Hmm. She'll have to tell Arun to tell the mages to aim for the elevator when landing then :P

Could also tie her rope to the elevator and throw that down; but it doesn't feel like we have the time for that do we?

Sorry for being so pokey. It would be difficult for the opposition to fire arrows up at you through the shaft; the elevator floor is in the way. So long as you don't mind giving them more time to do whatever, you could tie off and climb down. You would be potentially exposed whilst climbing down the rope, though. Would depend on how brave they are, what they're armed with, and whether or not they're afraid of an elevator landing on their heads.

Na, Kinetic drop with dynamic entry sounds good.
Surprise!

You mean let the elevator drop, then feather fall down in its wake?

Can we do that and still have a way back up? Because that sounds even more fun than the original plan. Kinetic Bombardment FTW!

I'm Chaïa Pomala, and I approve this message. :)

Hmm. It feels like we are talking around eachother here!

I (and probably Janus) envision this shaft as quite wide (for some reason). Wide enough that we can hop off the elevator and feather fall down. The other two would then feather fall from the top of the shaft down on the elevator again.

But I'm starting to realize that this shaft probably isn't very wide at all ... That is we can't just hop off and fall down because there's simply no space. (And just letting the elevator fall to the ground and quite likely break is probably not a good idea!)

Does this seem to be an accurate assessment?

But...but...kinetic bombardment!
If it's that narrow, we hardly have options do we? Keep going down or go back up. Up is a tactical situation we already had, and the Go-Ko rule states thats a No-Go. So, Lu? Would you like for me to go down on you...er...with you?

Hah. Let's go for it :P

Oh I see. Yes the shaft is reasonably narrow. You could maybe squeeze past the edge of the elevator and feather fall but it would be close. Doing so would leave the lift car abandoned and inaccessible from either end unless someone scaled the shaft to reach it. Dropping it does effectively the same thing, except it might not survive landing with its mechanism intact.

So I'm understanding right then, the plan is to let the car go and feather fall down in its wake?

Sounds about right. Worst case scenario, if the mechanism is damaged, between two mages and two charming and clever swordspeople, we should be able to kludge something together.

Incidentally, Janus, I'm rubbish at cultural references. What *is* the Go-Ko rule?

Yes, what's the worst that could happen :P

I'm glad that was a statement and not a question. o wo
