Academy of Drell, Part IV

"That's.. good... I think... maybe we should... *gulp* ...what are those lights?"
Quite nervous at asking Sh'ar alone, Sildarin manages to do it.

Rallyn quickly unshoulders his back and withdraws the orcish light armor, silenced short bow, and enruned shortsword. "I know this isn't what you favor, but you mention being unarmed."

Rallyn turns over the shortsword in his hands, "It could be magical, or possibly psionic, though with the worksmanship, probably not very powerful. Still, some help is better than no help, no?"

Rallyn offers any and all of the equipment. "Charlotte, if any of this seems useful to you, feel free to grab it. It'd do us more good in your hands then in my pack."

Rallyn grins, then puts up whatever no one takes. Shouldering his pack he starts moving back towards the lake, "C'mon T'or. Let's play a little hide and go seek. We want to sneak back to the lake and hide so no one can find us!"

Charlotte takes a look at what Rallyn has to offer. "I think that I'll take the shortbow, if you don't need it... having a ranged weapon would be helpful. Other than that, though, I think I'm good."
 

Victor unsheathes his sword and comes back running toward the dais, where he hopes to find a way to reverse the magic of the tunnel making him go upward. Once there he shouts for help in the tunnel, hoping that the echo will carry the sound to his friends.
 


Rallyn

Palasant politely declines the offer of a weapon.

"Thank you, Rallyn, but I'm more concerned about my particular sword rather than just being armed. I was trained in the southern martial styles, so I am comfortable fighting without weapons. Although I'd like a nice crossbow if there's a spare."

T'or scampers ahead under Palasant's watchful eye. The young man is quick and the first one through the water into the grotto.
 

Everyone

Victor scrambles back to the dais but as before he can find no apparent way back up the slippery slope. He can hear the footsteps approaching slowly but surely.

After a few seconds, everyone within the grotto, even Sildarin and Sh'ar further up the far eastern tunnel, can hear Victor's cries for help from the base of the northern sloped passage. The remains of the arbalest and a long stretch of rope are hanging from the lintel around the doorway.

Victor needs to try specific things if he wants to bypass the "trap" or else make a disable Device check to figure it out.
 

"You hear som--That's Victor!" Rallyn sprints to help as fast as his short little legs can move!

"Whic--I think it's coming from over here!"

Rallyn runs headlong into the darkness trying to use whatever he can of his backlight to pick out Victor.

Of course, Rallyn doesn't know that Victor as at the bottom of a fun house slide. But he's due to find out rather abruptly!
 


After a moment's hesitation, Charlotte dashes after the gnome.

"Rallyn, careful!" She cries out as she runs. "We don't know what's going on!"
