Chan approves of your wish to investigate the yansi and asks only that you do not spend too much time there. You agree to this proviso before riding to the entrance of the burial cairn. At once you detect that this yansi has suffered an unwelcome visit from tomb robbers at some time in the past, for its solid stone portal has been shattered by repeated hammer blows. You dismount and descend a flight of narrow steps that lead down into a cool, dark chamber. At first sight this solitary chamber appears to have been stripped of its contents, but when you use your Kai tracking skills, you detect something that the tomb robbers failed to find: a concealed trapdoor. Closer examination of this hidden portal in the floor reveals that it is protected by a magical spell.
