El steadies themself with the sudden light from Verim, calming a little they tug their shield up from the dirt and tucking away their hand crossbow El draws their longsword. The sword seems rather plain but with a clearly unique design, made of some dark metal that casts little reflection making it hard to track in the light. Instead of attacking though El moves to create an effective wall with Eldeth (standing at T4). As they move across, keeping their shield the Elite Drow, El calls out "Ha! You call yourself an Elite? Look at you, couldn't even defend your priestess against a rat with a spoon!" despite their apparent randomness El subtly wreaths the words with magic.
Looking down, the rope disappears as Tobias's darkvision fades. He takes a breath and says a quick prayer. He begins a slow and steady descent behind the quaggoth.
Tobias moves slowly down the rope, getting 15ft down.
Elite Drow 2
The Drow hears El's words but shrugs them off. Determind to do the priestess proud. He looks over at El but then sees JimJar readying his own crossbow. The Drow aims at JimJar and releases a bolt that flies towards the deep gnome. Piercing his shoulder.

After his failed attempt to light the enemy up Sarith moves closer to JimJar at S3
You hear Drendil in your heads and then see the prince run over to the Drow. The Quaggoth moves slowly in comparison to the quick and nimble Drow who ducks in time to avoid the 2 swipes from Drendil before feeling a seering pain as a bolt from JimJar's crossbow sinks into his side.
Meanwhile, above, Ilvara has made her way to the lift.
Cyndral runs in with his sword drawn, the Drow, now screaming in agony moves to one side and Cyndral’s blade hits against the leather armour of the Elite Drow and doesn’t do any damage.
From the relative safety of the cave, Gnarls resists the urge to charge the Drow, knowing that to return back to the fray would mean doom with his tiny legs, and fires another crossbow bolt at the Drow, his sense of urgency increasing
Gnarls’ bolt pierces the flesh above the Drow’s other knee. He falls forwards for a second before slowly getting back on his feet. Gritting his teeth with the last of his energy.
Verim peers over the top of his shield, the dryness of his lips getting to him, he takes a long sigh and swallows hard, he picks himself up, using the shield for support, it’s illuminating light emanating from his shield, Verims light turns deep purple as do his eyes and colour in his veins. Verim puts his hands together and charges his Eldritch Energy from his shield in a blast.
El takes a different approach, spurred by the bravery of their companions, they approach the Elite drow from his right (Q5 or R5 if that puts El out of the light) aiming to keep his attention away from their escaping companions. They take a swing at the drow with their longsword and shout at the quaggoth-Prince "Hey Drendil! Show us how much you wanna get back home!"Bardic Inspiration
As El takes a swing at the Drow, the Dark skinned elf grabs the blade with his hand, stopping the attack. Blood begins to trickle down the blade before the Drow pushes against it.
Managing to adjust his grip, Shishakli continues to make his way down, reaching the cold running water at the bottom of the rope.
Shuushar, Topsy and Turvy all run slightly ahead of Gnarls into the small passage way.
Elite Drow 2
In a desperate attempt to do his duty, the Drow throws down his crossbow, leaving his shield on his back and draws his sword. He looks at the three creatures surrounding him. The peculiar looking human, the half-Drow that has been casting spells on him and the hulking Quaggoth that’s getting ready to swing again.
He looks at Drendil and attempts to plunge his sword as deep as he can.
Shortsword Multiattack Against Drendil 13 Damage: 7 Piercing Plus 4 Poison Damage if hit.
26 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll. Piercing Plus 8 Poison Damage if hit.
The blade plunges into Drendil and the Elite guard twists it while it rests inside, the poison on the blade sinks in but doesn’t have too much of an effect. The Drow then pulls it out before shoving it into another section of Drendil’s abdomen. Drendil stays standing and growls in pain and anger.
Drow Elite 3 makes his way towards the lift and it begins to lower.

Re-roll for Buppido 4
Buppido moves 30ft down the rope quite easily, the occasional drop of blood drips down.
The Drow turns all of his attention to Drendil and begins to parry of the claws of the beast before he feels two bolts Male their way into his back. He falls forwards and whispers “I tried my best” as he lies on the floor, a small pool of blood soaks the ground around him and he remains silent.
Ront moves down 30ft of the rope, his muscular arms doing all of the work as he continues to move down the rope.

Tobias continues down the rope. Feeling more confident, he allows is soldier instincts to kick in, and quickly descends the rope.
(If another Athletics check is needed, 12)
Getting to the end of his climb, he shouts down to the others, "The priestess will be coming soon with more guards! Finish this one off quickly!"
Verim is still struggling to focus as he sends out the blast of energy and it goes wide.
Tobias manages to get another 30ft down the rope with only 55ft below him. (Using your first roll for the journey down)
