Rallyn, Sildarin (with Doyle) Paenderig, Keith, Lyrique and Mortimer, accompanied by Boromin - coming back from the tower
Yes, Vigor has expired.
Lyrique begins a rousing ballad, stepping out into the open as Sildarin and Keith begin to sneak up a little closer to the cave entrance.
As Rallyn is loading his crossbow, Boromin steps up brandishing his axe. "What'll ye have me do, laddie?"
...
The song brings an instant reaction, The bear's paw visible within the entrance withdraws, to be followed by the bear's owner. A large hulking beast of a bear, unnatural in it's size, rumbles out and takes a deep whiff of the arctic air, then points it's ponderous bulk toward the nearest person it scents...
Initiative for everyone, Charlotte and Travellios, too, as we're in sync time and in direct communication via Doyle.
Charlotte and Travellios - giants
As already noted, Doyle can clearly communicate with Charlotte now. Travellios and Charlotte exit the Rope Trick before the spell's duration ends. The room is now pitch dark and the stone is still in place, as far as can be seen.
