also has a second turn off," he states simply before waiting for the others to make a decision on direction.

"The more paths the better." Mikey states as he turns left and begins walking down the eastern corridor.

“This maze of a place is definitely not my idea of a good time…” She sighs as she follows along.”It’s all so… confusing…”
“I miss the fresh air, the trees…” But she needs the riches from this place for the freedom to enjoy it.

Alfie turns his map book to a new page and writes 'Lvl 3' at the top and begins to draw out the hallway and the beginning of the various hallways coming off. "Mazes can be fun when there are no deadly traps or monsters waiting to kill you. Maybe a maze with good food or books ok gold at the end. But eastward seems as good as any other direction." and follows the group.
Reggie, now returned to Aunna's shoulder, leans as far as he can and begins to sniff at Xynon, trying to figure out what this big cat is all about.

Everyone With Mikey leading, you all advance to the east where the floor changes to a smooth marble that is caked in dust. The smooth-carved walls bear engraved imagery of mountains marbled with veins of glittering minerals. Looking down the northern turn makes you see shelf-like niches carved into the east wall, stacked three high. You can see that each of the open tombs contain dust covered bones. With Alfie's light shining to the east, you can see two more rows that run parallel with the first row of open tombs.
Xynon You can see beyond Alfie's light another row running parallel with the others. You can also see that the row of open tombs ends at the end of your vision.

Mikey continues walking eastward with the light emitting from his helm. He looks down the corridors with the open tombs in slight disapointment.
"Seems as if someone has maybe been here grave robbing already, may mean this maze is picked through?"

"Lets hope not." Alfie says, continuing to follow.
Reggie, not satisfied with how close he was able to get the first time, will come back and perch on Aunna's shoulder. After a brief think, he reaches down and tugs at Aunna sleeve trying to get her to bring her hand up to his head. When she does, he'll guide her hand to give him better leverage to lean further out to sniff at Xynon.

Xynon nods at Mikey's and Alfie's comments in turn and continues to follow alongside Mikey.
Eventually noticing Reggie's advances he glances back to Alfie and Aunna, "If he thinks he'll find fleas tell him he's out of luck," he grins and toys with cigar.

“Picked clean, maybe… Doesn’t mean they made it out.”
Aunna grins at Reggie and Xynon. “Reggie is really good at finding things…”

Everyone Mikey continues to lead you all east for another 80-feet, walking past four more rows of shelved tombs, before coming to the end of the path, with the only way to go being past the shelves.
Xynon You can see that all of the rows continue on past your line of vision. At the end of the fifth row, you can see an opening in the smooth-carved wall leading to the east.

Mikey turns taking the Northern route keeping an eye out for any obvious change from the mausoleum aesthetic that surrounds them. "Did anyone want to takea more serious look through these?"

"This one looks to open out at the end, all the others seem to continue further," he stands at the top of the fifth row with his arms folded waiting for a decision to be made.
Seeing Mikey begin to walk down the final row Xynon follows.

Xynon's noticing of Reggie, startles the little monkey almost to the point of falling off Aunna's hand and shoulder. Latched on to Aunna's forearm, Reggie quickly scurries back to her should and squints at the back of the bipedal lion.
"Reggie, be nice. Introduce yourself or stop snooping." Aflie says at the end of Reggie's little scene. As Mikey and Xynon speak, Alfie weighs the groups options, eventually coming to his own personal decision. "Well, we're not going to find treasure if we don't explore something." he says as he follows Mikey and Xynon.

Everyone Continuing to follow the perimeter of the tomb for another 70-foot and seeing no change in the walls exquisite detail of mountainous imagery, you can all now see the right turn that Xynon mentioned, except it takes a more diagonal turn to the southeast and continues past Mikey and Alfie's light range. Along the northern section of the tomb, just on the edge of the lights range, you can see a break in the wall that leads to wards the north.
Xynon The diagonal path to the right looks to split off in two directions to the east and another to the south.

Aunna brings a hand up and scratches Reggie's head gently, chuckling a bit. "Are you okay?"
Following the others, she stops when they do. Looking out at the rows, she nods, then begins to move towards them. "That is true. Won't find anything if we don't look."

Mikey continues walking past the diagonal path glancing down it briefly before continuing around the tombs to the path Xynon had mentioned with smooth carved stone. He stops at the mouth of the entrance, "Well should we?" Mikey says gesturing to the looted tombs.

At the suggestion of searching he assumes a position of guard and simply waits for the group to make a decision or move on.
Should they stay he will keep an eye out for approaching threats and otherwise stand nearby with his arms folded.
Should the group move on Xynon will once again walk alongside Mikey as they continue on
(Perception +6)

"Maybe best we leave the sleeping bones resting in peace? This path to the east seems as good as any, but Im happy to follow back that way." Alfie says pointing to the northern passage back to the group's left.
