"Ok... two up here to guard, and volunteers below," Craven says finally, and pulls up the elevator. Stepping onto it, he waits to see who else will join him.

Craven winches the elevator back up.
Toriah shakes his head as he climbs on the elevator in pursuit of the vanished Kerwyn. "I wish we coul' do this some other way."
Neshi is quite sluggish and curls up near the entrance to the room. Neshi and the Black Cat have no interest in climbing aboard the elevator.
As Kerwyn starts lowering himself down to the next floor, he realizes that it is a long way down. Much further than the 60 feet from the top of the shaft to the top of the black and purple stone.
ooc:
Staying: Belaver, Lylamwyn, Raner, Neshi, and the Black Cat.
Going down: Craven, Lenya, Toriah
Out of Sight: Kerwyn

Craven and his volunteers quickly lower themselves to the black and purple surface.
No monsters or evil cultists or Kerwyns in sight.
Just the noise of the water hitting the ground and mist in the air.
The cold is intense. Not cold enough to freeze the water, but close.
Craven takes a step off the elevator onto the black stone surface.
The surface moves.
Or, rather, the jagged purple veins move through the black stone. Almost as if the black stone was a block of ice and the purple veins were tentacles or snakes moving beneath the surface.
The purple veins move slowly. Craven can easily avoid being touched or step over the veins.
The purple veins seem to be attracted to you. Do you let the veins touch your shoes (i.e. pass underneath your shoes)?

*Craven grits his teeth against the presence of evil thick in this place, and dances over the veins.*
"Nothing good can come of this. Don't let them touch you. Kerwyn, everything ok down there?" Craven says the last in a much louder voice. He inspects the surface. Are there any markings or whatnot upon the black stone or the walls further out?

Craven can't really see the stone walls well enough to tell whether there are markings or not. The black and purple surface does not have any markings.
As Craven looks over the edge at Kerwyn's progress, he sees Kerwyn has gone at least 80 feet below (or to be precise, he sees a lantern riding an elevator quite a distance downwards).

*Or at least at the ball of light that's marking Kerwyn's progress, yes he's looking.*
