He straightens, listening to the coin’s distant clink, and scans the passage once more, brows knitting. “If we’ve no cleverer path here, the calling book below remains our truest thread. I say we take it up again—carefully—and see where it leads.”
(OOC: Zheng cast the spell light on the coin(20 feet bright light and 20 feet dim light). Am I understanding correctly that when the coin was dropped into the pit the light is no longer visible.)

“I agree, magic is very happy to confuse the senses. The darkness may be a test we need to solve in order to continue much like the entrance to this tower. The owner of this tower seems to enjoy putting individuals in difficult situations. I think we should check the pit before returning.”

(OOC: Noted. Yep, when the coin was dropped the light dropped out of view. You have no idea why the tower is built in this way, but it is.)
