You push it left, it doesn't move. You push it right, nothing happens. You push it down, shchick, the altars panel slides down and reveals a solid box of wood with a piece of rope tied through it to form a loop.
"Well this looks completely innocuous and harmless" Elnorath says, his voice dripping with sarcasm, as he reaches into his pack and pulls out a small cloth and uses it to lift the knife out and rest it on the altar.
In the back of the drawer box there is a sheath, it doesn't share the wicked looks but the shape so you are sure it is a match. The condition of the sheath leads you to believe, the dagger wasn't carried around like a traditional dagger and was kept in the box and used for sacrificing.
Elnorath straps the sheathed dagger to his belt and turns to the rest of the group "So is there anything we want to do here or should we investigate the tunnel?"
Silene lifts her lantern into the tunnel, not only to illuminate possible creatures, but also to light the way. "We are trying to find the way down, or at least figure out where we find this Rat King. But, like, I don't know if we should rest, you know?"
The tunnel goes straight for 20 feet or so, cobwebs coat the walls, before making a right turn. You can't tell for certain but with all the walking and fight, you guess you've been down here anywhere from 7 to 9 hours.
Elnorath sighs "Well I could certainly do with a little rest, that creature did a bit of a number on me and I could do with a chance to catch my breath" he looks down the tunnel "Especially if we're going to be running a risk of running into and arachnid beasties"
