As the thick metal door slowly rose with Hao's straining groan, a cavernous space opened up to them.
With all his strength, Hao threw the door up, causing the entire place to tremble violently.
Northern, startled, looked up and looked at Hao.
"What? Ya gat a problem with me?"
Northern shook his head with a forced smile, "Aha, not really. Just the door."
"It won't fall on ya head so move!" He exclaimed, prompting Northern and Ellis to trudge into the space before them, albeit with 'extreme caution' and 'persistent looking up.'
As Northern and Ellis walked inside, they were greeted by the high vaulted ceiling supported by thick, weathered pillars that seemed to groan under the weight above.
The floor was uneven, cracked flagstones jutting up at odd angles, creating treacherous footing.
Weak beams of light filtered in through high, arched windows, coated in a thick layer of grime and cobwebs.
