Kesh grabs a pickaxe from the wall, then looks back at the observant Korg.
"Just in case."
They then head down to the epicenter of the clamor in the depths of the mine.

A savage wind buffets all of Rarun, leaving those exposed to the elements in imminent danger. Sand stings the eyes and debris pelts the skin as an unbelievable gust of fierce wind rips through the camp. This is definitely on the level of "sandstorm" now and seems to be growing in intensity.
Slaves scurry around the camp, trying to find cover against the sandstorm.

If you are outside of the House Njeer tent and not in Shaft C, make an Endurance check and post the result.[/sblock]
Inside the House Njeer tent, you feel the tent's stout foundations shudder at the sandstorm's assault. You wonder how long the tent will hold up under this attack.
For those still watching, Elohasi enters the "forbidden" tent at the center of the Rarun camp.

"We have to time for such pleasantries!" Horran shouts as the wind nearly swallows the noble's words. The youth pulls a yellow cloth against his mouth. "We must make for cover of some kind. Do you see anything?"

Kesh and Korg round a corner and see more of the disaster that is the cave-in of the main tunnel of Mine Shaft C. There are two dozen slaves here, about half of which are trapped under large rocks and debris. Akkar, the corpulent sub-chief with the barbed whip, watches the carnage, but seems disinterested in helping anyone. Akkar merely watches and waits, occasionally shouting something at the slaves.
Kesh, now armed with a pickaxe, sees a darkness beyond the debris and rubble. Above the rocks, the remains of the main tunnel are visible. There is about a three to four foot gap between the rocks and the ceiling.
[sblock=Korg]Korg hears a strange hissing noise coming from the direction of the rubble.[/sblock]

"Akkar, you fool, help them! What are you waiting for?"
Kesh rushes over to one of the fallen slaves in an attempt to free him from the debris. He strains against it, but seems unable to budge it more than a little. Regardless, Kesh tries over and over, hoping that some of the other slaves will come to his aid.
[sblock=ooc GM]If you could make a Str or Athletics check to move the rock or rally support, that would be nice. I'll operate under the assumption that it's too big for now.[/sblock]

[sblock=OOC]Zimno does NOT lose a healing surge.
[/sblock]Horran looks to the large tent at the center of the camp. "But... we are not allowed..." The young noble looks around and, seeing nothing better for cover against the staggering wind, follows the eladrin towards the tent.
As Zimno and Horran arrive at the tent, they hear a heavy breathing sound from within. They can hear this above the din of the howling wind.
Two men, wearing kank scale armor and wielding gouges, emerge from within the tent. Their eyes are pupil-less and they both possess vacant stares. "None may enter."

Kesh struggles against the huge pieces of rock, but is unable to free anyone. Five humans and one mul slave arrive at the elf's side and try to help. The mul gets pelted in the forehead with a medium-sized stone and crashes to the stone floor, unconscious.
Akkar laughs. "Brave, but foolish. We can always get more slaves, you know." He looks to Korg, who is otherwise distracted for the moment. "Let us be out of here before more of this tunnel collapses. We'll send the slaves in to find survivors once this is done."
[sblock=Kesh]If you want Kesh to spend more time trying to free trapped slaves, make an Athletics check and post it. Keep in mind, however, that staying that close to the collapsing tunnel will expose Kesh to possibly getting himself trapped in the debris.[/sblock]

Kesh looks back at Akkar. He realizes that there is no hope, but to leave a fellow slave feels...
"No time," he thinks. "I must run."
He looks down at the slave pinned beneath the rubble.
"I'm sorry, my friend, but I must go."
With that, Kesh tightens his grip on the pick and sprints back up the mine, running as quickly as possible to stay ahead of any falling stones.
