(They end up in a partially flooded chamber, lined with skeletons.)

Tracker: Is this the Court of Miracles?

Chase: Offhand, I'd say it's the Court of Ankle Deep Sewage. Must be the old catacombs.

(As they proceed, they fail to notice three of the skeletons rise behind them.)

Chase: Cheerful place. Kinda makes you wish you got out more often, eh Tracker?

Tracker: Not me. I just want to warn Skye and
get back to the loookout. I don't want to get in any more trouble.

Chase: Speaking of trouble, we should have run in to some by now.

Tracker: What do you mean?

Chase: You know, a guard, a booby trap...

(And their torch blows out, leaving them in darkness.)

Chase: ...or an ambush.

(Suddenly, the chamber is fully lit, and they're surrounded by skeletons. They force them to their knees in front of a now unmasked Ryder.)

Ryder: Well, well, well. What have we here?

Skeleton 1: Trespassers!

Skeleton 2: Spies!

Chase: We are not spies!

Tracker: Can't you listen--

(They're both gagged.)

Ryder: Don't interrupt me! You're very clever to have found
our hideaway. Unfortunately, you won't live to tell the tale.

(They are led into a complete underground town, teeming with gypsies.)
