The rope, along with the pitted and scarred wall of the elevator shaft, makes climbing down reasonably easy. At the bottom, the Gamma Team climbs over the shattered remains of the elevator into a room that can best be described as a foyer. Dozens of bas-relief figures similar to the one on the sarcophagus lid in the room above stare disapprovingly from the walls here. Many sport crossed arms and stern expressions. A few of the statues’ heads are missing, and some have huge chunks torn out of them. Others have a weird melted appearance, as if they’d been sprayed by something terrible. A large glyph that looks like a stylized arrow points down a corridor to the north. The glyph is the same one seen on the large statue in the "bedroom" beneath the yellow lantern:
Ten feet down the corridor is a four-way intersection, with corridors branching east and west. Ten feet beyond the intersection, small alcoves are carved into the walls. The long corridor ends with a set of descending stairs. Five feet down the stairs, your floodlights reflect off the surface of water. It appears the complex is flooded beyond that point.
