[from here]Indy descended the stairs cautiously, listening for any sound other than the usual fountain noises. He didn't catch any. This time, though, he did grab the nearest candle from the wall as they entered the room. As far as illumination went, it wasn't much, but it was better than stumbling around in the dark ( Read more... )

They had made it this far, but in many ways this was only the start of the battle. Harvey didn't have much of an idea of what laid behind these doors, just vague hints. It seemed like anyone who came down here decided to keep their mouth shut about it, which both intrigued him and worried him.

"Surely not," Indy half-scoffed, but if he was honest, it wasn't such an absurd proposition. Who knew what opened doors around here.

Only one way to find out, though. He reached out and gave one side of the heavy double doors a strong push. The door swung open so easily that the force of the motion almost sent him tripping forward along with it.
