*Seeing it will be a bit before they move on, Kelthet drops to a crosslegged position, closes his eyes, and is almost instantly asleep.*

"Lets get a bit further before we break for the night. Darthallys, did you have a piton and rope I could tie somewhere on the other side of the river?" Phaern says.

Provided he gets the piton and rope, the little spryte will fly over to the other side and anchor the rope. He will try to pay attention to what might look like the best part of the river to cross as he flies over it.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*Phaern, your choice of parts of the river to cross are either lots of pointy rocks or less rocks. All of it is fairly swift and dark. Choosing the route with more potential foothold, you pound the piton in and tie the rope securely.*

*After the rope is anchored at the far end, someone can anchor it on the near end. Pounding the piton deep into the wall, you create a handhold for the non-flying members of the party.*

*Everyone heaves themselves hand over hand, Atlas tugging the loudly protesting mule along. With the giant's strength he is able to move the beast along with pure brute force. Wil makes it over slowly but surely, and Darthallys fairly swings along. Indacalis nearly slips and falls into the river, but Darthallys is able to grab his hand and steady him until he can grab the rope again. Leesea pokes Kelthet and he quickly pulls himself over. Panting, you all reach the shore.*

*Leesea, you and Phaern can go pull the other piton out of the opposite wall and have Atlas pull the rope in. After about fifteen minutes, everyone is safely across the river, though fairly wet. It is a bit chilly here, particularly with the wind blowing from further down the passage.*

Atlas smiles "that was a workout" looking at the very annoyed mule. "I suggest we find somewhere out of this wind, where we can put on dry clothes."

*Kelthet nods absently, and pulls a small flake of some whitish material from his witchbag. He mutters a few words to himself, and the flake disentegrates in his hand. As he does so, his clothes shed the dirt and mud from the river, his hair loses the cave dust that has settled in it, and even his wound looks freshly scrubbed and shiny.* "Fair enough."

 

[Erekose13]

*Phaern and Leesea finish retreiving the piton and carry the end of the rope across as the line is reeled in. Returning the party, he suggests, "Well lets have a look around, see if we cant find you some place out of this breeze where we can setup a nice warm fire. I'm starting to feel a bit hungry and could use a rest too."

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

*After looking a bit further down the passageway, you can find an odd little side cave that's fairly dry and out of the wind in the passageway. It's big enough to hold you all company, and it seems that's it been used for a nest or a campsite more than once in the past.*

 

[Rybaer]

ooc - Sorry, a little slow in getting back into routine since returning from vacation.

Leesea peers into the side chamber curiously. If confident that nothing will drop off the ceiling to attack her, she'll do a quick search of the room. Particular attention will be paid to anything about the room that suggests it has been used before for camping or lairing purposes.

Wil

“I say we start a fire, dry off, eat and rest. I’ll gladly take first watch.”

 

[dead_radish]

*Kelthet nods* "I will watch last, if no one else wishes that watch...."
