Swaying slightly in the slight breeze, the three aging ropes led some 50 feet across the chasm and up to a ledge on the other side. We couldn’t see what was on the ledge, as it was too far above us, and the age and decay of the ropes suggested that we shouldn’t go across it in too great a number.Flynne almost casually pranced across the thin ropes, leaving the rest of us standing watching him and wondering hoe to get across. He began to reach the upwards curve on the ropes, over halfway across, when a number of javelins sailed out of the darkness to meet him. Balancing on the ropes, Flynne grapped for his grappling hook, whirled it over his head and sent it sailing towards the unseen figures on the ledge. A furry hand snagged the ropes, and Flynne pulled hard on the ropes. The hand vanished back beyond the lip of the ledge; unseen to any of us but Flynne. The effects of the figure could be seen, however. Flynne struggled to pull at the rope, but was unable to pull the grimlock off the ledge. After a few seconds, the rope came free.Flynne leapt off the rope bridge under a withering hail of javelins; 40 feet below him the dangling grappling hook shot upwards, pulled by his weight. It hurtled past the falling Flynne and snagged on the rope ladder, which bent under the sudden pressure, pulling taught and slowing the last few feet of Flynne’s descent.40 feet beneath us, Flynne released his grip on the rope and stepped casually to the ground. The bridge and rope shot upwards, the grappling hook flew free and crashed to earth 3 feet from Flynne. The elf brushed down his tunic and bent to pick up his equipment.Beside me in the narrow tunnel, Endo’s face warped as he turned into the form of a drow elf. For no good reason. Time passed.</blockquote>
