The unnatural luminescense of the walls fades away as you one after the other climb down the chasm into a warm, claustrophobic darkness. From time to time you can hear Kaj cursing quietly to himself when he barely manages to force his hulking body past the narrower parts of the passage, followed by a similar sense of frustration from Big at the other end of the party. You can soon feel the wetness and acrid scent of half-demonic blood on some of the jagged protrusions in the rock, and eventually most of you suffer aches, cuts and bruises of your own from your descent. If you did not feel the draft of warm air from below you would probably fear that the Dwarf had led you into a trap, tricking you into burying yourselves alive in vengeance for his loss.
The chasm seems to go on forever until suddenly your climb comes to an end. With a pale light shining up from below Kaj twists his body around another obstacle, squeezing past with his hips and stomach, before getting stuck by his chest and shoulders. His whisper comes as a hiss of frustration. "I'm stuck."
Above you is only darkness.

"Close," Kaj replies. "If we get past this the rest should be easy."
[sblock]ooc: Kaj is furthest down in the chasm, Canthan was among the last to enter. You don't have a line of sight to Kaj, but you may be able to squeeze down past the others far enough to reach him. (The chasm extends a bit to the sides, but grows gradually narrower away from the middle (horizontally))[/sblock]

The Mystic sighs, realizing he has no spells designed to help demons get out of tight spaces.
"Give me some room." Canthan replies as he moves slowly forward, strain obvious in his voice as he is not used to the physical exertion of climbing. When he has moved forward to where he can see Kaj and can cast securely without falling he does so. "Prepare yourself" the only warning Kaj receives before the wall is coated with grease in an effort to free him.

Kaj grunts with effort and strains yet again against the walls of the chasm until finally, with a wet tearing sound, he's loose. He nods his thanks before climbing down another few feet and dropping to the floor below, gesturing that all seems clear. The rest of you follow and though Big is nearly caught in the same place Kaj was the grease lets him too slide trough.
You emerge in what seems to be a large cave, dimly lit by magical lanters widely spaced along the walls. Rows upon rows of deep shelves are lined up in strict geometry, holding beds of moist earth and white leprous mushrooms.

"The duergar's influence, I presume," Ysande murmurs, wrinkling her nose as she peers about the place and its distinctly unsavory-looking fungi. "One can only hope that the elves have had a civilising influence - but from what I've heard, I'm not getting my hopes up."
"Let's try to keep the noise down from hereon in. It might also be worth considering taking steps to look innocuous... for my part, I could easily disguise myself as an elf. If anybody else could do the same, we might be able to pose as a patrol bringing in prisoners. Hardly a watertight story, but I think it'd serve well enough to get us most of the way."

The Mystic will search for anything valuable, taking 10 for a total of 17 . "You do that. I could be a prisoner...I don't know.
On an unrelated note, these mushrooms look tasty.
