It is simply that I do not trust the words of bandits, even though they be captured. We should use extreme caution and be wary of everything around us, even though, or especially since, the captured has led us this far.
Do not be of faint heart Kron, the word of the bandit was merely to open the secret passage. We are well aware there are traps in here, but those we will have to discover by our own noses. See here, discuss now all that you wish to do, I will post the order at the appointed time of 9:00am EST Monday.
What about light, how will we see in such a dark place? I have some flint; should we make a torch of some sorts, or will that draw too much attention to us?
Mage, your staff can prod, not so? Kron, you will have to judge which be more important: seeing where you are going or giving your place away to the enemies. *burp*
Be whatever the choice I will be to your rear so nothing will surprise us from behind.
Ariadne looks at the only Mage in the group and says "Horde is right, you can lend us your staff and we can use it as a rod. Kron and I can go down the stairs and you can stay in the outside with the rest. Just keep your eyes open in case the entrance is blocked, if that happens then you will have to throw a spell in order to open it again."
She then looks at Kron and raising an eyebrow says "Why are you so afraid? I did not know you were a chicken, she chuckles...* while imitating the movements and sounds of a chicken *".
