IX - The Vaults of the Dead
Although it requires most of the physical effort that the detective can muster, he is able to lift the iron cover, sliding it over to one side, the metal scraping across the paved surface of the alley.
Descending the metal rungs to the passage below, the investigators find it as still as the alley overhead. Venturing northward into the east-west tunnel, the group can see, almost directly across from their position, the narrow branch that ultimately connects to the basement of the Bishop House.
Further west, the investigators can see the breaks in the tunnel walls that they had observed previously, one leading into a natural passageway that travels north, the other providing access to a narrow cavern which winds southward.
In front of the north leading break in the tunnel wall sits a wheeled steel dolly with three wooden crates stacked on it, seemingly abandoned.
OOC: As a reminder, the map for Group 1 provides a layout of the east-west tunnel. The abandoned dolly is resting close to location 5 on the map.
