If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The dwarf looks down the shaft and tries to listen, as does the little Quip boy.

DM: rolls dice.

Cadfan doesn't seem to notice anything. He mutters under his breath: "Damn old ears of mine..."

But the boy does seem to hear something. "There's something down there. No question. What do we do?"

Gareth waits for Davin to say something, but he's clearly thinking about going down and taking a look.

Davin listens closely, then nods.

"If there are still survivors down there, we should go help them at once. I know it isn't the safest choice, but we can't leave them to a fate worse than that already suffered by your friends here."

Udo intervenes : "It is not wise for you to go down, Gareth: the potion and ointment are just starting to take effect. Another wound and you might die for good. Besides..."

He walks closer : "Look at yourself. You can barely stand on your own two feet!"

Davin, Gareth and the others all notice it to be true. Gareth can barely stand, and would have trouble even holding a weapon efficiently at this point.

The brother nods. "I'm sorry, Gareth."

"This is why I'm going down for you."

"Fair enough, but be sure that I'm going down that shaft as soon as I can hold a sword. I may be some questionable things, but I'm no coward and I don't leave a companion behind."

Gareth sits and kets out a sigh.

Tudd mutters something, says more loudly, "Ok Bug.", then stands and asks the room in general, "Runch gonna be ok?" As he asks he grabs his morningstar and sets his shield on his arm and starts towards the basket.

Udo nods to Gareth and prepares his gear as quickly as he can. He starts to mutter a short prayer to Lothian.

Cadfan looks at the lot of you, Tudd, Davin and Udo, and nods silently: "That's alright. You three might make it together down on the platform, but it'll be crowded during the trip, especially if ya got some fighting to do in that tunnel below. Your movements might be impaired. One by one you might have more freedom to do as you please, however. What d'you say?"

Davin can feel Quip, the child, pulling on his garment. "Can I come too? I can help! I'm not dumb!"

'I dunno what that... ah... guard thingie is.... but I go first, you guys're hurt... k? I'm wantin' ta hit somethin' anyway." replies Tudd, looking down into the pit with a gleam in his eye. Tudd begins climbing into the basket.

Benoist

DM: Cadfan is a bit misguided in his feelings. I think it'll help for me to clarify before you make any other decisions. It is possible for the three of you to go down at the same time but the platform would be indeed crowded. Considering the dimensions of the shaft, careful movement would be needed, and you would incur some penalties in case of fighting, but that is not impossible. Having two people instead of three on the platform might make things easier for you on the penalties side, whereas just one person on the platform would not incur any particular penalties.

Take your decision from there.

"Yes, Tudd, I meant for you to go first. Obviously, you are a brave warrior." Udo pats Tudd in the shoulder in a friendly manner, and cklimbs into the basket along him.

"I think is best that we two go down, secure the place, and then make a sign for you to join us."
