Who: Indy and The Major
What: Getting the Scorpion Stone
When: first of the year

Indiana's suspicion about the spice box was correct. While he loathed to use a lot of force to pry off the hinge, but the contents - an astrologer's map and a torc bearing the sign of Scorpio was the real prize. He quickly filed for leave, and left on horse back before the paperwork is clear. He knew there was at least one other bidding on the box.

With a sexton, he was able to find the temple indicated. As he came over the hill, he slowed his horse to a stop, his instinct told him to stay still as he sees that he wasn't alone at the crumbling centuries old building.

He slowly descends, waiting for his eyes to adjust to the darkness not daring to light a torch. Indiana strains to listen in as he slowly feels his way down.

The man tenses as he felt something press down when he steps. A low rumble fills the air. Oh shi-!

The stairs suddenly popped down, turning into a smooth, slippery surface - he quickly grabbed for a torch holder or chain to try to keep his balance.

The Major and his colleagues, fortunately, have not noticed the stairs popping down into a slippery surface. They've already reached the bottom of the stairs. The Major looks to his back a little after hearing the rumble from above, gives a smile, and simply presses onward. His men whispered directions to him and all the spots on the ground that seemed to stand out. Down the staircase is a long hallway that the men continued to move through... a little bit more cautiously than on the staircase.
