Oldin, noticing Jiam's caution toward the staircase, realizes that action is necessary.

"Brand, please watch the way we entered. You still have the everburning torch you mentioned back at the Boar and Pig, right? Aeless, please keep watch at the staircase, but do your best to stay out of sight. We aren't exactly being quiet, so if they have heard us, you would be the first target to incoming fire from below. Please be careful."
If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving is not for you.

The half-elf nods on Oldin's suggestion, and tries to quietly be near the staircase along with his bow and blends into the shadow.

Brand nods to Oldin, and sheaths his sword. Walking back to the entrance to the room, he retrieves his Everburning Torch out of his pack and holds it up, watching down the hall.

Remaining at E4, Esias nocks an arrow and tries to watch down the staircase while attempting to conceal himself as much as possible, straining to hear any noises from below.

Ruihnait positions herself at the mouth of the tunnel (next to Brand) and assumes a guarded stance. "If they come, we will make our stand here. They will be unable to come at us more than two at a time."

Vulan watches the others, sheathing his sword he stands next to Oldin, taking a chance to look around the room.

While everyone takes up defensive positions, Leenah examines the chest. She finds it unlocked and with no visible traps. Opening it, she is disappointed to find it mostly empty. There are a few fine silk cloths scattered about the bottom of the chest, clearly wrappings for something important or valuable, but whatever was once within is now gone.

Listen and spot checks for those who requested them also reveal nothing.

"Looks like he took whatever was here," she closes the chest and turns to face the group. "So how do we want to do this, cause we are sitting ducks on those stairs if someone is waiting for us below."

Aeless, carefully positions more securely in the shadows. Watching and listening down the stairs if any breathing and whispering.

Oldin imparts his knowledge, "The lower caverns of Natchai temples are where the sacrifices take place. The Natchai are not skilled at creating mechanical devices, but they are very fond of creating mystical wards to protect their secrets. If we activate such a ward, we will find ourselves in grave trouble."

Esias gives Brand a mirthless grin. "After you, good sir knight," he invites in a tight voice. (But if Brand does start descending the stairs, Esias will follow him.)

"Bah," Ruihnait spits, "If we must go down, then let us go!" Taking up her spear, she begins to descend the staircase. The others notice that she does so with a hint more caution than usual, however.

Follows down the stairs quietly keeping her eyes open for any potential traps mundane or magic.

Oldin clutches his tome, closes his eyes, and says, "Seker, may your light shine our path to Amon, and may we find him in good health."

He opens his eyes and follows the rest down the stairs.

Brand, shakes his head and smiles, then follows Ruihnait down the stairs. Drawing his sword as he makes his way down.

Testing the edge of his shortsword with a thumb, Esias falls in after Brand.

Aeless then carefully follows suit with everyone securing their rear, as he hefts his greatsword in hand.

Vulan nods to Aeless, as he slowly draws his bow, and nocks it while decending. Taking a place at the rear before Aeless.
