As he has no real method for assisting in the removal process itself, Javliex keeps his drow eyes on the chamber they are in. Creaks and groans can be heard every few seconds as the caves strain to maintain their integrity.
As the rocks begin moving out of the doorway and into the small chamber they stand in, Javilex begins to notice small cracks that have formed in the ceiling above them. As certain parts of the blockage are removed, a crack here and there splits apart wider by an inch or two, and Javliex is quick to alert the people in front of which sections they should leave alone so as to not bring the roof down upon them all. It is a slow process and it strains his eyes and ears, but Javliex is able to help keep the roof over their heads.
It seems Rantyr is spending more of his energies on cursing and muttering than on actually moving the rocks. It isn't long before he tires out and moves to the back.
Djaar prefers to stay back and not participate in the rock lifting, recognizing his lacking ability and exerience in operations of the kind.
Instead, he focuses on trying to discern wether something's still going on on the other side of the rubble.
The tunnel is proceeding, after about 10 minutes it extends a fairway back into the collapsed cavern. So far it looks the collapse was pretty complete.
Unfortunately that's when the ritual finishes. Neither Djaar or the Arcanists was able to make out anything other than that it was an unfamiliar ritual. Djaar is pretty sure there is not much going on except chanting, and that Loth is not mentioned. He feels a piercing ache in his skull and for a moment sees lines of multicolored strands being pulled and twisted. One seems to pass right through him.
The dreadful purpose of the unholy rite begins to become more clear when the flesh starts rotting away from the dead Caliban's body. Baleful red eyes open in the dessicated remains of his face. His hands, now literally claws reach out to rend the living. New stirrings and rocks shifting can now be heard from outside the alcove.
OOC: Roll initiatives, but you don't have to post in that order.
the back corner is now filled with rubble. Drisdhaun and Vorgrym are adjacent to Caliban. Djaar is as well, but has cover from him.
The tunnel you are digging provides complete cover from Caliban, and either of the to diggers can start inside it (prone) if they want.
The spider is clinging to the wall in Javliex's space.
the undead Caliban is prone, and probably immobile, still half buried in rock.
"Well, that is interesting." Rantyr seems genuinely fascinated and strangely unperturbed by the transformation that has overcome Caliban. "A pity I did not hear the ritual myself. It could have proved useful."
OOC: Initiative 13 (forgot to add +2 for warlord bonus in invisible castle).
