The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter III

[Seonaid]

Chastity finishes her search and turns to the others. "I sense no evil around us," she reports. "Though that doesn't mean much." After a pause, she continues. "What is the plan?"

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand turns to Ayden,
“humm good thinking, but I don’t think we will need to use the spell.
If you guys lower me down ill be able to use my bull lamp, it will provide more light than a glowing piece of rope.”

 

[hippocrachus]

Not quite sure who Dunstand is or where he came from, and only relatively aware of the fact that he was following them to Dagger Falls and back, Calenthang looks at him with a lost expression. He notices everyone else speaks to him as if he's been there all along, so he quickly straightens up and plays at being informed.
"I shall lend my hand where it is needed, friend Ayden," he says, refering to the lowering of Dunstand into the well.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri grins at the others. "Since I am also new, I shall go after Dunstand," she said, a slight warning in her voice.

If we treat this newcomer like the enemy, he is likely to become one, she tells Drogo. Please pass this along to the others. It is not wise to borrow trouble

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"OK. I would think it safer to lower the light before the person. But either way. Good luck, brave sir. We'll do our best to pull you out if you need it, and will follow you down whenyou're ready."

 

[Dhes]

“I thank you all for your words of confidants in me. I don’t think there should be too much trouble. It’s not like whomever is down there will be waiting for us right at the bottom of the well

Dunstand takes a piece of rope (50”) out of his backpack and fashions a makeshift harness for him self.

+11 use rope (take 20)

When he made sure that the harness is secure enough, he lights his bull lamp.
Taking the lamp in one hand and a dagger in the other, he than sits him self on the edge of the well.

He looks at the rest of the group with a big grin on his face.
“You guys ready for some fun?”

 

[Seonaid]

Chastity gets ready to hold the rope.

 

[Verbatim]

Pleased that the others found his plan a sound one, Ayden approached Sielwoodan as Dunstand began securing himself with the rope.

"Sielwoodan, while we are lowering him down, I would feel safer if your bow was at the ready should his optimism be misplaced, as none here can give him the protection you can with your arrows."

Once Dunstand was ready, Ayden looked to the others and then to the well as he spoke.

"Once more we place our fates into Tymora's fickle hands, may Finder distract her long enough for us to see what waits below."

 

[Dhes]

"Well, I don’t know this Finder you talk of, but any help is welcome.
But please don’t talk about Tymora, I don’t want her to notes that I left my necklace at the inn."

 

[Verbatim]

~Why would one of her faithful leave her symbol behind when they would need it the most?~

Grabbing the rope, Ayden held it up for the others to hold as Dunstand approached the well.
