Taines shuffles impatiently, mutterig under this breathe "...leave me here hold'n yer......rope.......pickty"

Hanging his head over the hole, Taines yells "What ya doing down there, tis nought the time for a wee picnic!"

Down below.

Crystin feebly begs Caine's aid, and, after checking the gemstone he has already captured, the generous fellow returns to the stricken Elf to help with her wounds.

As he brings forth a fortifying sip of brandy and a clean bandage from his supplies, Crystin manages a rueful half-smile and wheezes something prophetic about checking for traps.

Caine simply gets about the task at hand, operating efficiently in the dank gloom until Taines' ruddy face appears in the distant breach in the lofty ceiling and incautiously hails them. The Dwarf's voice resounds all about the chamber for a moment, before the brooding silence thankfully returns with renewed weight.

Caine cannot help but feel there are unknown eyes on his vulnerable back as he continues to administer aid...

OOC: How may hit points does Crystin have now.

Crystin is incapacitated on 0 of 6 hit points.

Crystin has exactly 0 hit points.

Like all level 1 characters, she will be slain at -1.

Yes, Caine will do the wound binding thing

OOC: Sorry I will wait until after a turn of dressing and binding wounds for healing from Caine to find out how many hit points I recover?

Mads lends his weight to the door so that he and Ulric are leaning against the stout timbers as it shudders alarmingly thrice more. Then there is silence for a time. One by one, the four Men notice that the strange chill seems to have passed, and all breathe a collective sigh of relief as Olaf and Rodrick are already backing away...

As the chill begins to dissipate, Ulric slowly backs away from the door.

"Let us return to the others and keep as far away from this door as possible. I fear the spikes may not be enough to hold whatever is inside. The dead are certainly restless in this place."

"Perhaps we can inspect the other two barred chambers while the others complete their scouting below? I for one do not wish to enter that pit with only a single rope as a means of escape."

Rodrick seconds the notion. "Point the way, Ulric"

Mads the Fair

"Yes, lead the way, Ulric," says Mads as he leaves the door. "Make sure you leave room to your right and left, so you don't get knocked over when Rodrick and Olaf run away from danger."

He rubs his arms. "We nearly lost the door without your help."

Olaf doesn't take offense...too much...as he was armed with his bow and guarding the small group's back, and he didn't actually run, just nervously shift from foot to foot. So, he is inclined to let Mad's jib pass unremarked.

"Yes, let's check the other bared doors, but not that one." Olaf points to the still closed door right at the T or the cross corridors, "If we open that one, I think the entire group should be here."

Ulric heads back to the corridor leading to the surface and rejoins the group.

"Let's check these chambers," he says pointing to the two remaining barred doors. He checks the first (OOC: top left on the last map) to see if it has a peep hole. If it does he will look inside the chamber befire trying to remove the bar.

"A little help," he asks struggling with the weight.
