So, only Clovis and Melody climbed down the stairs. Clovis's sword remained on his hand in case he found something unexpected.
"There are still no sign of life here," said Melody while maintaining a close look at the radar.
Once they reached the bottom, Clovis pointed the flashlight to the village and turned it on, illuminating the entire village.
