Mr. Handy,My google-fu is weak.
"I salute your education, Alice," said Owens warmly. "Mr. Glynn, surely not kids. If those people in the village represent the locals then I would say it's impossible--unless," he wondered, "they have access to knowledge but do not understand it really?"

"Thank you," says Alice. "Well, we'd better bring that skull on a pole with us. I have a feeling we're going to need it."
OOC,I didn't use Google, I just happened to know it, but without the initial translation I probably wouldn't have gotten it. [b]Alice[/b] actually flubbed her roll.

OOC,I think we're supposed to be relying on what the characters would know, not our own knowledge or using google.

"Absolutely, Mr. Glynn, and very happy to have been," said Owens and bowed.

"How long have we got?" asks Alice, snatching up the pole with the skull on it. She takes this seriously. "Do we have enough time to make it through to the other end, or had we better turn back?"

""I don't... I don't know," says Isadora, breathing heavily. "I had this terrible vision of rocks collapsing and men screaming. It might be just the place bringing out the worst of me -- but I cannot be sure. Sometimes the things are see are real."

"Maybe you didn't see the future, but the past," says Alice. "Remember that article we found about the tunnel collapse?"

The heroes venture on, perhaps somewhat more warily now. Perhaps the darkness and the dank odour, combined with their knowledge of the tragic history of this place, oppresses them. The occasional flashes of light along the rock walls seem to add to the otherworldliness of the tunnel.

After about ten minutes of trudging along the tracks, the companions notice a nimbus of light playing down from the ceiling of the tunnel onto the ground. There is a pungent smell here, like ammonia. Getting closer, they see that it must be a ventilation shaft.
Everyone,You can roll Listen.

"Did you hear that?" asks Alice, pointing up at the shaft. "There are animals moving around up there. Bats and birds from the sound of it."

"Is there any way to access the ventilation shaft?" wondered Owens.
OOC:   How wide is it?

OOC,About 10 feet across. It’s too high for you to reach without a ladder or something, you’d have to access it from above.
