Greetings, Netlings! 
I finally made my way down these steps and after trying all of my keys (in the dark) I was able to get this old door open. There are an awful lot of cobwebs, but most contents are still intact. As I peruse these curious archives, I will be giving you updates on my finds and attempting to present audio and visuals to you. That's about as basic as I can make it. I will try to post frequently and I hope you return often.
