The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

[kirinke]

Teleri shakes her head at Seilwooden's actions. Show-off. she thinks in amusement, momentarily forgetting her own fears and doubts as she clambers down the rope. He's probably trying to prove that he's recovered from the wraith attack. she thought as she dangled for one moment before dropping easily into the water.

 

[Majin]

OOC:

Dhes - Not a problem about the jumping down thing. Your body length extended from the bottom of the rope to the water level would not be a problem, and the water itself cushions 10 feet of falling damage anyway so your good.

 

[Verbatim]

Wincing slightly as Dunstand's call echoed up to them, Ayden knew that if there was any small element of surprise, it had just been threatened.

~Any help you can give would be welcomed Uncle, perhaps striking the naga deaf and let us do the rest...~

Once the rope was secured, Ayden looked down once more and hoped that his arms would not fail him on the climb down.

~One arm at a time...don't look down...~

Slowly and carefully Ayden made his way down the rope and dropped into the water below, slipping on the smooth rock of the well bottom and drenched himself in the slow moving water.

~Damnations...~

Standing up and looking around at the others, Ayden shrugged his shoulders and waited for the others to finish their climb, trying to regain his composure as best he could.

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity waits until the others go down before climbing herself. As she goes down, she takes her time and looks around with care. Into the naga's den, she thinks to herself with a little smile at the dark humor. Once she is settled safely in the water, she puts her hand on her sword's hit and glances about.

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang makes his way down the rope and stands around, preparing to head-up the back of the party.

"Orchard falls is definatly going to get my laundry bill," Teleri muttered, squeezing out the wet from her shirt. "Well, what next my friends?" she asked, not bothering to hide her own misgivings and outright fear.
Only a fool would not be afraid. Only a coward lets their fear control them, she thought, remembering her teachers with some fondness.

 

[Majin]

Now that everyone is down and has had a chance to look around you can tell the south passage branches to the southwest and southeast, and the north passage disappears west, and is extra tight. If you would choose the north passage the party would be forced to pass through single file.

 

[kirinke]

"As my teacher Adralieani once said, the easier the path, the more likely it is to lead into a trap," she looked hard at both passages. "Does the diary give any clue on which direction the naga's lair lies?" she asked.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"I guess Rex will have to stay up here," mutters the druid. "Rex," he tells the dog. "Stay here and guard."

Drogo then climbs down the rope. "Uh. I can't walk through this water. Can someone give me a hand?"

 

[Velmont]

"Water have a tendency to erase all trace of passage, but I try to see which one is the most frequented..."

Sielwoodan start to looks for which passage is the most frequented, or any clue abour the Naga that his hunter skill can detect.
