End of Round 1, start of Round 2
Kago had had enough. He kicked at the door's hinges, and sent a spray of door pieces flying. Kago, Solace, Kamael, and Raza noticed that the door wasn't made of wood. No shards of wood flew; rather, the pieces that broke did so in larger chunks that didn't splinter the way common to wood. Ragged sections of the door hung wildly akimbo, affording Kago and Solace a view of the interior of the stalactite. The view wasn't new to Solace--she'd seen it half a minute earlier before she'd jammed shut the lock with her picks. Dark silk mats with a pale web strand pattern woven in silver thread covered the circular floor. A very large black spider with glittering jet eyes perched atop a broad pedestal across from the broken door. An altar to Llolth occupied the north side of the room. A pair of heavy silver candlesticks sat atop the altar tabletop. To the left was a heap of cushions. To the right was an open trap door in the floor. In the center of the room stood none other than Asha, unbridled fury in her eyes. Kago's blow to the door knocked her backward five feet, topping the broad pedestal. The spider perched on the pedestal fell to the floor, shattering...a statute. Blood dripped in a thin trickle across Asha's top lip from a nose bloodied after Kago smashed the door into her face. A drop fell onto the breast piece of her scale male, leaving a single rosette splatter. Asha's eyes flicked to the blood drip, then to Kago.

Kamael was first to react, and he did so the moment Kago smashed in the door, before Asha was knocked backward. He cast acid splash at Asha, who
failed to dodge out of the way. A bubble of roiling acid formed and burst in the center of the room, raining down vitriol on Asha, who was struck for
1 point of damage. The acid ruined the bank of pillows skirting the wall of the interior of the room, and out of the ruin of silk and stuffing rose a giant spider. The creature was nimble, and
leapt out of the way of the acid even as it crept along the side wall toward the doorway. In nearly the same second, Solace loosed a hand crossbow bolt at Asha,
hitting her for
11 points of damage. The bolt buried itself in Asha's shoulder, leaving a gaping hole in her pauldron.
Plain Quaggoth was through the ragged door in a flash,
striking Asha in a frenzied rage of claws, and dealing
14 points of damage. Yellow Quaggoth raised a shaggy arm to pummel Brinn, but the crash of the breaking door convinced the beast that perhaps Brinn had the right of things; the quaggoth shambled over to the winch and began helping crank. Brinn hopped back in the basket. The quaggi proved
both strong and adept with the crank--the basket lowered more quickly than normal. Up by the northern end of the outpost, Shuushar continued ambling along the narrow ledge. He creaked open the door to the guard room by the quaggoth cell, and grasped hold of a 100' coil of silk rope. He spied something on the floor, and smiled to himself with a pleased,
"Ah, good quality rope gives twice a blessing." The kuo-toa bent over and examined his find.

These squares are available for a medium-sized or small creature to stand inside the stalactite: R23, Q23, R21 (the giant spider is on the wall, not on the floor), and Q21. Per Yavathol's instruction in the IC, Kamael cast acid splash as his readied action. I rolled Solace's readied action/attack and included sneak attack since Kago was standing within 5' of Asha when the door blew her backward five feet. Apologies if you'd already rolled, KS; I didn't immediately see an attack roll for Solace in the IC or the OOC (I didn't look too hard, though). Blue Quaggoth got a natural 20 on its Athletics check to lower the basket, so the basket will be lowered two rounds' worth instead of one round's worth. It had already been lowered one round (Brinn had to jump to get back in), so it'll be down to the chasm floor at the end of Round 2 (assuming another successful Athletics check...a failure will result in the basket becoming stuck mid-air like a ferris wheel).
Start of Round2. Kamael is up, [MENTION=33284]Yavathol[/MENTION].
