"That's the spirit; take one for the team," Orpheus says from behind Alinis. He waits his turn to climb the ladder.

As Raven winked his way, Zeric felt the rare urge to smile up at the brash female. While she was still nothing more than a child, she at least had the strength of will to accept the prospect of danger and not hide behind others in the process.
When Alinis reached for the ladder rung to follow Raven up, Zeric reached out and stopped her hand.
"I will follow her up. Your bow becomes less useful in close quarters, but I will not suffer that same limitation."
Looking back to the dandy who had resumed the demeanor of a man strolling through a park hoping not to be targeted by a passing bird, Zeric shook his head and began climbing the ladder behind Raven.
~Maybe he will learn in time, but now is not the time for me to be teaching him...~

At Zeric's glance, Orpheus smiles broadly and gives a companionable wave, giving off the air of a jackal waiting for the shepherd to turn his back.

Raven climbs up into the hole, raising her through the hole in the room. Taking a look around she quickly notices a lone skulk moving slowly towards her from the corner. It appears the skulk has been alerted by the noises from the party, but cannot see, apparently expecting the party to provide the light it would need to ambush them. A look of frustration on it's face, it gives a testing jab towards Raven that meets well over her head. It lowers it's rapier to strike again.
Initiative:
Raven - 18
Skulk - 3
Initiative:
Raven - 18
Skulk - 3
Alinis grins at Zeric and flicks her bow into its acustomed place. She makes sure her sword is in a good position for her to draw it. Once they get up the ladder she will draw it. But in the meantime, she has her dagger 'readied' so she can use it if the need arises. From her own lessons, she knows that in close quarters, daggers are really better than either swords or bows. She then follows behind him.

Raven reaches for the skulk and smacks it hard in the side of the knee, crushing it's kneecap. (10 damage) The creature falls with a screech and reaches out in the darkness, not sure of where it's attacker is. It's rapier drops with a clatter. It starts mumbling something in Undercommon that only Elyas understands.
"Please! Please do not kill me! I will show you to the rat. I will give it back!"
The skulk grasps a key that is attached to a thin leather strap around it's neck and presents it out to his attacker.

Raven
Raven scrambles the rest of the way up the stairs. Seeing her oponent down for the moment, she turns her attention to the rest of the room. She wants to make sure there's no further danger as the rest of the party ascends the stairs. Assuming there's not, she calls down. "Send up a light - it's safe now."
