Maria's kick left the last mana flying after a crunching impact, the burning foot having pulverized the spot and left the bandit leaving a faint squeak as he collapsed. The shock might have killed him then and there, it was hard to say, but the bandit wasn't moving or even whimpering. Grasping Lissu and hurrying to the marked spot, Maria came to find the hatch on the floor, barely covered by a dirty rug, and with the rug out of the way by Lissu's hurried fingers the way down was exposed, simple stairs leading down a bit of way before a downwards sloping tunnel was brough to view. Small rods pressed into walls, shining light to the passage.<br/><br/>Leading down.<br/><br/>Meanwhile someone was slamming against the door to the dining room, some others might be  arriving through the sleeping area or the kitchen door soon though, but there was no noise in those directions.<br/><br/>Lissu rushed on ahead and paused after a moment, shouting. "It slopes down here, come on!" Her words were quickly accompanied by whistling sound of something and a surprised yelp.<br/><br/>In the tunnel a bit ahead, Lissu was pulling her shirt sleeve from the wall where it was nailed by an arrow, a wall opposite of that with several little holes in it.
