You peer down the narrow passage to the North, trying to discern anything of value. There isn't much to see, save for the pale light itself, shimmering weakly from the long distance. There are glances of shadows moving about, but they were largely eclipsed by the glow. It isn't stable or calm, suggesting that it might be some sort of fire or living form of illumination. From how it looks, there seems to be a collection of such faint objects at the end of the hallway, fading into focus while others fade out. A faint scent comes from this way, one different from the rot and gritty dust. It seems to overwhelm the muskiness of the temple with a faint yet stark aggression. The bitter yet mature fragrance is reminiscent of some sort of herb or medicinal plant, though you are not entirely sure, it certainly reminds of something familiar to rituals in a church or holy place. Perhaps the smell was a result of the light itself? Or it could be another sort entirely. Either way, there doesn't seem to be a direct threat to your or anyone else's life at the moment from doing the casual observation. For now.

Meanwhile, in the diverging chamber itself, a slight rumbling then stirs ripples into the murky black water. But it fades as quickly as it appears. Whatever it was, it felt like it came from far below. From what you can tell, it doesn't feel like any natural quake. What kind of horrors remained here in this dying world, was a wonder in itself.
You are all left with a few options still, to go down this path further, discuss with your teammates for a bit, or to try and observe the other paths and see what beholds.
