Starker:”The inclined plane is the simplest of all simple machines. If one of us who can walk on walls goes on the wall to the left of the opening and points the sharp end of a strong dagger along the wall pointed down while I send Cyrus (tied well with and holding on to a rope) to the right the rising side should wedge itself against yhe dagger as the floor responds to the weight of Cyrus. Should Cyrus’ weight not suffice we can send Jieves with armloads of weighty material. I suggest the point of the dagger be located 5 feet to the south of the door an a foot or so above the initial height of the floor.”

Starker:”If the fit is too tight, then scratch the surface of the wall to the depth of 1/2 the thickness of the narrowest dimension of the knife about an inch up from the point should suffice to allow the simple machine to gain purchase. You may use this magic dagger if you like.”
Starker ties a rope around Cyrus and tells the spider monkey to hold on and , when Xymox is ready, and, tying the other end ofnthe rope around Starker’s waist and holding on to it, sends Cyrus off to the right in Chadwck’s footsteps and , if necessary, beyond. Of that doesn’t work ritual up Jievs and have him start carrying mass to the right until there is a response. Perhaps the body of something we’ve killed or one of the empty boxes in the pointy arrow room filled with detritus.
Xymox takes position with the dagger. Cyrus walks to the right. Nothing happens. Jieves can only carry 10 pounds (STR 2). Jieves joins Cyrus. Nothing happens.
Reel Cyrus back in. Jievs will start to pile stuff up 10lbs at a time. Grab a crate, fill it with arrow heads, lather rinse repeat a la sorceror’s apprentice from fantasia.

Are you traveling back to the room full of bins and darts? Alone or with others? Jieves has a range of 60 feet.
Trolkarl will help carry items up. Let's start with the "skull room" and move backwards. Maybe the 3 bodies of the other adventurers? While the arrowheads are plentiful, there is a series of traps to cross.
Xymox: "I could magically message one of them, if you think it best." He says to Trolkarl.
That seems like a very good idea.

"What he said."

Xymox grabs the dagger from Starker and follows his directions.

Starker:”If you can send them a message tell them to stand well away from the side they were dumped into. It may soon rain barbed arrowheads.”

Where’s the nearest place we passed with 100 pounds or so of stuff (even corpse-y stuff)?
And we should all travel together, Starker thinks.
Starker:”Were you able to send and receive a message to/from our sub Tyr raneans?” (Starker finds himself very amusing.)
Xymox will use SENDING to send a message to Chadwick. Asking him if he and Kragen are ok, and what is their status/location.
Please compose your message.
Ummm...."Are you guys ok? Status? Location?"
Sent
Xymox to the group: "They are ok. Kragen is walking on walls and trying to get out of there."
Trolkarl will help carry items up.

Yartol assists Trolkarl in bringing two of the corpses from the mausoleum.
