Everyone Guided by the light from Behemoth's bardiche, everyone moves back out of the room and through the small tunnel, moving back into the hall where they came. Reggie is sat opposite the secret passage and waits for Alfie to command his next order. "I guess we continue that way?" Luth looks to the west where the stairs lead into a chamber with pillars in the room.

"Back is just the entrance, so that sounds about right."
Telepathically, Alfie commands Reggie to rejoin the group. Reggie runs over and takes his place on Alfie's shoulder.

"Seems so Luth," he once again takes the lead, waiting for everyone to be ready before beginning to descend the stairs.

Mikey falls in behind Behemoth . He takes a look at the skeleton once more, muttering a small prayer to Gond.

Everyone Walking down the stairs and into the next room, you can now see there are eleven pillars in this chamber. The light of the bardiche lights the chamber and you all notice on the northernmost pillar is the skeleton of a large snake, coiled around the top of the pillar, unmoving. You then take another look around and can also see that there are staircases that descend into this room that come from 10 foot wide tunnels, leading north, south, and west. You can also see the words
Certain death this way!
Written in common on the southeast wall, with an arrow pointing towards the southern exit. The southern exit looks to be a straight corridor that continues into darkness. The western corridor looks to have small openings on each side of the corridor walls that look to act as natural shelves while the northern corridor looks to be a straight line corridor that continues out of everyone's vision.

"Must not be certain, if someone was able to leave a note!" Mikey laughs out loud at his own joke.
"So, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe?" Mikey asks to the group.

Behemoth also laughs at Mikey's joke, "Once again I'll leave the decisions to you smart types. I'd only manage to get us lost," he laughs again.

Starting south mike begins to mutter the Rhyne Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Starting at certain death tunnel he begins to point at the two other passages in order.

"They say when in a maze its best to pick a direction and stick too it. It help ensure that you find your way out. I say pick a direction and we'll keep making that turn. What do you say Behemoth? You left or right handed? We'll go which ever way you are more dominant."

Slightly confused Behemoth thinks for a minute as he grabs his bardiche and swings with both hands trying to determine which is better, a further minute later he scratches his head, "Right, I think," he pauses, "No. Left," he swings each again, "Nope, definitely right."

"Then let us turn to the right at all, or at least most, intersections. Sound fair?"

Behemoth runs a hand through his mane, "Works for me," he grins as he turns to the northern passage taking up his position at the lead.

"Catchs a tiger by the toe. If he hollars, let him go, Eeny, meeny, miny, moe." Mikey's hand finishes with the Rhyme pointing at certain death. He looks in that direction as he follows Behemoth to the Northern passage.

Everyone Making the decision to always take the right path, you all start heading up the northern stairs and into the passage, with your light of the bardiche still lighting the area ahead of you all. Once at the top of the 10-feet stairs, you continue for another 20 feet before coming to an intersection that turns right into a corridor that goes for 20-feet before coming to a closed door. The northern passage goes for 30-feet before turning into a T-junction that goes both left and right.

As the group approaches the first right turn Behemoth shines the light of his bardiche down the corridor, "So we take the first right each time?" He looks to Alfie then Mikey and Luth in turn.

"Correct. Right each time. Unless we have a need to go left first."

Behemoth looks genuinely and thoroughly confused by Alfie's response, "How can we...left first...then right?" The puzzled looking his face almost looks pained.

Mikey nods ushering behemoth to the door. "You got it!"

Still looking baffled Behemoth briefly allows Mikey to usher him towards the door before snapping out of his confusion and walking up to the door. He looks back to the others, "Ready?" As soon as he gets some form of affirmation Behemoth attempts to open the door.

Mikey stands up straight giving a curious glance at the door. "Yep!"
