XIII. Flooded Quarry - Trip Two

[AleBelly]

Ciar passes his Everbright Torch to Fulp again (temporarily) and indicates he will sneak down using his dark vision to see if there is a guard and to see if he can remove the guard without making any further noise.

"Invisible don't work in the dark, Bingus. It's our body heat what gives us away. Besides, I'll stay clear of the pools as best I can. Just want to see if there is a guard."

Then Ciar sneaks down the rope...

Actually, it does work in the dark on animals (as Sylvan said). But Sylvan will let Ciar go on ahead.

Sylvan also wonders why he called himself Bingus again.

Ciar hands the everlit torch he's been carrying to Fulp and begins to sneak down the thick rope without making a sound.

No action required.

Sparrow smiles at Bing Sylvan. He then moves to the hole and watches Ciar descend, listening intently for any sound of combat or worse.

He is ready to go down next as soon as he is given the signal from below.

Fulp likewise awaits his turn.

[dmw71]

Sparrow and Fulp lead the rest as the group begins to form a circle around the hole, hoping to gain a vantage point as they watch the halfling slowly descend in silence. The halfling appears mere feet off the ground when, from further within the cavern below, a loud cry is heard echoing in a language unfamiliar to anyone except Nighttail. "Uh, oh," your kobold companion sighs. "Ready the snappers," she translates in the common tongue for the benefit of the rest. "They're gonna stir up the turtles," she cautions.

[AleBelly]

Sylvan shakes his head. "Hold still, this may be a bit prickly" he says to Fulp, the only one remaining above the drop that isn't at full health. He rubs holly over Fulp and himself, chanting

Lig dúinn leá isteach sa solas i súile ár gcairde ainmhithe

"OK, that should keep us out of the sight of those snappers and let us get the jump on 'em. Nighttail, you go before us."

[onlyme]

Fulp whispers a thankyou and proceeds in turn.

[OGRE MAGE]

Sparrow gives Sylvan a funny look but says nothing.

He then addresses Nighttail. Does that mean they saw the Halfling and the alarm has been raised? Or do they simply "stir up the turtles" every now and then?

He gets ready to slide down the rope if the answer confirms that Ciar has been spotted.
