Progress was slow, but when working by yourself, you couldn't afford chances that having a team at your back could give you. There was a method to exploring old places, and neglecting it meant death or worse. Looking at the ceiling and walls, they were remarkably dry. Whoever built this place intended it to last for a very long time, and the white mortar between the slabs of stone did very well in holding back the moisture and rot of the ages.  The light from her miniature bonfire lit the tunnel well, yielding excellent light as she worked her way in. Which was good, because Medea managed to catch herself just before she tapped an unmortared stone about 50 paces in. Taking a step back, she noticed that most of the stones in the floor from here to the double doors where unmortarted.<br/><br/>"Greetings... warrior." A soft voice spoke from behind Medea, spinning around she would see a warrior, dressed as she, but in armor from styles made long, long ago. He carried no shield, but his hand rested on a hand and a half sword that was still in its scabbard. Gauging the distance, he was at the entrance of the tunnel. The tabard and cloak he wore were thread bare, the act of moving itself threatened to tear the fabric to dust. He held up his hand in a halting motion, and spoke again in his soft, tremulous manner. "No cause for alarm, I would not strike at you from the shadows like some in here... though... we will fight." Motes of flame, or cinders danced and fell about him. He held a casual demeanor about him, as if conversing with a friend, or an equal, "What brings you to this place?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Image of the knight</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://images.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2F68.media.tumblr.com%2F5f4eececbecb6e915c731bd0ea7e64d3%2Ftumblr_o6d2zlbhJh1suac6eo1_500.jpg&amp;f=1)</div></div>
