| Jaral scoots the sizzling goblin remains to the edge of the ravine with his foot and gingerly nudges them over the edge. He turns back to the rest of the party, his eyes downcast. "Sorry, I couldn't listen to that anymore.
You get up that rope if you're going, Caby. Make sure you drop right back down if you see that big one up there." | |

"Does anyone have a mirror I can borrow?"
[OOC]
Tagor does.
[IC]
After borrowing the mirror from Tagor, Caby sheathes her short sword and dagger. Figuring she'll need some light while up there, she cuts some length off her rope to attach it around her waist so it hangs as she climbs. Then she climbs the rope.
When she gets near the top, she'll stop and listen for a full minute, to see if she can hear anything at all. Then, she'll hold on to the rope with one hand and wrap both legs around it to hold on while she uses the mirror to see if she can get a glimpse of the immediate area around the hole.
If she sees nothing, she'll pull the lantern up and bring it up into the hole (holding it by the base, pushing the lantern up) and then slowly peek her head up, just enough to see over the edge at what is in the room.
If she sees danger, she'll immediately duck down, bringing the lantern with her. | |

| The lantern gets the rope a bit hot, but not dangerously so over the short term. When you climb up, you find that the hole makes a vertical tunnel, 3 feet wide, which continues upward into darkness beyond your lantern light, which reaches 30 feet. It is all dirt. There are evenly spaced depressions in the dirt which lend themselves to use as foot holds. | |

Caby will continue up. Once she thinks she's reached what might be close to the top, she'll pause and re-asses the situation. | |

When your light reveals what you believe to be a big gap backed by a dirt ceiling, you seem to be about 20 feet from the top rim of the hole. The rope seems to be anchored in another brass ring set into a heavy wooden timber in the ceiling. That would make the whole vertical tunnel about 40 feet long, or high, depending on your point of view. How close to the top do you get? | |

Caby continues to climb to within 10' of the rim. There, she takes an arrow from her quiver and sticks it into the earth until the shaft is half way in. She does this so that the shaft angles up about 5 degrees from horizontal. Then she hangs the lantern from the arrow.
Once that is done, and the lantern is no longer hanging from her belt, she gauges to see if she can use the foot- and hand-holds instead of the rope at this point.
If she can, then she will get off the rope and brace herself there to listen for a solid minute to see if she hears even the slightest noise coming from above - a brush of fabric or a pebble falling or the steel of a blade sliding from its scabbard - anything at all.
If she hears nothing, then she'll slowly climb up, as quietly as she can, watching above her (and then eventually over the rim) for any sign of hostile movement.
If she senses or sees anything that is an immediate danger, then she'll duck back down and | |

| Your lantern and foothold plans go as conceived. Your listening eventually reveals raspy breathing, but very muffled and distant. | |

Damn... should have worked out a signal for everyone to come up without me having to go back down... Think we can do this with just the three people, though.
[IC]
Caby leaves the lantern where it is, gets back on the rope and climbs down to where she is just out of the hole. Then she points to Jaral and Ducats and whispers loud enough for them to hear, "Come up quietly, one at a time. It's about 60 feet total."
Then she climbs back up. She'll perform the same procedure at the top, only this time she'll tie the rope onto the lantern handle and bring the other end of the rope up with her all the way to the top. When she's at the top, she'll back away from the hole in the opposite direction of the breathing so that she's out of the lantern light. She'll hold the rope tied to the lantern under her foot and ready her bow and nock an arrow. | |

| Ducats, then Jaral follow Caby up the rope.
As soon as about 1 foot of Caby has cleared the rim of the hole, you all hear an arrow released. | |

Caby quickly scrambles up out of the hole (movement action), shouts, "He's shooting!" and then readies her bow and returns fire, if she can.
[OOC]
Probably not well lit up there, so I would assume the -4 for blind shooting is in effect again? That's fine, because I'm still +4 To Hit as long as he's within 50' so it cancels out.
Rolling To Hit and Damage, just in case Mike lets me scramble and shoot in the same round...
(and, of course, I'm back at work and thus unable to see the results of any dice rolling... blah) | |

| Caby scrambles out the hole. From below you see her spin about on her knee, pull, and shoot. You hear an arrow thunk into dirt in the distance.
Ducats climbs out of the hole and shoots his bow. You hear a grunt, a short shout, and footsteps coming toward you from the shadows. | |

If there is time, Caby will let lose another arrow. If not, then she'll drop her bow and draw her sword and knife.
[OOC]
Rolling for either, just to keep it moving as I'll be in a meeting for a few hours tonight. Oh, and grats again on a great hit, Cole! | |

Jaral pulls himself through the hole and rolls of to the side in order to find a clear line of fire. He draws his bow and lets fly an arrow!
