Back down in the sarcophagus chamber, it is now dark, since the green lantern and its flaming rock are now tucked away in your gear. But, after checking around carefully with your portable floodlights, everything is exactly as you left it. The lantern chains are all empty (because you have the lanterns) and the sarcophagus still points at the eastern alcove, where the elevator that squashed Marcus is sitting open, waiting for another "passenger."

Okay, so, now that we are back what do you guys feel is best to do? We know for sure that this one elevator works and that there is an extension of this network beneath. Maybe we stick to the easy, as it seems, and take the working one down, clear the block, and explore that section entirely? Then we could return and get to work on climbing down this other one. I think our goal should be to find all the lanterns and see what happens with them all in their proper place.

Well, the elevator to the lower level seems the obvious next step, Eric agrees. We may find some way to fix the other elevator, assuming it's not just somebody's sadistic idea of a practical joke, or discover where the missing elevator went to, hopefully without running into another swarm of bugs. And then there's the face in the upper tunnel, and that broken ring or gateway thing back in towards the entrance. But I vote for the route we know is there, the elevator that works without squishing its passengers.

I agree, should we hang any of the lanterns back up?

We will at least need to hang one for the elevator that we intend to use. We also need to figure a way to get the agency to establish an official claim to this site and secure the entrance. Then Marcus has a thought, If we are all down there, and someone finds the area above, takes that lamp and leaves, we could end up trapped down there. We should keep this in consideration. Of course, there may not be an alternative. Hopefully, that shaft with the collapsed elevator leads to the same place and we can try climbing back out.

It is possible that the hanging lamps being up here may have something to do with what happens beneath. Lets check out what is down there before we hang all the lamps up.
