Aloysius announces their is nothing down the passage, it just keeps on going as far as his link will allow.

Rumbling down the passage is an uneventful trip through twists and turns for little over an hour and a half its hard to tell down here.
Eventually the the passage leads to where the blockage is. Carrying on for a further 30mins. The masonry is begging to blend into one uniformed blur, as the darkness seems ever encroaching. The sound of the wagon is tremendous as it thunders through the ancient halls. Then the path stops abruptly and a chain heads up to a hole in the roof giving view of the sky and the bright full moon, just how long they had been down there is hard to pin point.
Gheedon mutters something under his breath seeing the sky seems to of improved his disposition.
 



"It looks like this is the way out." Ana gives the chain a tug to see if it will take her weight.
OOC: Strength check [roll0] She's not trying to pull the chain down just making sure it will hold herself, then the minotaur and the orcs.

Assuming it doesn't just fall on top of her:

"I'll climb up with some rope and then those who follow, who want me to, can tie the rope to them and I'll make sure they don't fall if they slip off the chain. Once we have a couple people up there. We tie the rope to the crates and ferry them up. If we're feeling lucky, we might try to lift the cart up the same way."
 


"Everyone back up, the floor is wobbling." She hooks arm around the chain in case the floor disappears.
OOC: But was the chain secure? If not, she would instead get away from the chain with everyone else.

Also is the hole near a climbable wall?
 

The walls are all pretty smooth, the same as the rest of the passageway(think side of your house). As Ana hooks the chain around her arm however, a 10x10section of the floor raises into the air,rather jerkily then abruptly stops in place. The floor Ana is standing on is now a couple of inches off the ground just enough to be visible.
 

"Pulling the chain raises the floor?" Ana looked at the floor incredulously before snapping out of it. She lets go of the chain to see if the floor sinks again.
 

The floor certainly does sink with a small thus that causes Ana to stumble forward, dropping this from a great height would not seem like a good idea.
"See we can see the sky again and even a handy Urm... lifting floor mover, to get the cart up did you ever doubt me? Gheedon beams he seams pretty pleased with himself.
