"I thought that toboggan thing was crazy, too," Wilbur thinks. "But that worked out well enough. I guess I'll follow along."
Adventure 4
Day 1, Turn 1
4 days light, 7 days food, 1 day water
Climbing in the darkness is nerve-wracking, and makes the descent seem longer than it really is. Dame Simonetta finds that her new plate armor makes the climb exhausting. Her steel greaves clank against each ladder rung as she transfers her weight right foot, left foot, right foot.
At long last our good Dame is first to reach the bottom of the ladder. As she expected, it's pitch black down here. The air is dry, still, and quiet. She hears her comrades huffing and puffing and clanking above her.
Each Hobbet should probably step aside when they get to the bottom of the ladder, or else everyone will get stacked up in a big tangle of limbs! What is your process for navigating in the darkness as a group, without getting lost or separated? Help our audience understand what's preventing these Hobbetses from walking into walls, falling into a pit, or cracking their noggins.

Two minor administrative details:
1st, that's our new "armor in tight spaces" house rule, in action! Simply put the entirety of our new rule is, "Encumbered characters have a slower movement rate than unencumbered characters. Let's play!"
2nd, I did some quick math, and the party is carrying enough torches and lanterns for 96 turns or 4 days! So, I'm simply going to hand-wave it and keep track of light sources at the 'macro' level. If your lantern gets smashed, or you burn up all your oil flasks as weapons, we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. A lantern full of oil lasts 24 turns, so every 6 flasks of oil you burn up in combat would cost you a day's supply of light.
And you're not currently using any light, so there's that.
