After some minutes searching, the hidden switch was found .. or rather, switches. There were two, one set on each side of the central area they were trying to access, away from the door itself. Whoever had designed this, it would have been all but impossible for a single individual to open this door, and if a single switch were discovered, the fact it seemed to do nothing would serve to convince whoever found it that it was either designed to open (or safe) something else, or simply be a trick.<br/><br/>The hidden passageway led downwards, a squared spiral that brought them down a good 50 feet deeper than they had already been. From there a corridor led straight out, in what seemed the direction they had previously been moving. Ahead, light could be seen flickering, light that grew in intensity as they made their way carefully along the corridor. At the end it opened out into a large room, far larger than any they had thus far been in.<br/><br/>About 1/3 of the way along was a massive stone brazier, a great mass of flame roaring in its heart, and casting dancing shadows around the room. As far again beyond it could be seen a raised sarcophagus. Flanking the room were two sets of pillars, with ornate plinths set between each, on which sat what would presumably be treasured possessions .. weapons, armour, jewellery or other items. Around the walls were alcoves in which sat other items, and countless gemstones and silver and jade coins that spilled from rotted boxes and bags, treasure enough for a hundred lifetimes.
