Lydia returned to the chamber with the others, "The stirway leads to a tunnel that slopes upward, I couldn't see any immediate threats... someone carved these steps however, and I think we should use them." She looked at the newcomer, "Do you have some idea how long you laid there? This fire couldn't of lasted very long, and I'm not sure that we should remain here."<br/><br/>She looked about the room, "My suggestion is to put it out and leave anyone who may be down here in the dark. If they light a fire, we will see it from behind before they see us and can ambush them from the tunnel above... If they fled up the stairs, they may not expect us to move quickly after them... in either case, upward gets us closer to the surface and away from all of these damned bugs."
