[QUOTE="narayan, post: 6752142, member: 6677509"] [b]Avar, Billanverthorne, Jabbar, Shafi[/b] [I]Shafi and three of the other bandits follow you through the caves. Jabbar knows his way already and has no trouble leading you through. The bandits have already hung lanterns conveniently along most direct path out. As you move by their cook fire you see they are well-stocked with food and provisions. There are also workbenches piled with stone-working, wood-working and metal-working tools beside an anvil and a forge. Beside them are stacks of stones, mortar, hides, wooden posts, rolls of rope, iron ingots, bars, and planks. [B]Jabbar:[/B] Glances at the building materials and calls back to Shafi. [COLOR=#996600]"Looks like your planning on making a more permanent home here?"[/COLOR] [B]Shafi:[/B] [COLOR=#808080]"Mind your business!"[/COLOR] [B]Avar:[/B] -Speaks in a low voice- [COLOR=#999900]"That's why Odan said he was the right man for the job. He's a skilled craftsman, a rare thing among thugs."[/COLOR] You note a makeshift holding cell with a crude iron gate, though it appears to be unoccupied at this time. Half way through the caves there is a deep crevasse. The sound of water far below echoes up through the darkness with a slight burble. Spread across the crevasse is a rope bridge (which is about 50 ft long, not accurately portrayed in the diagram). [B]Jabbar:[/B] [COLOR=#996600]"Its old but the bridge is strong."[/COLOR] Jabbar states reassuringly. At either side of the bridge is another bandit standing guard wearing a horn for signaling and holding a crossbow. Shafi motions to the guard who raises his horn and blows two short notes. The guard on the other side (who had been dozing) wakes and returns the signal with two short toots of his own. [B]Jabbar:[/B] Turns to Shafi. [COLOR=#996600]"What guarantee do I have that the bandits on the other side won't demand a toll as well?"[/COLOR] [B]Shafi:[/B] Sneers [COLOR=#808080]"We could just kill you all as you cross the bridge.
