<OOC: Probably technically Mabwe sees all this but I'll simplify things by just putting the description in the open>
When
Mabwe peels back the curtain on the south side light escapes into the chamber, momentarily blinding you.
The light is coming from a single oil lamp burning in the southeast wall.
On the north half of the chamber you see additional lamp housings but these are not burning.
The floor is littered with broken clay amphoras, a few metal decanters, cracked power crystals, and other debris.
At the southwest of the chamber you see some unfamiliar digging equipment, a couple of holes dug into the earth, small barrels, and several long lengths of rope.
Against the east wall is a large wooden table, and sitting on the table is a large iridescent object, that confuses your senses and is hard to look directly at for very long. It is vaguely oblong, or maybe triangular, and is very large in area but seems thin in depth, sort of like a shield. It is the clearly the source of the sound which has now risen to a piercing shriek.
The object has a number of short sticks arranged around it and above it in a kind of precarious spiderweb like pattern.
Finally, at the south of the chamber you see a fully intact reptile person, its back is turned to you and its huge frame eclipses that of a human that it has pinned against the wall.
