If it comes to that, we'll do it. Lets go guys. Hot furry death is waiting. Ray has been typing a note to hisd grandmother telling her he loves her and if he doesn't make it back that he will watch over her as a spirit.

Update!
And with those words the three bold men disappear in the doorway and leave two nervous men behind, trying to keep their hopes up and their thoughts with their friends.
The other three head down towards the cellar, take what they need and load up the Hum-Vee. The sooner they get this stuff over with, the better they think. And so they take off, a black dot racing through the snow white plain between the mountains, headed east for the old mine.
Just as Stonehill said, you find two boulders half a mile east of the Delaney complex. The boarded-up entrance to the abandoned mineshaft is between the boulders and beneath a heavy snowdrift. Unfortunately the site is also two miles from the nearest road so to get there you had to plow your Hummer through snow three to five feet deep in order to reach it. Luckily you brought a means of transportation that could handle this terrain.
The boards have been exposed to the elements for more then two decades and soon some short work is made of them through liberal use of a crowbar. Before you enter the dark cave you look at each other for one last good time and you all mutter something like what the hell do we think we are doing here.
Inside the mineshaft you are overcome with the strong, dank odor of rot, stagnant water, and dirt. The air is full with dust. The dirt walls and ceiling are propped up with wide timbers that creak loudly in the wind. It is very dark there and a cold chilly wind blows through from somewhere below…
Twenty feet into the darkness is an open elevator shaft but a quick glance over the controls and mechanism obviously indicates that the system is broken beyond repair and that the only way down seems to be a series of wooden ladders fastened to the shaft walls.

"Someone wouldn't have any rope would they?" James asks hopefully, "I could rig something up pretty good to climb with so's we don't have to rely on ye olde ladder."
James does a brief inspection of the ladder.
[ooc: Two molotov's each for Ray and Ross, James has two in addition to the demolition gear he's carrying. One was left behind in the extreme case of the guys at the hotel needing it.]

[OOC: Does the Hum-Vee have one of those wintches on the front or back?]
Damn. This is what I've always wanted to do. find something supernatural. Why am I so scared? Ray says to himself.

I..I'll go last. Ray says. He can only keep thinking that this is a lonely place to die.

Ross wait. Lets tie one end of this rope to you that way as you go down you will not fall if you find a bad rung. Ray grabbs the rope that Someone had mentioned having and ties it around Ross' midsection.
