Béar is moving down the sandy floored tunnel. What is the rest of the party doing?

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

The dandy of a swordsman follows Béar, paradoxically a bit sullen for having made a dire prediction that did not turn out to be true.

Skáth

Skáth is atop Gavril really wishing he would not have folowed this crazy group down into this area without getting to know them better. When they get above surface, if things are the same he will not be with the party.

This Bear is crazy and foolish and I do not want to be forced into fighting situations like these.

 

[Mattress]

Athelstan pushes on the statue a little to see if it gives any.

Perception and alla that jazz.

3d6->[3,1,3] = (7)

Solid as a . . . well, as a rock!

 

[Mattress]

Athelstan gives the statue a skeptic and dirty look, but continues with the party down the hall, thus bringing up the rear.

The sand covered floor of the tunnel takes the party some 40 or 50 feet before ending at a portcullis similar to the one at the other end, complete with identical statue and a lever on the wall about 15 feet from the portcullis. The portcullis is closed, but is only about a foot from the end of the tunnel so the party can see out easily. On the other side of the portcullis, the tunnel opens up in the side of the plateau about 20 feet above the 'river' below. The rotted remains of a wooden structure hang from the side of the plateau. When Athelstan gets a look at them he quickly deduces that there used to be a block and tackle to hoist items up from the river to this opening.

 

[Scotley]

Gavril

Turning to his diminutive passenger, Gavril asks, "Do you think you could pass through the portcullis and work the lever to open it for the rest of us?"

 

[Mattress]

Pointing at the rotted wood, Athelstan exclaims:

I deduce a block and tackle system was once in operation here!

Wonder what'll happen if we pull that lever down?

OOC:

Sorry, guys! The lever is on the INSIDE of the tunnel - you can reach it from here, but someone standing on the very small lip of tunnel OUTSIDE the portcullis could not.
