[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5698087, member: 6673727"] Arianna makes her way in the direction of the right-hand wall, where both arrows came from. Methodically, the eidolon-bond merfolk scans the walls, dilapidated pews, and various other debris for anything that looks out of the ordinary. The first thing she spots in this regard is a small slit at the top of the right-hand wall, about 25 feet up - almost assuredly where the arrows originated. Searching further, she also spots a small protrusion from the base of one of the pews in the front row, the relatively new metal of which seems out of place against the weathered wooden pew. Leaning down, she inspects it carefully, and, finding nothing that seems cause for concern, she turns the discreet handle. With a groan, a small section of the stone floor against the back wall retracts, exposing a gloomy stair case. The group moves into position to peer down into its depths, where they can see the faint torch light illuminating the base of the stairwell. Gazing into the dark with the others, the gnome says, [COLOR=Plum]"I believe myself and Master Crea will be remaining up here."[/COLOR] Wordless with fear at the prospect of what awaits below, Phedilo can only nod his agreement. [sblock=OOC]My apologies for playing out Arianna's actions a bit, Satin, but she beat the DC to find the bypass switch and I felt it would be best to move things a long, in the interest of speed. The stairwell lasts for about 50 feet before reaching the bottom; although it's gloomy, between the light from the church and the light streaming in below, sight won't be much of a problem. It also appears that once you do get down to the bottom, things will be relatively well-lit. The stairwell itself is about 10' wide. Marching order, too, please.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
