[QUOTE="Uller, post: 6799077, member: 413"] After the drow guards drop there are a few moments that are a whirlwind of activity. You and most of your fellow prisoners run for the tower. Everyone starts doing something different. Some are grabbing weapons and other gear, others are piling up rations and water, others are grabbing ropes and talking about how far down the chasm floor is and whether or not it might be worth just tossing useful items down and then making a leap for it. Surana and Orsik take charge in the upper chamber. Orisk hands one of the heavy crossbows down to people below and starts breaking out bolts from the cases. He and Surana briefly discuss having his spider scurry across a rope attached to one of the heavy bolts and attempting to scout the other tower. They push the mount to one of the arrow slits, Surana and Eldeth start turning the crank to arm the bow while Orsik ties a rope to one of the bolts. Below, Sarith recommends closing and barring the door "while we still can" and points out that his former comrades are unaware you've taken the tower but that will soon change. Erevan and Ezraen note the importance of acquiring spell foci from Ivara's quarters and begin across the bridge cautiously. Sarith, probably out of habit from long years of ordering quaggoth's about, turns to Derendil "Grab that crossbow and charge it then set it to fire toward the main hall. I'm going to fire are anything that comes our way! You, orc, be ready to help reload!" "Give me an order again and I'll load your twink ass in that contraption, drow!" Ront finds his axe and other gear and begins looking about for something, at first you're not sure what. Then he lays on Eldeth, seems convinced she's okay and positions himself by the door that leads toward the slave pens to watch for threats from there. Once both crossbows are set, the rogue and paladin start crossing the bridge as cautiously as they can. The demonic flying creatures are still flying about the cave in a desperate chase. At first they didn't seem all the concerned with the drow. But as one of the bird creatures comes around the tower with two of the bug creatures close behind a volley drives it straight toward you. It sees you, spreads it's wings to slow and gain altitude then dives straight the bridge in an effort to get the bugs to notice you. They do but they don't break the chase. Each twists around the bridge, one strikes one of the ropes, shaking the bridge and nearly toppling Erevan and Ezraen over and into the webs. Just then, three drow soldier and one of the junior officers appears along the ledge coming from area 4 toward the same bridge to areas 6-8 that the elf and half elf were moving towards. They notice you, call out and begin moving toward you. [ooc] We agreed that I'd roll init to keep things moving...so...here goes... [roll0] [roll1] [roll2] [roll3] [roll4] [/ooc] [/QUOTE]
