Math for Stairs
Ok Stone Shape allows us to do 10 cu ft +1 cu ft/level.
Which means Nyla being a 6 level caster can do 16 cu ft. per casting and I think 3 castings per day.
Aaron (a.k.a I) being a 7th level caster can do 17 cu ft. per casting and 3 casing per day.
If we make each step 1ft x 1ft x 5ft we would need 200 hundred steps. (My math may be wrong here but I here is my method of thinking. If the shaft is 200 ft deep and each step lowers us 1 ft then we will need 200 steps.) This puts the steps at a 45 degree angle that may or may not be too steep. We can make the steps only 6 in high and we would need 400 steps (using the method of thinking.) Either way we can get 6.4 ft closer to the bottom each day. 200/6.4=31.25 which means on the 3nd day Nyla and I both need to give up 1 third level spell. I decided to start at the top so we can guarantee the steps will start on our side of the shaft. We may have to adjust abit to ensure we don't cover the door a the bottom and that is beyond me. Worste case we put ledge over the door way andcontinue down which will add two more 3rd level spells on the 32nd day. If need be we can attach a ladder at 10 ft high which will help if the spiral happens to ends in the middle of the door way.
This doesn’t give us a railing. So if anyone has a fear of heights this will wig them out. I am not worried about the fact that the steps are not supported because they come from the side of the wall. And I don’t think it should be an issue. If I have made any errors please let me know and we can try to hash it out.

I'd say that if Meenah knows about the heroes who saved many children already, she would be honored to join such a party, but at the same time she probably wouldn't dare to step and ask them.
