Wendel looks nervous, and hangs back at the rear, but Dugel the dwarf gets a wicked glint in his eye and drums his fingers in the air eagerly...

OOC: Is the ceiling in the staircase high enough that Rufus could potentially throw the container of fire water up onto the landing?

Yes, that might be plausible...

Mads the Enlightened

Mads slowly draws his magical light away from the landing, and, with great care and attempted stealth, attempt to ascend the rest of the stairs and gain a visual for what awaits them at the top.

One of the hazards of dungeoneering...

You are in a dark, narrow stone stair leading up to a landing.

Rufus is behind Mads, Dugel and Wendel. The spider webbed passage is behind, and there are (apparently) voices ahead.

Mads orders his hovering candle flames to the rear of the company with a flick of his wrist. It is fortunate that there is a light burning ahead and that the tiny candle flames are so small, else whoever was on the landing would surly have noticed the approaching lights.

Mads creeps upward as carefully as every he may in order to get a peek at the landing (1d6=2), but alas! His sword belt scraps upon the wall before he reaches the summit.

"Whassat?" startles one of the voices on the landing...

Mads tenses and holds his breath, keeping himself as still as possible.

There is a very long pause, both parties waiting... listening intently.

Eventually Mads hears a voice quietly say:

"Kill the light. Quietly like."

And a moment later there is a small shunk as the shutter of a lantern is shut right down...

Mads the Enlightened

Realizing their severe disadvantage on the stair, Mads whisks half of his magical candlelight up and onto the landing. "Ho there! Friend or foe?" he barks. "A giant spider trails us, so speak quickly."
