After packing up camp and heading up, they reach their destination only an hour north.

The tomb is just a little off the road, a massive door with intricate carvings around the frame in an unknown script. The characters in the script are made up entirely by straight lines. Given that straight lines lend themselves well to carving, it may indicate that whoever created this script was used to carving in stone. The door looks like it will open, as the hinges are intact, but it's ridiculously heavy and will need a lot of people to pull on those big carved handles.

Heave ho?

Don't say things like that. You'll give this place ideas.

[he pauses]

If it can think, wouldn't it have already thought about it?

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Not necessarily. Just because you can think doesn't mean you think of everything right away. And if it can think, I'd rather we didn't contribute to its ideas.

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

I guess... [perhaps he shouldn't have too much faith in the sentience]

How smart do you think it is anyway?

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Smart enough to trap us in, obviously. Outside of that...I haven't a clue.

[He was getting really tired of possibly sentient places.]

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

...Then I hope it's not any smarter than that...

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

Yeah, just think if it was smart enough to actually keep us in here...

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

...What... would it need to do that for...?

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

How should I know? Does anything about this place make sense?

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

[he sighs]

Of course... I'm sorry I asked a stupid question.

[solar-absorber.livejournal.com]

No...it wasn't a stupid question. Just an unanswerable one.

[heliotroping.livejournal.com]

Then... I just need to expect the answer to show up immediately when I ask.

It would be nice though.
