Still Stuck
Subject: Re: The Mountain; One last night of peace
Farron, seeing Cadfael's obvious confusion, steps toward the hole and looks up into it. (OOC - He wants to see if the sides of the hole are too smooth to gain purchase or if perhaps the sides are rough enough that maybe Jack could do some scouting up the hole. If it looks promising, he will have Jack scurry up the hole and report back on anything useful. /ooc).

No, and anticipating a big battle today, Farron didn't leave any open slots, either.

OOC: Can this be what Slash means when he says we're near the end? Stuck in a hole? Kinda anti-climatic. . . We just wait here until midnight, until the world ends. . . :)
Mission swallows his frustration, and refuses to look at Cadfael. "Right," he says, unslinging his pack. He removes the pitons and mallet he bought from Gully. "I need rope."

Even Jack would have a tough time climbing these walls. They are as smooth as cut stone can be.
You could throw him. :)

Seeing that the walls are far too smooth for even a creature as small as Jack to climb, Farron quietly returns to his spot nearby and says nothing. After a minute or two he will circle the area looking carefully for anything that might look like a sign or a door or any feature at all in the room, aside from the hole, the rusty pully, and the dust.

[search roll]
Farron examines the room carefully, moving from wall to wall and running his fingertips lightly over every surface.
In the end, he is forced to admit that the room is exactly what it looks like, an ancient and unused man-lift shaft, the lift itself nothing but dust on the floor.
It doesn't look like anyone has used this shaft in centuries.

Does Garyth still have his rope, or did it get left behind climbing down into the sewer?

He still has it.

OOC: See, now's about the time for someone to cast Magic Missile on the darkness. ;)
Rennik, staring up into the blackness, cocks an eyebrow with an idea.
"I could try firing an arrow up there. If we wrapped the tip in cloth and lit it, we could get a better idea of how the tunnel looks."
He will go about arranging the arrow for such a shot.
