((While waiting for some other people to post...))
The side door Almyra investigated was non-magical, but heavy. There didn't seem to be any obvious way to open the door. However, the doors themselves had many ancient designs and grooves...
The larger door did not budge from Adel's mere touch. There was a large, circular impression in front of the door on which she stood on.
Almyra shrugged when she discovered the door was not magical, she wondered if there was a way to open it, then gave a slight shiver, and decided she should get back to helping to find something to burn. She hears the newcomer speak and turns to him. "I am Almyra Bys. This place is most likely a tomb, depending on the culture, we may find artifacts that belonged to those now dead, and possibly the bodies as well. That is assuming we go deeper into the tomb, which I wish to do once we can start a fire and warm up."
“” She summons the rests of her wooden screws and throws them with what little she could find to burn and uses ignite on them. “[Hello there handsome my name is Adelheid no last name and knowing my luck this place is most likely jinxed or something]” She said as she sat in front of the bonfire and stabbed a couple of rats and bats mercilessly gut them and skin them while they were still alive. After that she put them into the fire “[Do you guys want some? There seems to be plenty of it]”She asked with the blood still on her hands.

Garth shrugged. "I guess we could explore it, but I'm not sure what good it would do us. Didn't you say that you had people still out there? Wouldn't it be better to wait for them out here so they can find us?" He said until he heard Adelheid call him 'handsome' this caused him to get flustered.
His eyes glanced over, insecure obviously and he seemed to stutter a bit. "W-what are y-you? Some kind of m-mind reader?" He asked, but that shyness quickly evaporated when she offered the rat and bat for food. He was a little more civilized than that, and thankfully he still had some of his rations. "Uh, thanks, but uh I still have some rations left." He said as he reached into his travel backpack and pulling out an apple, some crackers, and what looked like small slices of turkey.
Garth would glance back to the storm outside pondering their situation, "So what should we do? Wait here for your friends or go adventuring. While my sense of adventure does urge me to explore, I think we need to wait for your friend and see if they are okay."
Zaun science is killing far more than its saving. I want to put a stop to that!
"I believe we should wait for Elenwe, at least until the odds of survival become too low for it to be reasonable she is alive. Afterwards, we can explore these ruins." She tilted her head at Garth, studying him. "Why do you stammer when called handsome?" She looked back to Adelheid with her rodents. "I am not hungry yet."
Adel licked the blood of her fingers before putting the “dinner” in the fire. “[It’s ok] [I’m used to having my good will rejected any way] [More for little me]” “[Well the storm is raging right now if we get out we would only put ourselves in danger and not help] [Plus she seems like the kind whose only strong point is getting back into the proper path when the time comes around]” She said playing with the fire and making sure that the dinner was being cooked properly. “[No let me ask you something shy boy “mind reader?” where did you get that one?]”

Her words were drowned out by the roaring of the Freljordian winds. “…Hello!?” He screamed down. “…Look. If you-“ He felt the ground beneath him come out from under him as the sides collapsed. “Dammit!” He screamed as he fell and plummeted, bouncing off the wall once before coming to an uncomfortable crash to the ground. His lantern followed after, breaking and extinguishing on impact.
“Ugh…” His sights were set above him, dizzily. He was used to be being beaten and bruised…collecting injuries was almost a hobby. If she was around, he wasn’t sure. He was now a bit too preoccupied with his own disorientation and possible injuries. “Just my luck…” He muttered in the darkness of the canyon. At least he could hear now.
Spooks didn't think the person above could hear anything given the howling winds of the storm. So instead, she began looking around with her clairvoyance, and was relieved they found shelter. Since she'd could see them, she projected a mini-self, an image that could communicate with her fellows.
At The Tomb...
The little Spooks poofed into existence, emitting light like a mild candle beside Adelheid. The image spoke in a higher pitch than Elenwe herself. "Thank goodness! You found shelter... Ah, there are others in here as well? The blizzard is a bit too strong. We'll have to ride it out. I'm fine by the way, the crevice I fell in a fairly good shelter from the storm... Um... what is this place? "
Back at the Rift...
Spooks shielded her face as the man fell in. Quickly she came over to poke him and see if he was alive, which he seemed to be. "That was quite the nasty fall. Good thing the walls and floor are packed with ice and snow. I'm Elenwe, by the way. who are you?"

Garth sighed as his sudden shyness of course brought immediate attention to him, but nonetheless would answer all questions. "Because normally women who you barely know aren't that forward...at least not the ones around Piltover." He replied addressing Almyra with a slight nod, and then he turned to address Adelheid.
"As for your question you, most like under coincidence, addressed me right after I wondered why people were ignoring me in these conditions. I just found it odd you would ignore another person under such dire conditions. " Garth explained, though he choose to leave out the part about women. Just then Spooks' image appeared from the fire and he studied. The scientist in him practically begging to take it apart and study it.
"How curious. I would ask how you are doing that, but right now it seems improper for me to do so. From the context clues we gathered, this place is most likely a tomb..for what? Well we don't quite know that part yet. What about you? Sure you fell into shelter, but what about supplies? Do you have food at all? Warmth?" The aspiring detective inquired.
Zaun science is killing far more than its saving. I want to put a stop to that!
“[Well that explains a lot…or not]” “[At least she doesn’t seem hurt and is safe from the storm if she uses that power of her we can find her first thing on the morning after the storm has passed]” Said Adelheid mostly ignoring chibispooks and tending the fire. “[Let’s see we are on an (most likely) ancient tomb of some Freldjorian warrior important enough to have a burial that includes stone doors.]” “[So I would say that it has things of value buried with him after all it was customary to have your belongings buried with you.] […I don’t know if that custom has been dropped]” She says taking a rat out of the fire and checking if it had cooked properly. “[So what do you guys want to do? Wait here until something attack us or go in there and fall prey to some booby trap?]”

"Our priority was lighting a fire. Besides, you appear to be healthy and not in need of immediate attention." She looked at the image of Spooks as it appeared. "It is good that you are safe, and as the others have said, it appears to be a tomb. When the storm passes, we will try to find you." She turned to Adelheid. "I would prefer to explore this tomb, even though it is likely to have traps."
Miniature Spooks waved at Garth. "Oh, hello! I'm projecting my image by magic, so that I can keep in contact with you all. Yes, the crevice is definitely insulated from the blizzard, and I think I can get a fire going." The image darted in and out of Garth, being an intangible image.
She looked around the place. "Yes, it definitely is a tomb. Hold on a moment."
Mini-Spooks darted in through the first door Almyra checked, then emerged a few seconds later, going to Almyra. "I saw a small statue inside of there, plus some... bats, I think." She then zoomed to the other door. She emerged excitedly, zooming back to the group. "There's a treasure chest inside of there!" She said.
She then went to the large stone door, but Spooks's clairvoyant image seemed to hit a mystical barrier of some sort, runes of the door barring such interlopers. Mini-spooks rubbed her little forehead as she explained further. "Oof. Can't see what behind door number 3... maybe the statue and the chest have clues how to open the big door. But wait, are you guys really going to explore a tomb just because its there... to be explored?"

Almyra stood up and looked at the first door, then around at the room to see if there was any obvious way of opening it, she turned to the image of Spooks. "I see no reason not to explore, exploring is part of what I do. Have you found a way of opening the first door?"

Garth nodded his head at the image of Spooks before it ran off to investigate the tomb. He had heard of projection magic before, but never had seen it before. He approached the first door putting his hand and tried to push it open...it seemed to perhaps require more than one person? Or maybe some magical words? Most likely not the latter, but you never know.
Garth pulled his beret hat on tighter and activated his augmented eye to search for anything that the average human eye might miss. "Well I suppose we could go exploring, not sure what we might achieve, but perhaps there will be something we can use to our advantage."
Zaun science is killing far more than its saving. I want to put a stop to that!
She approximated the left door the one that contained the statue. "[Those things normally have a switch or something somewhere]" After a looooong fruitless search for the interrupter of the door she wasn’t able to find it. "[That’s it!] [Someone replace me before I blow up this stupid door!]"
