While Kiya and DQueene hovered over the little treasure chest, the rest of the group (as far as I could see) was climbing down into the hole. All I could see were their legs, of course, but I knew their knees better than their faces anyway -- being short, I learned to adapt.
The bottom of the pit was getting crowded, so I called to the group, "Some of you could come in here. There's plenty of room, just watch your heads and try not to splash about in the muck."
While I waited for the group to sort themselves out, I started studying the coat of arms painted on the wall. It didn't make much sense to me, but I doubt that it was painted for my benefit. But it was painted here for some reason. I wondered what that reason might be.
