Forrestal

Forrestal, a white explorer in period garb, preceded Indiana Jones into the Chachapoyan temple and died impaled on spikes triggered by a shaft of sunlight in the Chamber of Light. Indy exposes his half-fleshed, half-skeletal remains by testing the trap with a stick, then removes the body, seats it on the floor, and names him aloud. This grim discovery warns Satipo of the temple's lethal mechanisms, underscores the high stakes, and steels the guide's nerves despite his panic.
