"Goodness!" exclaims Josiane, wide-eyed at her first viewing of Dieter's magic. (She is secretly glad to be relieved of her evil-smelling burden, though she silently rebukes herself for it).

She moves over to stand beside Dorgan as he examines the platform's workings.

"Yes...well, that's is one approach I suppose", muses Gustave, brow raised at the sudden disappearance of his burden and comrade in a display of augmented gymnastics.

"It seems we are now both free of burden my dear Josiane" he quips, "perhaps we..." and peters out, seeing her facial expression, turning away and scratching behind his ear.

Dieter rockets up into the cellar carrying the Dwarf with a scarcely believable jump.

Meanwhile the remainder of the company in the basement gather around the platform and the pedestal control.

It seems reasonable that the button on the pedestal should operate the platform. All that remains is to activate it...

Not easily, no. The pedestal is about 10ft clear of the platform, and the button plate faces away from the platform.

Dorgan will herd the others onto the platform and then push the button once everyone is aboard.

Was there another set of controls up top, Dieter can press the button up there?
