Wiki asked me if I had any ideas about what "the artifact" might be or anything else about the tunnel (paraphrasing), and as a matter of fact, I do. For your consideration I present the following Idea:

''Not far into the tunnel, one will notice that it ceases to be a tube made of rusty metal and begins to be a square hallway made of a very smooth, very shiny, amber-like material. Attacks against this substance do not even make a scratch, whether they are physical or magical in nature. The tunnels begin to branch off in a labyrinthine manner, but the careful observer will note that the material does not go very far down any but one of the tunnels at any given intersection. If the path of the material is followed, it will eventually lead to a small, cubical chamber in which a luminous dagger sits on a plinth of basalt. If tried, it will be found that the dagger can cut the material with ease, allowing it to be made into useful pieces for armor/shields which would stand firm against practically any assault, physical or magical (although it weighs as much as glass and is confined to flat shapes, which constrains its utility).''

''The dagger is the artifact of which the construction workers spoke. Rumors of it, and of the material, have reached Luna's ears, which is why she set the two of them to trying to find it; she has already come to the conclusion that it could be at least potentially used to guard against the magical powers of her staff, and wishes to forestall that.''

If you have any questions about this idea, or you would prefer that I come up with a different one, let me know, and I will help as much as I can.
