[QUOTE="arwink, post: 1048848, member: 2292"] [i]Friday, September 22nd, continued[/i] Yip barely seems to touch the rope as he descends into the darkness, the rough hemp feeding through his hands quickly with just enough contact to control his descent. Sixty feet down he can see the ground, and when he lands its on all fours, body flat and alert for danger. His darkvision shows a narrow passage, crudely cut, leading deeper under the Abbey. Blarth follows behind, his ham-sized fists holding the rope in a sturdy grasp as he lowers his armoured form down. His descent is less elegant than Yips, but no less effective, and once his feet have touched the ground he draws his lucky sword and makes sure the sonic whistle is tucked into a convenient place on his belt. As Halgo lowers himself cautiously down, Yip scouts down the path. He seems to move on fingertips alone, his arms and legs barely moving as he scuttles along the dry dirt. Goeffrey is just starting his descent when Yip returns. "Short tunnel," he announces. "lots of rat-men, tall man with no hair. Black robes and hands like claws. Digging big silver thing out of ground." "Cleric or Wizard?" Halgo asks. "He has wands," Yip shrugs. "No weapons. Yip think Wizard." "How many rat-men?" Blarth asks. "Ten, maybe more. Yip not stay long enough to count." The three of them look up the hole in the ceiling, the dark shadow of Geoffrey hanging from the rope. The cleric's armour clanks loudly as he descends, and yip thinks he can hear Geoffrey swearing under his breath as he climbs. "They close to digging thing out," Yip says dubiously. "Not think we have time to wait for Geoffrey." "Can you make it up there?" Halgo asks. Yip nods. "Let him know we're pressing on without him. With luck, we can keep them distracted long enough to stop them getting whatever it is they're after." Yip nods and starts scampering up the rope. Before he's even three feet off the ground, Halgo hisses for him to stop." "What?" Yip asks. "Tell him to hurry as well," Halgo smiles. Yip sighs softly and starts climbing up the rope once more. Meanwhile, Halgo and Blarth start planning an assault on the mysterious miners. [/QUOTE]
