"Yeah, fair enough, probably not him. Still, he sent you here and someone collapsed the entrance and I'm starting to suspect Occlus was not the one who actually sent me the message to come this way."

"A trap for you... someone wants to hurt Lord Occlus."

"Yes, that's old news. ...did the overseer ask you to come here personally or did you also get a message?"

"In person."

"Yeah, don't know, then," she shrugs, as if that's of not much consequence. "...by the way, I was impressed by the staff. Why'd you pick it? I mean sure ancient magics, but..."

"It's what I'm best at."

"Had you used it before?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"In the dueling championships."

"—ah. I see. Probably more than I can say for myself, then." She dusts herself and looks around again at the tomb.

"We need to find a way out."

"Mmhm. I suppose it would be a terrible idea to try to uncollapse the entrance. Do you have any information on alternate routes or are we going on an adventure?"

"I don't."

"Adventure it is!"

..Yay?

"I hadn't finished exploring this place by the time I heard the noise so I think I'll go do that."

"Okay."

She can go to the next place. She had been in the reliquary... was there anything left to explore there? Maybe go there anyway for signs of an alternative exit.

She hadn't spent much time there. She could easily have missed something.

Reliquary-wards again!

Lots of stuff in various containers.

Brin examines the walls.

Examining the walls is a good idea, too.

She does the obvious stuff: places that are mysteriously lacking in dust (or patterns in the dust that might indicate wind), breezes, fresher air, slightly moving cloth...

This one panel looks promising. No obvious mechanism to open it...

Promising how though, she kinda doesn't want to blast it and cause Traps And Mayhem.
