Chapter 4: The Descent

Ignoring your task, you press the button for the ground floor. The elevator lurches downward, and you feel a sense of relief. But as the elevator descends, the lights flicker and go out. The air grows colder, and you hear whispers in the darkness.

The elevator stops, and the doors open to reveal a basement lit by torches. The walls are lined with iron chains and shackles. At the far end of the room, a figure in a hooded cloak stands before an altar, chanting in a language you do not understand.

Do you:

Approach the figure and demand an explanation?

Retreat back into the elevator and hope it will take you back up?
