The Knife

The Knife remains on watch, hoping that the situation in the tower is resolved before the wasp riders recover their courage.

Elnaerel

Elnaerel keeps the hatch open while the pirate does his part. She squints her eyes when she tries to see where the terrible undead is, covered in the might of the gem, in order to avoid it as best she can.

Feanol

Knowing what the box Darklin sent up is, she will move up and secure it and get it out of the tower.

Keg stares at the box Darklin tosses up through the open hatch, seeing Assamuk approaching dangerously close to he and Elnaerel at the access cover. Before either of them can do anything about it, Feanol sneaks in and grabs the box, quickly exiting the tower with it again.

The spectre keeps his face and head hidden from the light gem Keyon wards him off with, still slowly creeping towards the hatch. He doesn't see the box being taken out of the tower, but he does hear Darklin's comment coming up from below. Seeing no painful light coming up through the opening, and thinking he has another easy victim waiting for him, Assamuk floats through the hole towards the elf in the basement.

Outside, Feanol shows TK the ornate box she now carries, while the gnome keeps an eye on the sky above.

Keyon

The moment Assamuk is down beneath floor level, Keyon positions himself near the opening--though careful to remain out of the stone's path--to prevent a second escape. He waits for the space of two heartbeats. "Now!" He hisses just loudly enough for Keg and Elnaerel to hear. Keyon also glances at the hole that was plugged with the curious object from before.

Is it plugged anymore? I forget.

If the door slams securely over Assamuk, he will rush to plug the hole (if needed) with whatever is available. "Taking no chances with that beast," he mutters.

Feanol

Hearing the stone slam shut, she will urge Knife to join her, and head back into the tower with the box. "Well now we should be able to explore the tower and these at our leisure." Showing the box to all. Still not sure about Darklin's motivations. "Keyon, that was good work with the jewel."

Darklin

Hesitates just long enough for Assumack to get through the hole and Jumps onto the teleporter down below to get topside.

Elnaerel

The cleric drops the rope for the hatch to close. "Surprisingly, it worked." She says, obviously impressed with what just happened. She will rush towards the now closed hatch in order to untie and recover her rope.

"Scouting the cave, Feanol? I think we're done here, once Darklin comes back. Who knows if Assamuk himself would come back too through that, although I doubt it. Probably because he's undead. But we're pushing our luck here. I thought he was going to attack me or Keg on his way back to the hatch... It wouldn't had been that hard.

That gem was like a gift from the gods."

I guess the spike is unrecoverable, but we could make use of it as it is once we're level 5 and come back

The Knife

"What's that box? Where did it come from? Did you all get rid of Assamuck? Is everyone still alive?" The Knife babbles in relief at seeing that he's not all alone.

Did That Actually Work?

Darklin calls the monster below before leaping onto the teleporter symbol and appearing again with the others on the ground floor. The hatch is slammed shut and the last thing heard from below is the shrieking of the undead beast tricked into returning to its prison. Or was it?

Keyon remembers the tiny hole in the center of the floor and rushes over to check if it is still plugged, feeling the cold air streaming through the open hole. He looks around for something else to insert into the opening, possibly spotting the evil creature below when he peers through the darkness. He sees a misty vapor starting to form on the underside of the floor. I will need to know what he plans on filling the hole with. A pinky finger maybe?

Elnaerel collects her rope, reminding Feanol that this tower level has already been thoroughly searched. TK looks longingly at the box, wondering if there is another flying rug in there somewhere.

Feanol

Will offer a sheet of parchment to anyone trying to plug the hole.

Keyon

Keyon quickly places the brilliant gem directly stop the small hole to deter Assamuk from coming close. "Anyone got the original plug? Did you take it out again, Knife?"

Elnaerel

"I think the Knife has it! He was toying with the hole whole Keg and me were sweeping the floor. Quick!"

The cleric starts working towards the door and takes a look at her backpack. Are the spikes too thin for the hole?

Darklin

Drops his pack and starts rummaging through it. Pulling out a candle. This should work. Shove it in there and smash it in.

The Knife

" The hole inn the floor?" calls out The Knife. "It was full of glass. Like a broken bottle or vial or something".

Did That Actually Work?

Keyon places the gem over the hole in the floor and saves the day once again. He is handed a sheet of parchment, an iron spike, and a candle, the latter looking like his best bet to plug the hole completely.

TK watches from the doorway, fiddling with something in his pocket. Keg seems very distant lately, choosing to remain silent.

Keyon

"Umm...I mean..." Keyon juggles the armful of items pressed upon him and finally manages to sort them out. "Thank you."

He sends the Knife a sideways glance, catching his fellow rogue's eye and nodding meaningfully toward the hole. If TK doesn't cough up the plug, he'll go ahead and attempt to press the wax candle tightly into the aperture and make doubly sure it's well sealed--while being extra cautious to avoid any attempts to touch his hand during the process. Then he'll place a stone (if one can be located) atop the spot to mark it clearly.

If the plug is found, he'll place it into the hole instead.

Keg looks around and raises a brow. Well, did it all work?

The Knife

The Knife produces a glass stopper, of the kind that would be found in a potion bottle, from his pocket. "Oh, is this what you're looking for Keyon? I'm sorry, it just looked rather pretty. The kind of thing that I'd eventually find a use for. Here you go! He hands it over.

Elnaerel

"Well, it looks that we're save once more... Thanks, Keyon.

I'm still amazed that Darklin got to get the box and left the cellar in one piece. That was risky!" She says while she puts the spike back in her rucksack.

"What should be the next the step? It's getting dark, do you want to rest here or should we take advantage of the night to begin our way back? If those wasps let us, that is.

Rembemer that I can still ask Elhenestra for water once today."
