The first team lined up at the entrance of the temple and started to go down the stairs. Since the stairs were relatively wide, two files of them were able to move rather smoothly and did not face any problems.

But half way through, they could feel the increase in temperature as the air got hot. By the time they actually reached the bottom of the stairs, they were already sweating like an Eskimo in the Sahara.

"Let's just do our jobs quickly so this stops." The leader of the team said.

"YES!" they all replied in unison.
