Until recently it was closed off, no one allowed entrance to explore and find artifacts until recently when a rather wealthy and rather sketchy man bought it out. John soon arrived at the entrance, bow in hand after taking a some what awkward taxi ride over At the entrances there where a few hired guards, a familiar sight to see around here mainly for the more higher class, Harold's Mercenaries. John only knew of them as he's seen them as guards for people every now and then in the black market As he walked up towards the large almost cathedral like ruin, clearly made of what seemed to be long cracked and withered Soapstone. It was rather strange to see something made of the material out of necessity rather than decorative like it is used now The entrance way had some vague tattered remnants of what could be assumed to have been a curtain to block the door way, the building it's self - albeit some parts are caved in so it's hard to see how big it truly was - was not as big as most buildings would have been expected however the simple work that must have gone into it was impressive in of it's self, and from what John could learn online on the way here, apparently underground is where it gets bigger, and more dangerous.

There was something fascinating about the way these walls were carved, how it seemed impossible for mere natives to do. But then again, it would no doubt have been an undertaking that involved the aid of Ilhicamina and Gaya, the patron gods of most natives here.

Boy! Whaddya want? This ain't a tourist attraction if that's what ya' wonderin' " Despite his rather crude words, he didn't seem much ill intent, more like a honest warning. It's safe to assume they have gotten several people thinking this place is a open tourist sight recently

Considering their authority, which wasn't as big as they might think it, he decided to simply speak the truth. "I'm a merc, same as you." Waving his bow around to his side to indicate he did not come unprepared.

What ever, good luck kid, that place is gonna chew you up, won't bother leaving you alive enough to spit you out though" The man patted John's back It was hard to tell if he was being honest or not, but either way John didn't have much of a choice at this point

Perhaps this wasn't a good idea. But the idea of having to work another minute in the dwarves' workshop and hearing him rave on about how he's a coward... It seemed like getting chewed up by whatever was down there was the preferable alternative. With the warning, John decided to continue down the road with an arrow in hand as well. Ready to draw and fire much faster now. A new problem was arising. "How in the bloody fucking hell am I going to find this damn sword..."

Almost beautiful, in a creepy run down temple way, but very small, looking around it was the size of about a single living room, several wooden pews rotted laid strewn about, their carving was sloppy at best Heading more towards the middle however as when... John tripped Landing face first into dirt, what first shocked him as that he tripped, what secondly shocked him was that it was very dark, what thirdly shocked him as that he landed in dirt and not stone, what lastly shocked him was that it felt like he was sliding, quickly Desperately pushing against the dirt rushing under him he managed to get on his back enough to see a light above him, the hole he tripped on getting further and further away He tilted his head back right in time to see rock rushing to meet him With a crack, John ~~died~~ was knocked out Luckily when he awoke a bit later, he found him self very much no dead, and luckily not in some weird bondage tie. Unluckily, he couldn't see anything in this darkness, he could see the light above from the slopped tunnel he fell in but it looked rather scarily small, and the tunnel seemed too shifty to climb The only thing he could make out about his surrounding was the sound of his shoe on the floor sounded familiar to the soapstone floors up in the ruined temple

John had heared about worst case scenarios like these during his free time looking at people exploring ruins just like these. Darkness is your enemy, and once you have no light, you're surrounded. Scrambling up to his feet, john started feeling around in his pockets and around his feet, just to make sure he still had his bow and possibly something he could use as a source of light. But he'd not brought anything. A deadly mistake. An idea came up in his mind. While John was not all that great with magic, he was still a fire-element. Focussing as much as he could, he attempted to flick a bit of fire from his hand. Barely enough to do any damage to anything. But even just a simple flash of fire could illuminate the room around him, even if for a second, to get a momentary look around and orient himself.

Akin to a lighter Looking around, it was... Creepy, the walls had strange, almost frantic carvings that made no sense. It didn't even look like it was in a real language And at the bottom of those frantic carvings, an old, long dead skeleton. In it's hand what seemed to be it's own broken off finger. It was a... Disturbing thing to try to play out in his head. The smell of rotted old blood and musk hit his nose. Looking around a bit more he did find an old rotted wooden door he could use to perhaps get deeper into this strange temple

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" With a lack of any better option, John headed towards the old, rotten door, attempting to open it.

Though looking at one of the torches, it could probably be relit Looking up ahead, something felt a little off about the way forward. Though he couldn't see the end of the passage way due to the lighter sized illumination he had

Slowly, he made his way over to one of the torches, still keeping his eye down the hall while he lit one of the torches. Hopefully, his fancy magic lighter would be able to do the job. Perhaps he should keep this trick in mind next time he'd be at the bar. Snapping his finger to light a cigarette was bound to get him some ass.

Left and right

John's finger landed on 'left', which he went into. As he went through the halls, he made sure to light other torches along the halls to make sure he'd increase the range of sight moreso, and would be able to tell where he had been and where he had not.
