Calum:
Calum looks delighted, "Ah, some interesting archeology at last!" He nods approvingly at Will taking the photo. "Good work Will, I'm sure that will be useful."
Calum will attempt to sketch the symbol in his notebook too. Once he's done that, Calum will start inspecting the area around the wall, and particularly behind it, looking for the rest of a building or chapel.

Re: Scene 13a: The Chapel of Contemplation
Mike heads on and calls after the others when he stumbles on something interesting.
Hey, looks like ruins to me.

Will tries to catch up to Mike - the ruins should make a good photograph.

Calum:
Calum is so excited he has to pause and wipe his glasses to calm down a bit.
"Well chaps, that symbol is not ringing any particular archeological bells with me, but if it's some odd regional church, that's not a real surprise."
"Let's have a look at these ruins."
Calum will head over and start trying to map the ruins in his notebook, keeping out of the way of the camera-work. Once that's done, he'll search through the ruins.

Re: Scene 13a: The Chapel of Contemplation
Prowling the chapel, you find mostly blocks of granite, half-burnt rotted timbers, and ancient rubbish. After a few minutes of walking around the ruins and preparing to take a final picture, Will takes a step back and the three men hear the creaking of what seems to be an old floorboard. What you are standing on must have been the floor of the chapel at one point, but time seems to have overgrown it with grass and you haven't noticed before. There must have been a basement below where you stand. Slowly and delicately you try to reach the safety of solid ground.

Will tries, but can't keep his balance on the unstable floor.

The floor groans and gives way you scramble for safety but it is too late. The fall smashes the air from your lungs and all you feel is pain.

Mike Peterson
Mike jumps back a bit as the floor collapses around Will and Calum. Good Lord! This whole affair seems cursed! He listens to see if he can hear any movement in the old basement and starts to look around for some way to get down there without having to climb or jump. Figuring that any basement would have some sort of access point, he starts to look around the ruins for any sort of trap doors or stairs leading downward.

Mike frantically searches around ther ruins and discovers and old set of stairs that once led into the church's basement. Unfortunately, the stiars are blocked by rubble. Blast it all! Now what? Turning away from the stairs, Mike runs back towards the car. I think there is some rope back in the car! At least, I hope there is...
Finding the rope in the trunk of the car, Mike rushes back to the ruins, out of breath. He looks around the hole for something to secure to one end of the rope, and after tieing it up, he throws the other end of the rope into the hole. He squints over the edge, trying to make sure that the rope makes it all the way down.
Mike shouts down the hole towards his fallen comrades. Any chance that you guys are going to be able to climb out of there on your own? I don't know if I'm going to be able to manage coming down after you, what with my hand and all...
Mike starts to pace nervously near the hole... Blast it, blast it, blast it... Nevermind, I'm going to come down! Getting a firm grip on the rope with his good hand, Mike slowly lowers himself into the hole. He does his best to hold on with his crippled hand, and slowly makes his way down the rope.

Calum:
"Owowowowowowow!!! Damnation and blast!!" Calum wheezes as his breath gradually comes back.
Grief, did anyone hear me panicking? Calum sits up with a groan then puts his hat and glasses back on. He glances around quickly. "Good heavens. This is like finds in Egypt. Although the dead people there are normally a bit more neatly presented."
Calum limps over to Will and looks at him. "Mike! We are definitely going to need some medical assistance down here. I might be able to climb out, but we will possibly have to pull Will up. And Will's hurt his head." I remember head injuries in the war and theye were normally a bad thing.
Noting Mike's efforts to get down with a rope, Calum strikes a match for a bit more light and turns slowly around, having a bit more of a look at the room. "What is this? Some kind of lost tomb? Why are these skeletons here?"

Will
Will tries to talk to Callum, but it hurts too much, and just gasps for breath instead.

Calum:
I know the good doc is going to be better at this than me but I don't think we have the luxury of waiting right now.
Calum starts bandaging Will up with handkerchiefs, neckties etc.
"Don't worry Old Boy, I saw chaps a lot worse looking than you back in France who pulled through."

Re: Scene 13a: The Chapel of Contemplation
Will's head wound has stopped bleeding and the blood is slowly drying on his face where it hasn't been wiped away. You're slowly coming to your senses.
Mike stumbles down into the cavern having found a rather easy way down with the help of a rope. It seems even Will will be able to climb up with some help when he comes around fully.

The room contains cabinets full of moulded notebooks.
Chained to a rotting desk is an enormous volume bound in animal hide.

Mike climbs slowly down the rope, surprised at how easy his descent was. He only lost his grip at the very end, and stumbled slightly as he reached the bottom.
Turning quickly to Will, he found that Calum had already patched Will up very well. Guess you guys don't need my help after all. Calum, you're pretty handy in a tight spot.
With the immediate concern of the health of Calum and Will seemingly under control, Mike takes a look around the room. It's like some sort of secret library down here. This is wonderful. We're bound to find something useful! Mike notices the large book chained to a desk and makes his way straight over to it.

Calum:
"Chaps, interesting as this all is, I think perhaps we should hide the hole we've made, head over to the hospital and get fixed up, and come back here tomorrow with the others."
"Mike, if you can carry it, perhaps you could bring that big book with you now?"
