You climb into the hole and crawl through the tunnel. When you reach the end, you find yourself in a hallway, but notice that it is extremely different from the previous room. The walls in this room are made from metal plates, quite similar to the underground maze, only much newer. An opening of what appears to be some kind of chute on the ceiling suggests there was probably an alternate enterance that was overlooked. The ground of the hallway is made from packed dirt, but you see no footprints.
"Stop!" you hear Shuriken yell as you start to walk down the hallway. She points at a vertical row of tiny black dots on the wall. "You missed those," she says, kicking some of the dirt off the ground. Indeed, in the cloud of dust you can see thin red lines going across the hallway. "Secrurity lasers," she explains, "probably triggering a trap or signaling guards."
"Glad we have some ninja skills in the party," you tell her. She mumbles something along the lines of "I'm not a ninja."
"Wow," says Fawriel, helping L33tz4n climb through the tunnel with her injured arm, "it's a lot less dramatic when you can see the thing that triggers the trap."
"Indeed. Any idea how to get around it?" Shuriken asks, "these bars are too close together to fit though, and the dirt's only about an inch deep." You are surprised she mentioned this, because you thought you'd be the only one to think of digging.
