Get inside the room, quick!

There's no time to waste! You dash inside the room, closing the door behind you. Pressing yourself to the cool wall beside the doorframe, you try to keep calm. Your heart pounds as the heavy footfalls get louder. They stop almost on the exact opposite side of the door. You can hear him, it, exhaling on the other side. You hold your breath. Seconds drag by like eons. You hear the creature sniff the air. Can he detect you?

It seems not. The footsteps return, only growing quieter this time. As they receded out of earshot, you sigh with relief. Your torch fell to the ground, leaving you lost in the dark. You pick it back up, holding it up to see what this room has to offer.

The room was a large, vaulted structure, completely dissimilar to the caves. Your torch's flickers of light caught a great stone pedestal at the back of the room. An unknown language covered the walls. The characters were jagged and blocky, unlike anything you've ever seen.

Hanging around the room are large metal poles. Atop which sit curved braziers, the kind you light in a temple or a palace. You can't see what they are filled with, but by the sloshing when you shake the primitive lamp, it is probably some kind of oil. Using the torch, you could easily give this room more light. Though it might make you easier to find, the lamp poles could keep you a better sense of where you are.
