Well...the two were not the disciples he would have chosen, but they both seemed capable and interested at least. Bastien supposed the thing he needed the most here was willing spirits. Both Jigano and Rexanna asked for further clarification, so he adopted his dramatic story tellers voice again.
"I was told by the Voice that the stone will glow golden, and that we will find it by statues that may point the way." Looking around, Bastien did not immediately see any statues, but there were several half-gone buildings around which could house such figures. He looked about, trying to consider which to enter. The one with a mosaic around the door? Or the one with a creeping vine framing the long-gone windows?
Eventually he settled on a large building behind him, which appeared to have been important in it's time; the ruined architecture spoke to a place of grandeur with some parts of delicate stonework still surviving. He gestured for them to follow then headed into the building, stepping over fallen bits of stone and overgrown dry brambles covered in snow.
The inside was mostly just dusty - a mostly covered roof survived. While a lot of the place was dark, it was easy to see as soon as they came in that there was a large hole in the floor. It was difficult to work out quite what was in the gap, but as Bastien's eyes adjusted he saw it had a definite floor, and some ghostly shapes that could be figures or statues if he tilted his head a certain way.
It was about a 8 foot drop. "Can you see those figures, down there? Maybe that is what we are looking for." He pointed down into the hole, looking back to see if Jigano and Rexanna would agree.
Well, there was only one way to find out. Spotting a patch of soft moss on the floor beneath, Bastien nodded to himself.
"I'm going to go and see." He said casually, then took a few steps backwards. A few stretches that were mostly for show later (he was going to feel the pressure on his muscles the next day, but he could make it without) he ran forward and dived into the hole, rolling as he hit the ground to lessen the impact and coming to a stop on the moss, which did cushion his fall. Even as a blunt pain hit his side his desire to perform won out and he stood up, posing with his arms up and a face that screamed 'ta dah!'

Work a way down into the floor beneath! (Or, don't. :P If you want maybe you could find a secret set of stairs in the corner ;) )
