Tentative Plot Prognosis
After exploring a queer underground ruin (after falling from some height thanks to some pithole that they had the misfortune to fall into), deciphering its devices and secrets, fighting off small groups of frightened rats, spiders, bats, and the occasional Lantern Archon (which, in this scenario, we'll assume can exist in the mortal plain, and is horribly scared of light), you find yourself eying what looks like a sunken temple in the middle of the lake, it's lights on, and a mysterious walkway that allows walking and breathing (through magick) from the underground ruin (which, after much deliberation, you assumed to be very similar to an airport of modern times) to the sunken temple.
The temple has the architecture and design structure of the Gothic era: creepy, awesomely beautiful, and would terrify anyone to believe in the power and wrath of G_d. In the center you find what looks like a winged boy just sitting on the altar.
"Watch out!" The boy yells as you make your first step, for it ruined a trail of magickal salt that formed a circle around the hallowed place. Upon breaking the circle, another smaller binding circle appeared surrounding the boy, while a gigantic Lantern Archon appeared from nowhere, angry, and ready to attack.
After a fine battle (with your other five allies to help), you manage to free the boy and you find time to explore the temple. It was a curious little thing -- particularly the altar, which was possessed with some form of energy. Holding your hands above the altar made a device that resembled a QWERTY keyboard appear to float in the air, while magical screens appeared with it, detailing the temple's statuses (among them being Life Support, Power, and other things). In confusion, you decide to press a few buttons, which cause the entire building to stir and, after a small while, you realise that the entire temple has risen above the waters and, at the moment, continues to rise until you're above the clouds.

So... what would you do next?
