[TiCaudata]

[sblock=di]Erdolliel digs out an everburning torch and some flasks from her pack and looks at where she has gotten herself.[/sblock]

[sblock=oc]Back to sblocks already huh?[/sblock]
"Perhaps we've made a mistake and kept the wrong one?" Kushnak says to Nethezar before casting a spell and heading toward the trap.

[sblock=oc] air walk go trigger the trap but stay 'up'.

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=Ti]Looking around with her everburning torch, Erdolliel sees that she is simply at the bottom of a pit trap. Nasty spikes stick up from the ground. Looking up, the elf sees what seems impossible: 30 feet above her head is a ceiling.[/sblock][sblock=o3]"Wise plan," Nethezar comments, as he follows just behind Kushnak.

The half-orc trips open the pit trap, and stops it from closing again. He looks down the pit. Surprisingly, at the bottom of the pit, 30 feet down, Kushnak sees... nothing. Just a bare floor.[/sblock]

[sblock=di]Erdolliel drinks a light potion, if she has the time, she ties a rope to an arrow and shoots it into the ceiling.[/sblock]

"GIRL!" Kushnak shout whispers into the pit.

"I'm going to take a closer look, help me keep this open." he calls to Nethezar.

[sblock=oc]I don't actually know HOW i'm keeping it open, but if Nethezar can do the same thing that'd be awesome. Look for signs of her. Blood, hair, a sword, something.... Spot +14 Search + 2 All the while call out to her.[/sblock]

[Dichotomy]

[sblock=OOC]We probably don't need the sblocks anymore. There's a little "voted best house" in here, but I figured you wouldn't mind getting on track. I also thought it was funnier this way...

Erdolliel's potion heals 5 damage; she's at 29 damage now.[/sblock]
Nethezar nods at Kushnak. The scholar walks to the edge of the pit and sits down, pressing his legs against the pit door to keep it open.

Kushnak begins airwalking down, seeing no sign of Erdolliel. Suddenly, an arrow shoots up from the floor beneath the half-orc and flies past both him and Nethezar. The arrow has a rope attached, which seems to go right through the floor.

Suddenly, the "floor" is seen for the transparent illusion that it is. Kushnak realizes that the pit actually is another 60 feet deep, and a very bloody Erdolliel stands among sharp spikes at the bottom.

 

[TiCaudata]

"There you are! Sorry about the arrow, I was just trying to get out. If you could help me with that it would be appreciated. Heck if you could just keep using this wand on me, I could try to climb out with a rope. Tha walls are a little greasy though."

 

[Dichotomy]

As Erdolliel speaks, the elf quickly remembers the silence effect around herself.

Kushnak sees the bloody elf mouthing something, but he hears no noise.
[sblock=OOC]And Erdolliel actually only has 23 damage. Finally remembered to subtract 10 feet for the tumble.[/sblock]

 

[o3caudata]

Kushnak grabs the rope and drags Erdolliel out of the pit.

"Perhaps you should be a bit more careful now." he says sarcastically as he heals her wounds.

[sblock=oc] 3 CLW from his wand[/sblock]

 

[TiCaudata]

Erdolliel gets to the top and quickly sets about preventing the trap from activating. THen cautiously moves to the door and checks it out as well.[sblock=oc]DD +14 Search +16 for more traps as she goes to the door. search the door and check for locks OL +13[/sblock]
