While discussing their next course of action Ajantis notices Alora has gone missing. "Well, I guess the time for deliberation is at an end. Once again the kite takes to the wind and the tail must follow where it leads."
Neera turns toward Ajantis and speaks, "What? Are you feeling all right or is all that poetic hot air getting to your head? Oh I know! You should become a Bard! Ajantis the Bard! The ladies would LOVE you!"
"The ladies ALREADY love me, Miss." Ajantis winks at Neera.
OOC: I suppose the kite comment did sound a bit Haer'Dalis didn't it? Next thing you know he'll be calling everyone "my raven" and extolling the virtues of entropy.
OOC: I didn't think Minsc wanted flying lessons, but I had to check!
Minsc descends into Darkness. Literally. Unlike Alora, he doesn't even have Infravision. It occurs to him that this might be a crevice of "stinking evil", but he can't be sure, unable to see. Boo Squeaks at him to tell him to light a torch when he gets down to the bottom.
(Since he always follows Boo's Excellent Advice). Minsc finds himself in a smallish circular cavern deep within the earth. Rock surrounds him on three sides, with an exit to the east and slightly north. Outside, the torch illuminates a rock wall less than 10' from the mouth of the entrance.
If all of the party descends into this space, it is going to become very crowded in here.
OOC: Since she is MIA, it might be wise to have Aerie descend down as well to be with her protector and gives them a healer and spell caster if things go amiss.
Indeed. Aerie likes being down here even less than the main dungeon, and she visibly shivers when she is climbing down through the tight hole., but she is soon down to join Minsc (and Alora).
Jaheira looked at the rope, leading into the unwholesome pit, with disdain. That said, it was largely preferable to being stuck with Anomen. Calling down, she asked, "How much room is there?" After all, if they could squeeze one more, she would escape.
OOC: So I commented but it didn't go through Here's to hoping it won't double post.
Neera will yell into the dark pit.
"Hey! Do you guys need help down there? I'm not really a fan of jumping into Dark Pits but I also don't want to split us up in the case of that there might be monsters still up here!"
Neera then will yell and jump back in terror before yelling, "IT'S A MONSTER!".
Neera skips over to Anomen and looks at him in the eyes trying to look as adorable as possible.
"Awww, we just play with you because we love you! Well, I actually don't know any of you that well but you haven't tried killing me yet so that makes you all my friends! If it bothers you that much I guess I could tease you less. I'm sure we could get some fun out Mr. Shiny-Pants Ajantis over here. Er, down there. Wherever he is."
"Back at the Order, I'm actually known for my comedy. 'A paladin walks into a bar and detects evil, then kills everyone." Ajantis roars with laughter for a moment before realizing nobody else is laughing. "Well, perhaps some humor doesn't translate. Phandalyn always loved that one."
Still chuckling to himself, the paladin begins his descent. "Watch out below, heavily armored hero on the way down!"
OOC: The GM's nickname for Anomen in game is Buttnomen (replace the first part with a synonym. ) Part of the problem is how long the game takes to advance to the point where you learn WHY he acts the way he does. Up until that point, the game kind of loses the female player's interest in him long before then, so you really have to stick it out, and some players just aren't going to bother.
Ajantis makes it down the rope easily. Aerie and Minsc have to move to make room for him. Aerie goes outside to wait.
Alora will wait for the big, burly fighter types to show up. Once she has Minsc and Ajantis to hide behind she will approach the sound of the voices (assuming Minsc and Ajantis are willing to approach them).

"Minsc, be very quiet and I will explore," Alora whispers. She then creeps towards the entrance to see if the coast is clear.
Alora heads south. After 20', the corridor splits, going both east and west (roughly). She can't see anything in either direction.
OOC: Sorry for not being on yesterday. Real Life... UGH.
Neera will yell into the dark pit.

"Oh. It's just Anomen, false alarm!"
Neera then giggles at her own joke.
