<<I assume that if we cannot get up, then they cannot come down to us, huh?"
Illyana addresses her question to Siri, but looks at the rubble herself and
shakes her head. "Doesn't seem likely.">>
"Not at all, my frend. That first step is a doozy." Siri looks at the angles,
but it just doesn't seem likely. "Maybe if they back tracked they'd find
another way down, but I doubt it. I think the group is split for the forseeable
future."
<<"Siri, would you be able to recognize traps and pitfalls? Because I'm
pretty sure the place is full of them. Would it be an idea to tie the ropes between
us, in case anyone takes another fall? Of course, that will be a hindrance in
case of a fight. Does anyone know any good knots, so we can untie ourselves
quickly?">>
Siri shakes her head. "In a cavern I would say let us be bound. Here, I'm
afraid if one of us fall, the rest would be pulled down by weight after weight
adding to the pull."
"Our best bet is to stick close to the walls, walk not so closely together as
to not place greater stress on the floors and if there is a trap, lessen the
risk of us being caught in the same effect. We can always rush together in a
fight, but a trap gives no warning. And I've not the skill yet to give you the
warning you need."
"I still volunteer to go first. I'm small and light and quiet. I have sharp
eyes, too, and can handle locks and crawl spaces pretty well."
<<"We also need to find a suitable marching order. I suggest Siri and T's...
" She looks at T'sunami and changes her mind quickly. "Siri and Nightwind in
the front. Siri will be doing what she can to find traps and Nightwind has the
advantage of elven sight, which should give us early warning in case we are
attacked.>>
"Sounds good to me Illyana."
<<"No like such talk. Everyone leaves. Dead or alive. Not just undead that
can happen here. Horror do more than just make cadaver man for amusement and
with a body this size would welcome addition to other construct. Plus
something may yet be done for him. I not be able to but if we can find an exit
quickly enough maybe something.">>
Siri grimaces. "If that's the case, Endok, you'll have to bear him and let
Nightwind or T'sunami or Trystan escort Selwyn. Berryblood's a hefty fellow. We
could make a litter out of his bedroll, his sword and some rope that you may
drag him if you'd like."
"After thinking on what you said, I think it might be best as well. If we
can't dispose of his body that his soul might rest we need to bear him out of
here as best as we're able."
