He could see now that the wind was getting stronger, and quickly. Climbing up the rope, even if he could muster the strength to do it without falling, would take far too long. Helpless, he looks around the lower chamber, looking for a clue. Could the trap be reset from down here? His eyes sweep the room again, searching... His eyes fall on the bones. He suddenly thinks Were you blown down from up above?  "Gregor! Get everyone out of there! Get out, get out! It's going to blow you off the edge!"Despite his best efforts, the young miner finds nothing on the wall of the corridor nearest to him.(OOC: Search and Spot checks on a 5 foot by 5 foot square of the wall)Standing next to him, the gnome looks on helplessly.Now that Azten is down on the floor, he fumbles for his holy symbol/hammer and looks for some interruption in the stone that he can drive it into to help him hold on. While doing so, he prays to Moradin to give him strength and luck in holding on.  As the wind continues to increase in strength he does his best to yell to his companions: "Look out! The wind ... Getting stronger ..."  (OOC: Casts <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/resistance.htm" target="_blank">Resistance</a>)Gregor is glad to see Azten shake off the paralysis but worried at the increasing wind force. "I don't see anything to stop it! Let's get back before it blows us out, hold onto me! We need to move quick!"Taking his advice, Alexi takes a short leap off the edge of the hallway and grabs on to the chain.  Once she has a firm hold on it, she quickly begins to climb down it as fast as she can.  She is able to make it down about 15 feet before almost loosing her grip.  She dangles by only one hand 25 feet above the floor, the wind making the chain sway and sing like the string on a ill-tuned lute. (OOC: Double Climb check 20 - 1 (ACP) - 1 (Str) = 18, success! Climb check#2 12 - 2 = 10, failure)Still hanging limp in Gregor's arm in the corridor above, Owen is along for the ride.After casting his spell, the dwarf looks around desperately trying to find a place where he can drive his holy symbol into.  The careful craftsmanship of the builders works against him in this instance, as no break or flaw in the dark-tan flagstones can be found.  The blessing of Moradin seems to manifest itself in a different manner, however, as Azten feels himself grabbed by the scruff of his traveler's cloak and lifted off the ground by the giant.Now carrying two of his companions, Gregor lumbers as fast as he can to the edge of the corridor.  The wind whips around the lantern chain, buffeted back by the far wall of the shaft before plunging into the dimly lit passageway below.  From where he now stands, the miner can see him friend Majakilar below, gesturing wildly at him and yelling.  His words are carried off by the now gale-force winds.(OOC: The wind strength is now at <a href="http://www.d20srd.org/srd/weather.htm#tableWindEffects" target="_blank">Windstorm</a> strength)</blockquote>
