Ys-Korros pulls up the trapdoor while Ys-Baddaden directs the light of his glowglobe into the hole. A rickety wooden ladder, missing a couple rungs, leads some ten feet down into a narrow tunnel through the dirt. Small bugs skitter away as the light shines upon them.

The air that wafts up from the hole is damp and earthy. There is also a pungent, unpleasant odor.

"Feces, urine," Danwyn says, wrinkling his nose.

(The Keep's latrine is a good fifty or sixty feet from here, though it's possible that it connects somewhere down below.)
 

Pyior examines the ladder to determine if it will hold Ys-Korros' weight and reports his findings to the party. If it looks safe he will follow Ys-Korros and Ys-Baddaden down.
 

The ladder is clearly old and rotting. Pyior suspects that it should be able to hold the weight of the faen and Danwyn. The giants, Ys-Baddaden in particular, are an entirely different matter. On the flipside, Ys-Baddaden is tall enough that he could hop up and pull himself out of the hole should the ladder fail him.

OOC: I'm assuming Ys-Baddaden could hop down as well, then?

Seeing the depth of the hole and the state of the ladder, Ys-Baddaden puts his hand on Ys-Korros' shoulder and suggests, "Brother, perhaps I should just jump down first and then I can help everyone else reach the bottom." Assuming everyone is agreeable, the giant does just that.
 


"Little brother, I would prefer going first, but as I can't possibly imagine how anything would live down there, if you want to jump down and help the others in go ahead. I hope you guys know that little trick to clean us all up once we are out of there." Ys-Korros says to his brother's suggestion. He will probably jump in too, as it looks rather slick.
