*****************************************
The two agents of the Villa are ready to go: there are 68 hours left until the impending disaster. Corco's nephew Larentio sends them off. Larentio takes one of the metal books, and opens up a diagram of deep mines by folding out nine pages to make a large map of the tunnels. He has each of the travelers hit a tuning fork in harmonious tones, then hits a third against the book, and touches it to the map. The tones crescendo, and with a flash of light, the pair are somewhere else. Somewhere dark. somewhere underground.
Surprisingly, there is just a little bit of light. small stones in the wall provide just a tiny bit of light. They are in the midst of a long hall. Or perhaps a short stretch of road: the two can be hard to distinguish underground. there are cave-ins at both ends, but they know of a way to exit through one of the many doors lining the passage. This area was under active construction back when the stone melders were directing excavation, but it has little to no metal, and so excavation here has stopped.
