Lyra is relived to finally see her companions. She steps into the room and starts hugging everyone close by.
"I thought that many of you would have died in the fall. Oh, I'm so glad to see you alive. We wouldn't have found our way down here if it wasn't for Andre here. He followed us from Haven to find Siri. And we are very lucky that he did. How is everyone? How is Selwyn?" No one can get a word in edgewise. Lyra is babbling up a storm.
"This is why I am here, to warn you Siri, to be on your best guard. I wish it was happier circumstances. I wish I could tell you that you are free of him. I'm sorry that I could not to better."
With that he looks down at the ground, a sad look on his face.
Lyra looks from Ander to Siri. "Um, I don't mean to intrude here but... Siri, if you need help I will gladly help you. Ander. Will you be joining our group? I do hope that you are. I was wanting to spend some time talking to you about your travels."
"Lyra, Grendahl, it is good to see you again! We knew that you'd be safe. And now, perhaps, we'll be safer knowing that you came down here so therefore there must be a way back up. "
Lyra looks to Siri now a bit confused after hearing her talk to Ander like a son and mentioning a husband. She looks no more then 16 human years old. Is she and elf in disguise?
"Well, Siri, we have a small problem with the way down. It was a rope climb and a drop. So..... We still need to find another way out."

Subject: [Parlainth] PBeM Grendahl and Lyra
Figuring that you have no better options than to climb down the hole, you attempt the feat. Grendahl, being the first to go, climbs part way down the rope but then loses his grip and falls down but takes no damage, as his armor protects him from the brunt of it. Lyra climbs down next, but she too loses grasp of her footing and hold on the rope, and falls down. Having no armor on, Lyra suffers some minor scratches.
Next is Andre, who manages to climb down the rope, but as he attempts to climb down the rocky surface he loses his footing and slips, falling down a few feet but suffering no damage. Andre looks back up to where he climbed from, "Well, that was a little harder than I thought it would be. Are you alright Lyra?" he reaches out to the elf, making sure she's alright.
You look around and find that you are in a 10 by 10 room that looks more like a storage room than anything else. Nothing is left in this room, except for a few pieces of torn rags. The door is swung wide open and is made of gray steel. You exit out of the room and find yourselves in a long, wide corridor of about 10 feet wide and at least 60 yards down the one way to your left. To your right, the corridor ends after approximately 10 feet to what appears to be a large cross section. Across from the cross section you can see what seems to be broken pieces of crates.
Andre steps into the cross section of corridors and looks around. "I guess we have our options about us don't we? We better stay quiet if we want to avoid having anyone or anything finding us. It would be nice to yell out for Siri and your companions, but I feel that we may attract unwanted company if we do so."
Lyra manages to notice some footprints on the ground in the cross section. Using her innate ability to track, Lyra is able to determine that the tracks are most likely related to her companions and quickly follows them over by the broken pieces of crates. Grendahl quickly follows in suit, followed by Andre. You all make careful care to avoid stepping on the crate pieces. Unfortunately, however, Andre manages to step on one of the pieces making a crackling sound. Still you continue to tread through, hoping that no one heard the sound.
You see that right past the cross section and right through the crate pieces is an open door. Lyra peeks through the door and almost falls over by what she sees. At first she seems startled as if to ready combat, taken so quickly back by the large lizard and figuring it was a creature at first. But then she quickly realizes who it is, and a sense of calmness finally rushes over her. Grendahl is quick behind her and also sees the large lizard, as well as another friendly face. Siri. You have found your companions.
Andre, upon seeing the young human quickly speaks out to her, "Siri!"
<Climbing results using the rope (+4 steps to climbing) were Lyra: 10 and Grendahl: 10 against a 12. Lyra suffered 5 points of damage. >
