Groknar looks around excitely. That was fun. Me no know if tracks. Groknar will then peer down the shaft, using his darkvision. He will then find the ideal spot to hammer a spike into the ground, in order to tie a rope to it.

"Perhaps this will illuminate matters," Darian says. In the grand tradition of all dungeon crawls and underground exploration, he casts a simple light spell on a copper piece, and drops it down the shaft.
"I may have some spells to help us descend. However, I'd rather save them in case we need them later on. Remember that we're racing against the other chosen; we probably won't have time to rest in Rope Trick, or Teleport back to resupply. Also, I need to be the last person to go down. I'm going to set a ward over the entrance and I don't want it to trigger prematurely."

Bellus does a thorough search of the area and finds no traces of other beings.
Groknar arranges a rope to descend the 100 feet to the copper coin tossed by Darian. Qataria and Zelestine lead the way to the bottom, where they are soon joined by the others. Darian is the last at the top of the shaft.
Sand and stony debris litter the floor of the 10-foot square space, apparently freshly rained down from above. Strange glyphs are scribed into the floor and into the circular set of stone double doors to the south.
Time to think about the marching order. Zelestine is happy to be up front or guarding the rear.

Before descending, Darian brings forth a scroll, and chants softly for moment. An alarm spell set to mental ping guards the downward shaft. Then he hastens to catch up the others. "That ought to warn us of any coward attempting to sneak into this place after us."
OOC: use scroll of alarm, level 4, 8 hours.

Finally in his own element (which was odd, him considereing 'his element' hanging fom a rope or dangling a thousand feet over a gorge...), Bellus moves forward to to ropes (he has attached his own as well).
'Let me go down first, as I can more easily circumvent any dangers if they lurk in suprise'.
Bellus prepares to descend, unless someone has objections or last minute considerations.
OoC: I can now move at full normal while climbing, woohoo@ 5th Level Thief-Acrobat.

Qataria and Zelestine open the stone doors to the south and descend a flight of stairs 10 feet to another set of double doors scribed with ambiguous symbols. Verra recognizes the symbols as ancient signs used to focus personal meditation.
Expectation hangs in the air like an electric charge as the two well-armed women open the doors, revealing a 50-foot-square room. The chamber is built of crystal-veined granite blocks. Seven circular stone doors lead off the chamber: three on the west wall, three on the east, plust the double doors back to the shaft.
Six metal discs, each 2 feet in diameter, are set flush into the floor along the north wall, each one spaced equidistant from those closest to it. Every disc is set with a darkened crystal.
The chamber's most impressive feature is a the 30-foot-by-30-foot section composed of a gemlike substance in the center of the floor. The blurred outline of a colossal worm or slug lies entombed within, unmoving.

For Tarkus! Do it for Kord! Groknar triumphantly yells as he charges the creature, leaping high into the air before striking with the full force of his axe, hoping to cut through the substance and chop the creature within.
OOC: Charge, +18, 1d12+1d6+20

Verra cautiously entered the room following the charge of the angry half-orc. "There goes the element of surprise," he said quietly in resignation and a touch of humor.
Verra will nock an arrow and cover the open doorways with his bow. He will stay at the double doors leading back to the shaft.
