Having failed once again at keeping his footing, Thelso holds on to the ledge for dear life having heard the words of Inamar and Ennar. Once Welyan reaches him he will reach out and grab for his arm and begin to pull himself up.
"thank you my friend, the spear can be replaced but we must hurry across and Inamar has noticed something in the acidic pool below us and I don't want to be pull down...as I have almost fallen down already..."

Weylan kneels down on the ledge and grabs Thelso's muddy arm. With effort he is able to aid the dover in climbing back up onto the ledge without being pulled off himself, though there is a moment of teetering.
Inamar hears the badger sniff the air then turn and face down the tunnel, his lips pulling back as a low snarl rumbles from deep in his chest. A hostile, angry look comes over the badger's visage as it hunches its shoulders and stares fiercely at the way forward.

Distracted from the horror in the pool by the badger, Inamar frowns and peers down the corridor as well, her odd eyes piercing the darkness.
"What is it?" she asks the badger softly. "Something else coming?"
(Darkvision to 60'...probably can't see farther than that cuz I don't have the torch
)

The wide tunnel feels more solid underfoot, Inamar notes, a welcome sign given the muddy hazards in other parts of these underground burrows. The tunnel curves heavily as it extends outward bending out of sight, but a dull static of chattering rats can be heard now that Inamar's attention is drawn that way. Inamar thinks she hears something larger moving ahead as well.
Meanwhile NR4ZN places his treetrunk bludgeon into a carrying module basin on his back. He then lowers himself down to grasp the ridge in his massive metallic hands and swing his legs down to plant and brace against the earthen wall. Holding on by brute strength the zoder begins to shuffle along the edge.

Looking from the growling badger to the crumbling ledge at his feet, Weylan decides that while Inamar and the badger will likely be needing their assistance quite soon, that neither can they afford to fall into the mire and be stuck at the bottom when whatever is coming down the tunnel arrives. Decision made, Weylan begins slowly and deliberately moving back across the ledge.
Moving slowly, carefully, Inamar leans down and murmurs in a language she herself doesn't really understand. There's a flash of white light and a cracking noise, and more healing energy surges through the badger.
She then straightens up and looks down the passage. Sixty feet suddenly didn't seem very far at all...but she knew the others had problems of their own. Inamar lifts a hand and prepares to let another bolt of energy fly at whatever's coming down the passage when it comes into view.
(moar curing for Badger the Wonder Badger! 1d8+1. I think that's my 4rth 1st level spell, which leaves me with...uh...crap. None! That was my last spell. I'm down to cantrips and warlocky goodness.)

The sounds of shuffling and the clicking of claws on hard earth soon fade in Inamar's ears, until the only sound is once again the low chattering of many, many rats.
The trio on ledge Thelso and Weylan walking slowly, NR4ZN braced against the wall and hanging from the edge, begin to slowly and carefully make their way towards Inamar and the badger at the tunnel entrance.
Inamar expends a great deal of her magic and heals the badger again then lifts her hand, ready to hurl a bolt. At the curve of the tunnel she sees three little rats cautiosly poke their heads around the corner and sniff the air then proceed towards her, though still a long distance away and proceeding slowly and fearfully, sniffing the air and squeaking to one another. After the large and vicious looking rats the party has faced and seen earlier in the tunnels, these are reassuringly small with no spikey bone growths or blatantly sinister cast to their faces.
