Dílis Aerach

Dílis echoes the sentiments, indicating that she knows the way to the capitol from here.

"Do we want to take the time to burn out or collapse the entrance to the mine? Does anyone have the necessary oil or equipment?"

To Athelstan: "Do you have any more potions to set this place ablaze? I am hard pressed to find a more worthy cause than the colapsing of this hellish place."


To Cerallos: "Do not forget your rope we used to climb into the hole."
 

Gavril

"I don't think we'll need much oil to burn those old timbers. We'll need to gather a good bit of dry wood to get it started though and that could be a challenge."

"I think the oil from the lantern would be sufficient. I can climb down and douse the timbers at the bottom, then climb out and toss down a torch. Once they catch, the fire should make its way up quickly enough. The only possible problem will be the damp - with all the rainfall, things stay pretty well soaked."
 


Finis

Perhaps sensing the agreement of the rest of the party, the newest addition to the group quickly follows through on her suggestion. The timbers catch quickly, orange tongues of flame licking up and adding to the already stifling heat of the surrounding jungle. The roar and crackle of the flames is periodically accented by the crash of weakening supports falling down into the shaft, and the garish orange glow lights the area long into the night. The party follows its usual watch schedule, modified slightly by the addition of Dílis. After camp is set and dinner eaten, she brings out her harp and entertains with the groups requests. Her already considerable personality is augmented by the combination of very well played music, full stomachs, and the anticipation of a good nights sleep in the wake of a difficult task well completed.

The night passes without event, and the group wakes fairly refreshed and ready for the relatively short journey to the capitol.
