[@Garth] [i]Enough light from outside comes through the hole in the ceiling of this room to see fairly well.  This chamber has partially collapsed: tall stone slabs that once supported the ceiling are now canted inward by the weight of the earth above and fallen debris is piled in the center of the room.  It seems as if the entire chamber could collapse with the slightest disturbance.

In the rubble, barely visible, is the corner of what looks like a large stone chest..[/i]

[@Lunar]  [i]The twigs fall away easily, revealing a tunnel about 2 feet wide that goes straight upwards.  It's too dark to see much of anything, but as she is looking upwards a ghoulish creature (same as before) drops down toward her, dirt covered nails outstretched toward the woman...[/i]

[@Fubsy] [i]The column is made of alternating stone and wood sections, arranged like an elaborate puzzle, each resting upon the next.  The constant pressure from above has slowed, but not halted, the wood's rot.[/i]
