Matthias steps forward and says, "I do not wish to be a leader of any, here most of all. I will fallow whomever wishes to take on this burden, it is one thing to lead a group into battle and is another to lead then from captivity." He begins to work at undoing his belt, and adds, "Less anyone here have rope or a better idea, I think if we notch are belts together we could use them temporary as a sufficient substitute for rope and accomplish are task quickly."
"Thank you Elrik for your welcoming words and I am sorry to hear of your loss. May his soul reside in a better place ." He replied to Elrik and then he turned to the rest of the group "I would like to be of some help but I have never been in an adventure like this before and I do not think I would be that much help with the decisions ."
He turned then to Matthias while unfastening his sash " I do not know wether it will be strong enough, but we should not leave anyone we can in such a situation ."
Felipe replies to Krusten, "My name is Felipe, welcome to the group" Felipe turns to Elrik and say to him "What do you mean by stronger as a group?

In Character: Krusten nods her head to acknowledge the greeting of each person. She then looks at each of them as though trying to figure out their strengths and weaknesses. After a pause she simply says,
"Why are we here?"
Realizing that they are just as ignorant as she is about the situation she asks them what each has in common that will put them in the same place.
"This must be some kind of test, but by who and why?"
She then starts to concentrate on the immediate room, "Shhhh...: she says to the group as though she were in charge, "I'm trying to hear":
Search: 10 +3 = 13
Spot: 12 + 8 = 20
Listen: 20 + 8 = 28
Out of Character: Is it necessary to put all the bonuses or can we just tell you the final figure to save time? We are altogether now correct?
In game:
Your search revels little to nothing in this immediate area. As you spot around you can see that the man they are trying to retrieve from the spiked pit is fairly large, and will be difficult to lift from the pit, but this possible to do. You also notice the at sloped sides of the floor leading in to the pit are slightly glossy as if they are waxed to make them even more slippery.
Your keen ears discern nothing at this time.
Out of Character:
Doing the math in long hand helps me know you already added your bonuses. If you don't do out the math, then I assume the number posted is already the combined total of your roll and ranks
And. Yes you are altogether now.
Izumi remains quiet at Krustens request for a few moments. She strains to hear anything, but the room is silent.
She then responds to the new womans' queries, "The sign above the beginning alcove said "Trial of the Gods". We each as I can see have received a few items from our respective deities", she says as she knocks on her blade with the ring she received. "I do not believe the question is 'Why are we here?', but 'Why were we chosen'?" Izumi laughs, "Hells, I'm in my 40's with a business, a husband and two kids to look after." Izumi pauses after she says her last.(Her age should be shocking because she doesn't look over 30 years old.)
"I know one reason I'm here. My son is down here, we've been able to follow his trail of chalk directions so far, so he is alive somewhere down here. I will find my child and get him home."

Krusten looks at Izumi listening to her plight but finding it hard to have compassion over it. Having no children of her own and seeing them as a burden has made her cold towards any kind of mothering. Now having seen the situation in front of them she relays what she knows about it and asks,
"What do you want to accomplish here? We need to find a way out of this place, test or not I do not like my life in a game of death."
