4. Footway Robbery - Waelass

[Interovegas]

Finch forces the matter by proceeding forwards. The others form a trail behind him and anxiously follow for the time being. Beyond the threshold the ceilings rise to a comfortable level for ordinary humans. Everyone find themselves able to take deeper, fuller breaths. Somehow, air is circulating in these black depths. The simplicity of the stonework conveys an ancient quality about the tunnel and the path beyond. It takes several dozen paces to travel the length of the passage. Along the sides are empty small alcoves beginning at about waist height. At the other end of the passage is a thirty by thirty foot room hosting a stairway and a curving tunnel. Faint hints of reflected light from both exits indicate this forgotten catacomb is still in use.
