Setting it on the ground he rustles through it and takes out a length of silken rope and the grappling hook.“I think the best idea would be to take the stairs up. We can use the rope to steady ourselves on the stairs. You never know, there may be a trap waiting to throw us into the slime beneath.” After affixing the rope to the eyelet of the iron hook, Caedren coils the rope in his left hand and lets the hook dangle from a few feet of rope in the right. Swinging it back and forth, he releases it into the hole above. Catching something above on the second try, he wraps the end of the silk rope around his left wrist and grips it tightly in his hand.“I will go first. When I make it to the top I will toss the rope back to you two.”Caedren draws his longsword and holds it in his right hand in preparation for any surprises at the top of the stairs. Slowly and cautiously he makes his way up.</blockquote>
