Still Not There Yet

"Show us the door, Cadfael."
Mission's voice is soft, but his hands are clenched, and his knuckles white.

I guess I didn't state explicitly, but I did imply, that Farron knotted the rope with a large tight knot at one end and had the elemental bury the end in the floor of the shelf at the top of the shaft. He assumed that when the elemental vanished (after 5 rounds) the rope would be anchored inside the granite by the knot he tied since the granite would have closed over the entrance hole the elemental would have made. Ty, please let us know if any of this is incorrect.

I think we had it leave the rope in the wall, didn't we? Hopefully, we should be able to escape the same way we came in.

That is exactly what happened.

OK, so we go out the way we came in.
I've memorized both Magic Circle against Evil and Invisibility Sphere. I suggest, perhaps, that I cast both of these spells at right about the time Cadfael is running back our way with Promise. If I cast Magic Circle first, then casting the Sphere afterward doesn't disrupt it (I think).
The problem with this strategy is that I then can't use any of my memorized copies of Command Undead, Scorching Ray, Burning Hands, Halt Undead, or (of course) Fireball.
So I suppose I'll wait to see what happens, and THEN decide which group of spells is more useful given the circumstances.
Since I suppose Cadfael is NOT going to show Mission the door, I'm ready to just while away what's left of those five hours. :P
