If Eli and August go left, they may loop back. The other two doors go straight ahead, and the most likely to connect to a window is probably the furthest right.
A whistling sound and a draft blew at them out of a long dark recess. On one side was wooden crossed beams and fiberglass insulation, on the other side thick corrugated metal, thrust deeply into dark damp ground. Looking above there was a sliver of artificial light forty feet up, and below the ground was a creepy, dark, lumpy mass, extending into unknown shadows. Eli had moved to grazing his fingers against August's elbow, ready to grip tight if it came to it. He held the axe in the other hand, but fighting would be an extreme last resort. Eli- "Okay this has circled back around to Dark Corridors again. Oh man, oh-- ugh. It's like, you play these games and you kinda wonder, maybe it'd be fun, you know... Spooky times and adventure. I'm really not feeling it now."
August- "I know what ya mean. I'd know the jump scares were coming and I still jumped. Real life? I'd be wetting myself if I still had me bladder. Though maybe we should treat it like a video game. Check the doors first then we head onwards, we can't miss anything. Just in case. I hate to say it but the breeze suggests that's where we'll find the big boss." August started with the door furthest right and swung it open like an action hero. He didn't feel like one but no one needed know.

The door was so loose and weak it fell off the hinges with a somewhat loud noise. Eli clutched his heart. Eli- "Thank god we're dead--"
Eli- "Why'd I say that..."
He gazed into the darkness ahead, and started holding on to August's elbow more solidly. Eli- "Something moving... On the ground..." (ORIGINALLY...)The door was so loose and weak it fell off the hinges with a somewhat loud noise. August winced.

Am I supposed to be afraid right now? Oooh, a floorless room. Great." Eli turned and went after the next door.

August- "BRENT! Uhhh please don't be a snake. Lawdamimbo! I feel alive at least. Whatever we are I wanna stay that way." Against his better senses August moved inwards to see what it was. He stood straight trying to seem bigger than he was.(ORIGINALLY...)August looked around trying to make sense of what they were seeing before they left. Was this an escape path? Or another dead end? He kept an eye out behind them, checking on any stragglers."Ya gonna kept monologuing, or are we gonna see if this leads to anything? Shouldn't we at least see if it goes anywhere? I hope the others are okay. This is one funky set, that's for sure."
"Would you rather have me rambling or flipping out? It's just a way to cope. But fine, we can check it out, if you think it'll lead to something."
Eli went back to the room and approached the darkness.

August suddenly saw a ghastly thing erupt from the soil - A writhing human hand!
Eli- "!!!!!!!!"
Dude couldn't make a peep, but clutched August's arm like the damselest of damsels.

August- "LAWDAMIMBO! T-There's a hand in the dirt. BRENT? Don't tell me they turned him into a zombie??" August had to resist grabbing Eli like a girl too. Zombies really wigged him out, there was a reason Lichgate was about vampires and not zombies.(ORIGINALLY...) "LAWDAMIMBO! T-There's a hand in the dirt. BRENT?"

Eli- "Oh god, should I chop it? But-- but it could grab my feet!" Before he could ponder the implications of touching a monster with his bare tootsies, it rose from its grave! Courtney- "ZOMBIES, WHERE?!"
Eli- "AHHHH-- oh-- COURTNEY?! The fuck, my dude?!!?"
(ORIGINALLY...)It flailed around, joined soon by the companion limb, some manner of human-shaped being trying to extract itself from the soil. "AAAAIIIEEE! I take it back, Marchese. You win! You win! BASTA, BASTA!" ((STOP, STOP)) Eli gripped his axe tightly.

"COURTNEY? HOW! WHAT! This is no time for practical jokes, serious stuff Court. How'd ya do it so fast?" He could have sworn she'd been behind them with the others. What was with this place?(ORIGINALLY...)"LAWDAMIMBO!! ZOMBIES TOO? GONNA NEEED THAT AXE ELI!! MY WRENCH AIN'T GONNA CUT IT!"
"WAIT! WAITWAITWAIT! WHAT IF IT'S BRENT? WHAT IF THEY BURIED HIM?"
Eli wasn't ready to kill the thing. He prepared mentally, in case it wasn't Brent. 'Pretend....it's going after....LEO! LEO IS IN DANGER! IT'S GOING TO KILL HER!'
"GRRRRRRRR" If it wasn't Brent, this thing would DIE. He moved in front of August and prepared some kind of battle position with his axe.

It was...a Courtney? "WHAT THE FUCK? Courtney, how the fuck did you get here?"

Courtney- "There was a crawlspace in the closet back there. It dead ends at this... I think it's the outer wall. Anyway, full of worms. Not to be recommended. A hand?"
Eli- "Well, thanks for taking one for the team?"
When she got out, she inspected the environment a bit. Courtney- "This... I swear it's the outer wall. We need a bloody... blowtorch." She put both hands on the corrugated wall in lament.(ORIGINALLY...) Courtney- "There was a crawlspace in the closet back there. It dead ends at this... I think it's the outer wall.

August- "Or a bazooka! Could someone in our condition do it? I mean there's gotta be upsides right? Super strength? Being able to turn into mist?" (ORIGINALLY...)"No worries! You can have two." August gave her a hand.

Eli- "I wish. I haven't felt like I could do anything magic yet, have you?"
Courtney looked at them both a little strange. Courtney- "Oh, I better run back to the hall before they send someone after me! Later, guys!" She oriented herself and ran off.
Two doors left in the room. One looks like it would double back the way of that long hall, one would go off in a new direction. Eli- "Dang that girl is too brave! What happened to the buddy system?" (ORIGINALLY...)EDIT - She looked at August strange a second and didn't answer that. Eli remembered he felt stronger than normal back there on the stretcher, but not knock-walls-down strong. Courtney- "Oh, I better run back to the hall before they send someone after me! Later, guys!"
She oriented herself and ran off.

August- "Right? Anarchists all of them. This is why people die in horror stories. Though I don't know what trope old Court fits into.
Right, so that one might hold nothing or a couple gold coins. It goes back the way we came so let's go with a new direction. " (ORIGINALLY...)"Gosh darn it! Next room then?" He ignored the vampire comment, he wasn't ready for the "V" word yet.
