Dart-Riddled Dead Bird

A small bird carcass lies on a white tile in the sanctuary, pierced by dozens of tiny poisoned darts fired from hidden floor holes. Indy spots it while testing tiles with his torch; Satipo watches. The riddled body warns of the traps' indiscriminate lethality, even on white tiles, as Indy holds his breath and crosses with precision.
