The mechanical click and wooden wheeze of yet another conquered doorway broke into the sound of faint torchlight, distantly cackling against the yet more distant sound of water. Yvah stepped into the study, head busily turning this way and that as she examined her surroundings. Silently, she pointed out the symbols of various different religions, just about any she'd heard of in her time in the city, plastered on the wall. She also took note of muddy tracks along the ground, almost exclusively leading back and forth between the cathedral and the underground passageway. She couldn't make out how many tracks were fresh. 

"Ceria," she called, "These prints, do any seem new? Too new?" She gave a grim expression for a second before she felt the need to elaborate. "What if someone was in here and ran from the fighting? We could be walking into an ambush." 

Yvah offered a moment for an answer, but her action would remain the same regardless. She found Ary and tugged at her clothes until she followed. Yvah pulled her through until they came to the mouth of the stairwell. "You look sly like me, so you come with me," she whispered to Araerys. 

"We're sneaking ahead. Stay back about far enough that you can hear us if we scream." And with that, she slipped through the stairwell in a skulk.
