Tac reenters the tube and again rides down to the lower level. Yet unlike the trip before when the tube stops he is no longer looking out at an empty room.
Standing before the tube shaft as if waiting on the rogue is a gnome.

A gnome of average height (for a gnome at least) stands fixated at the spot where the stone tube was moments ago. His bright blue eyes shinning seem to be the only glowing radiance about him. The rest of his robe is covered in dirt and mud, as though he crawled though a very tight place to get here. However, he does not seem to notice these facts.
What he does notice, however, was that someone finally appeared though that stone tube. As soon as he spots the human, he starts speaking.
"Excellent my good man! I thought I heard something when I was crawling in that crawl space. I hope you are just the man to help us! Well, not me, as I am currently alright, although I was a little worried when that tube was not here. Thomas was hurt badly, and Korr is also stuck. Thankfully, suggested I go investigate and look for help. I hope there are more of you? Well, not specifically of you, although that would be quite a feat. I have heard powerful masters of magic are able to duplicate themselves. Could you happen to be one of those masters of magic? If so, I ask that you can help Thomas out?"
The gnome's bright blue eyes stare hopefully up into Tac's. His green hair has a small kitten sitting in it, who yawns non-chanantly, ignoring the gnome's request.

Tac Abor, human rogue
Tac starts and reaches for his rapier when the gnome begins speaking. As it becomes apparent he's no threat, the young engineer relaxes, but then just finds himself gaping as the small man goes on at length. There's a lengthy silence after he finishes, as Tac raises his eyebrows, mouth half-open, trying to make sure he's done. Finally, Tac smiles nervously, stepping out of the tube to extend his hand.
"My name is Tac. Tac Abor. While I've found good math and proper leverage can work wonders on their own, I'm afraid that's as far as I go in the magic department," he says. He jumps a second, then. "However, my companion Dorian is a cleric, and might have the blessings to help your friend." Tac steps into the tube to press the rune to send it up for Dorian, then steps back out before the tube closes.
"He should be coming down shortly. In the meantime, where, exactly, are your friends? They're not on the other side of this, are they?" The engineer's brow furrows as he moves to study the stone blocking the entryway, looking for any ways to dislodge or shift it.

The gnome grasps Tac's hand and shakes it vigorously. "An honor to meet you, Tac Abor. I am known as Glimnock. And I am afraid you are correct. They are just past this stone barrier. You mentioned leverage; Are you by chance an engineer? Do you happen to have your equipment on you? I can fit in the crawl space up top if we need to move this block." Glimnock points to the small opening.
Glmnock then bows low and says "I wish to be of help to you, as you and Dorian are helping but strangers. How can I assist you?"

As the gnome and engineer inspect the block the stone tube comes down once more bring Dorian into the room. He then sends it back up for Karlous.
The stone block must have come from the ceiling as the hole directly above it is obvious. A standard old crush whoever walks by trap. There is a little room at the top to squeeze through and reach the hallway on the other side but no other way around the stone.
From the other side of the block comes some grumbling which must be Korr who is wondering what is going on.
[sblock=OOC] @Terrible Swift Sword your character is present and on the other side of the block. Please RP along if you wish.
Know(engineering) Block can be toppled over (from other side) with combined STR score of 30. [/sblock]

After several attempts of trying to scale the blockage Korr sits down with his back pressed against the huge rock. After sitting for a few moments korr removes his whetstone from and pack runs it up and down his greatsword, the distraction helps him focus is mind from the situation that he currently finds himself in. After what seems a decade of waiting, he hears voices on the otherside of the blockage.
"By Kord! Glimnock? Have you found us help to remove this blockage from our path? Thomas is getting worse by the minute and I'm not sure how much longer he'll last." Korr gathers his sword and stores the whetstone back in his pack. Not waiting for a reply he moves over to Thomas to check on him and give him a few sips of water from his waterskin. "I believe Glimnock has come through for us and we will yet again see daylight friend. And I promise you that when you are better rested and ready, we'll return to this damned dungeon and rip from her every bit of treasure we desire."

Tac Abor, human rogue
"Afraid I don't have the kind of excavation equipment that would make a job like this easy," Tac admits. "Without a full crew, it's just not practical. But from the look of it ... yes. The ceiling's just low enough on the other side that we can't do it from this side, but the higher vault on this side should mean, if we can get enough muscle behind it, we can topple the block to open up an easier pathway. We just have to do it from over there." Tac points at the stone, clearly indicating it's opposite side.
As the tube comes down, Tac turns. "And here's a little more muscle now. Darion, this is Glimnock. Seems we weren't the first set of folks gone exploring down here. His friends are trapped on the other side. At least one needs some healing from what I gather. We can squeeze through up there--" he points--"and I'm reasonably sure with all our backs behind it we can open this back up and get them out."

Dorian Greenleaf
"Nice to meet you, Glim. Sorry, no time for pleasantries.
That sounds like a good plan, Tac. And I have maybe just the right magic to help us topple this thing."
[sblock=OOC]
Would it be helpful if Dorian enlarges before the strength check? Longer arms = better leverage and more mass?
