Object
Rock Wedge for Hidden Tunnel Entrance
A chunky, irregular basalt rock roughly the size of an adult’s torso, levered into position to hold open a concealed panel in the corridor’s stonework. Its rough, splintered edges contrast with the smooth arch of the doorway it props apart, the weight distributing unevenly so part of the rock’s surface remains above the floor. Grun places it with deliberate aim, wedging it against the base of the hidden door to leave hands free for other tasks during the tense search for escape routes. The torchlight fractures against its dark grains, highlighting striations from ancient wear.
