[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7831961, member: 59816"] [b]The Scriptorium "Crack"[/b] The crack in the ice that led from the scriptorium to the dracolich's lair was a treacherous climb over a difficult, icy surface that sloped steeply and unevenly downward - steep to the west, and even steeper toward the south. After sixty feet, it opened into a ceiling fifteen feet above the floor below - or at least it appeared that way, as the floor was covered in a cloying mist that made it difficult to determine exactly where it was, and exactly how large it was before possibly plummeting further. [b]The "Chute"[/b] Mord and the Trolls had gone down the circular corridor to the lair's primary access - a chamber known as 'the Chute". The chamber was far colder than any area of the ice caves that Mord had explored so far. The cold issued from a yawning pit in the floor that twisted down into darkness, and above which was anchored a heavy iron hook in the ice of the ceiling. Carved by kobolds into the ice of the walls were images of white dragons in flight. A five-foot-wide walkway extended around both sides of the pit, connecting the entrance to an exit across the room. A portion of the walkway was damaged (by Lorenn), crumbled away into the pit. These trolls had never descended into the lair, and they had no ropes. Mord quickly realised that there was probably no way to get them to go quietly, and it seemed likely that they intended to jump in and risk the slide. (After all, Trolls were never afraid of minor injury that did not include the chance of being burned.) [ooc]Who's first? (We should probably discuss things like marching order and any precautions that anyone is taking.)
