Up or Down?

OOC: How deep is the hole?
Mission shrugs at Garyth's comments, and notes how the warrior looks sideways at Cadfael. "The important thing right now is to get down there, and set up."
He unrolls his rope from his pack. "We might want to use yours, Garyth. Mine was scorched in the explosion."

Like the previous tunnel, this one is 25 feet deep. Though, of course, this one doesn't have 5 feet of water at the bottom.

Garyth nods and sets to work tying the rope to something sturdy.

I guess all I really need here is a general check in from everyone with a "we camp" type thing. I can write up the next turn then. Any special arrangements for camping should be noted.

(OOC: Er. We Camp.)
Rennik shows interest in the idea of having the party set up camp in the tunnel, as it would offer greater protection from predators. However, he feels it makes the watch difficult. Someone should definitely stay topside on watch, to be sure the rope stayed secure and there was a viable escape from the tunnel itself should it too be blocked, or otherwise not an acceptable route. But that would leave those below vulnerable to anything coming up or down the tunnel, unless a second watch was posted underground.
That in mind, it might be best to camp above ground, so the group would get more rest. If we tied the rope off anyway, and let it dangle, it would always be possible to slide down the rope underground if a H'rugda or swamp dragon came upon the camp.
With that, he asks for what the rest of the group thinks.

Garyth agrees with Rennik.

Cadfael is still feeling like crap and gets a headache when he thinks about trying to catch up with all these messages and say something intelligent. So he'll just go along with whatever ideas the rest of the party has re: camp so Ty can get on with another turn.

Sa'id would rather camp in the sewer with one person on watch at the top of the hole and another directly underneath in the sewer, but will defer to the judgment of Rennik and Garyth.
