Delve the Third

[Vile]

"Tche! Tche! Aye verily, double portals for twice the reward!"

BTW: When you scout, do just Rhod and Grampus move up, and then after they have checked things, wave the party forward, or does everybody move up en masse? If it is the former, let me know when Rhod waves the rest of the party forward. Thx

I was assuming we'd stick together, but if the party wants to stay back, that's okay as well.

I'm for sticking together, too.

The party heads for the double doors. Grampus fails to notice the cunningly hidden trap door, and halfway to the door the floor drops away, taking Rhod and Grampus with it! Archie, following behind, also falls in, but Alkman manages to throw himself clear. The party sees a gaping 10' square hole in the floor

MECHANICS
Grampus note trap door on 5 or 6, rolls a 2 FAIL
Trap set off on a 5 or 6; Rhod rolls a 5, trap triggered
Archie save vs Wands: 2 FAIL
Alkman save vs Wands: 19 SUCCEEDS

"Sigurd! Ivar! Gettest rope and make ready to rescue our fellows!"

[Brumbar]

Grampus looks around the pit. What does he see?

[riftstone]

Serech will call down the pit (not too loud) to see if there is an answer.

[merias]

Aldbane realizes he has no rope, so keeps a watch on the rear flank, sling ready.

[Makofan]

The pit opens into a chute that spirals down and out of sight. There is no answer from below

Thankfully Serech has 100 feet of rope

Were any of the departed carrying a torch? If so, do we see any hint of light from below?

I hope it's a bit premature to call us "the departed"...!
