Realizing the folly of running off into the unknown dark tunnels, he pulls up."I need no sermonizing from the likes of you, guttersnipe! Shefton was a tool whose usefulness had come to an end. Nothing more.""Do you think me a fool? I know that the Jade Ravens are in Cauldron, else they'd likely join your fate. Don't insult me with your pitiful effort at trickery. You have been outmatched by your betters."(Chongo Climb Check)Chongo launches himself at the wall, and attempts to scale the shaft, but he finds the walls slippery with little to hold on to. His progress is determined but slow. Seeing the Olman ascending, Vanthus fires off a final comment. "Well, I seem to have struck a nerve, savage. I'll be leaving you all now to die. Oh, and do say hello to Penkus for me if you see him. Ha ha ha!" The sound of Vanthus' mocking laughter is cut off as the trap door is slammed shut above, leaving Chongo clinging about 10 feet off the ground, and the others looking on. Moments later, a scraping sound from above brings the realization that someone has dragged something large and heavy on top of the trap door. The party is left to look at one another in the glow of Col's speartip, and figure out what to do next.</blockquote>
