Rufus says to Dugel, "If you still can use your enchanted shield it may be a good idea to use it in case arrows come up behind us".

Rufus moves on to the narrow stairs, looks around for any danger and climbs upward on them carefully using his thief senses to ensure the footing is safe, and to stay alert for spiders and traps.

Rufus scales the narrow stair as quickly and cautiously as he is able... it seems to go on and on and on. The Halfling's short legs are aching long before the stair ends.

Behind him, Dugel and Wendel seem to be falling further back. No matter, they can catch up in their own good time.

By the time Rufus reaches a new flat section his torch is beginning to burn low. There comes the echo of voices cursing and the sound of a struggle from somewhere off behind him... but he can't even see that far back in the darkness now.

Besides, a long way off ahead, he sees a tiny patch of brightness that might even be daylight? Is that a faint breath of fresh air on his face?

What now?

Rufus makes good toward the light, and after twenty minutes of variously crawling, wriggling and otherwise scurrying through the dark, narrow passage, passing other openings to who know where, Rufus at last forces himself out of a rusty, long disused iron grate and into the morning light.

He has apparently emerged half way up the side of the rocky knoll upon which Ket squats. The town wall looms high above high, while arrayed before him he sees the sludgy sewers of Ket draining into the choked up waterway that irrigates the surround patchwork vista of farmsteads and fields.

From within the tunnel there still comes the distant echo of pursuit. But from his vantage, Rufus sees the tiny farm folk beginning their day, and also spies several small groups of men who seem to be moving across the fields to converge upon a run down barn in the middle of nowhere... interesting.

With no need to wait here to be captured, and no better plan, Rufus decides to follow them...

(Rufus, please go to thread 44. Call it a bit of "refereeing" in order to bring the planets into alignment! )

Of course does! He spots a funny little fellow scurrying down the slopes of Ket, and hurrying after. Looks like he will make it to the barn just after Josiane, Dorgan and the mule.

Rufus is so happy to see light again, alive but still poor.

He hopes his friends below get out, but thinks its time for him to move on quickly..

OOC: Off to thread 44
