"No problem." Sielwoodan climb on the well, to have a better view, his bow in a hand, and an arrow on the string, ready to fire.

"Don't fear Dunstand, I won't miss." he says with a little sneaky smile.
 

“Ahh yes thank you young Elf, I feel a lot saver knowing that YOU are watching over me. Just remember, if some thing happens don’t shot the screaming figure, because that will be me.”

Seeing that every one is in position, he lowers him self in to the well, directing the light of the lamp towards the bottom.

ooc: small reminder a “Bull Lantern” has a clear illumination at 60-foot. I’m sure you know, but I just want to be sure that I see that that kills me.

As Dunstand is slowly lowered down the well he notes that the shaft itself goes on for about 50 feet as he breaks through into the open air of what looks to be a cavern about 20 feet in diameter. 10 feet lower marks the surface of the water level. There are two openings in the cave walls one north and the other south. The water here is 3 feet deep and flows south to north. There are small 6-inch long blind fish swimming about, and the bottom directly beneath the well is littered with copper, silver, and a few gold coins.
 

ooc
(Beware of coins in the bottom of pools! they are usually lures! woot!)
oh, teleri knows that Tyrinth can probably use domination like her sister. This scares her, but she's going to go on anyway. Elven honor demands it. ;)

Chastity holds the rope steadily, silently. Her thoughts are on the possible upcoming battle as she waits patiently for the next instruction. Torm, guide us in this, our newest venture. I seek honor only in your name, Great One!
 

Teleri's face is very pale, afraid at the thought of being dominated again, hand firmly clutched on her holy symbol and her short-sword, as if drawing some comfort from them.

Please Sehanine, please grant grant my friends and I the strength to overcome this creature's ability to dominate us. Please grant us the wisdom to overcome her guile.

she prays ferverently.
 


Dunstand takes in his surroundings, and sees that there is no apparent danger.
Although he is not schooled in animal lore, he doesn’t think that the little fish can be of any harm.

He makes one last quick inspection and shouts to the rest of the party.
"It looks fine, nothing here but water, small fish and (with a small laughter) free gold. It would be best if you guys pull me up a bit, so I can secure the rope to one of the hand holds. There is a final drop into a cavern of about 10 feet, and the rope is pretty much at an end. It can be a bit tricky for our Halfling friend, the water could be a bit to deep for him.”

When he is pulled up high enough so he can stand on the handholds, he asks for the rope to be lowered. He stakes advantage of the ropes length to make a knot with 2 ends hanging down, so that one end can be use to lower you’re self and the other end can be used to unfasten the knot.

+11 use rope (take 20)

When this is finished he lowers him self to the bottom and, find him self fortunate that he got a new set of (more rugged) clothes back at Dagger Falls.

He calls back up to the group and tells them.
“Come on down, the water is fine, just make sure that you use the end of the rope that I’m holding when you come down.”

ooc: sorry it toke some time for my response, I’m sure you are all waiting to get down here but it was my gaming night today. :(
Majin was it ok for me to go all the way down with out asking you first?
 

"I'll go down first." say Sielwoodan. He waits the rope to be secure, and then, he just jumps, his bow and arrow still ready to fire. But instead of falling fast, he simply tell a word and he fall gently down to the bottom.

"I thought you would like company." he say to Dunstand, as his feet touch the water.
