"Huh, why is this combination lock so complicated?" he asked himself.
With a lot of effort, he tried to match the symbols on the back of the scorpion relief with those on the combination lock.
"Ah, I really need more practice solving puzzles like this." After spending about two hours, with short breaks in between, he finally managed to unlock the door.
He then called Jagu to enter the next room with him, without even glancing at what was inside.
The next room turned out to be a massive hall, with towering pillars lining its sides.
A staircase stood at the far end of the room, and at the top of the staircase was an altar with a pool of water inside.
He stepped in cautiously, and so did Jagu, who seemed to understand the need for extra care.
Moments after they entered, the door behind them suddenly slammed shut, trapping them once again.
Grumbling, he began to examine everything in the room carefully.
