As it turns out, I will need to withdraw. RL will begin to keep me too busy to play in the number of games I am currently playing in. Thanks for the opportunity DM.

I'll try to get myself updated by tomorrow bit backed up yet again.
Iliberos will also cast a spell to detect magic in the trove, "A truly amazing find in a place of such filth and darkness. Who knows how many such hidden places there will be down here..."
Iliberos fires his bow at the creatures that have swarmed Djal and the way out. Longbow Attack
His shot skips off of the ceiling and clatters uselessly to the floor.
Iliberos nods to Zukhan, "Yes, let's".
Iliberos turns to the Unchained, "Do you believe you can force it open or must we attack it with blades?"
Iliberos summons a Chromatic Orb and throws it at the giant spider. Ranged Attack Spell Damage -
"I could rain an arrow down but firing into the darkness may just waste the few precious arrows I have left..." Iliberos will cast Mage Armor on himself right before heading down.
Iliberos maintains his use of the uncomfortable harness. Hoping that the others will catch him when he falls, the benefits of being last... Athletics
DM:
A bit short on the GP! "I would like to take the last watch".
The forsaken elf nods in thanks at the Brother. "Yes, rest..." DM: As I do not have the books with me presently, can I use a full rest to attempt to learn a spell from the spellbook that we acquired with the death of the Necromancer?
"I do not relish the idea of further climbing..."
Sorry for the delay there, RL's been brutal lately.
Iliberos stabs the Goblin once more for good measure, "I suspect it will be like this the whole way down".
Iliberos flinches after being struck but fires once more at the spidereye goblins. Longbow attack: - Damage - Critical Damage -
Brother Theodor, Zukhan, Iliberos: "My friends, we are not alone".
He raises his bow and draws an arrow looking into the gloom to see if he can spot any threats. Perception
Iliberos steels himself for what may once more be a painful fall.
Iliberos gives the explanation of what he sees and nods to Brother Theodor, "I see no other way around that idea else our trip will be ended before it begins".
Iliberos curses in pain, "My friends, the walls of the Chasm down here are no longer natural rock but a dull gray and barely glinting metallic surface. It seems to be entirely devoid of pock marks or handholds even places to wedge a piton. The damned thing is hard to be sure. That said, can uh someone pull me up?"
Thanks for botting me DM, I believe I am "back" back. Thursday night though I'll not be able to post as I need to finalize legal documentation.
Iliberos cracks his neck and slings his bow over his shoulder, "Let's hope that the entire way down is not like that". Using the climbing kit, Iliberos heads down to the next "station" with his allies.
Iliberos breathes and steadies his hands as he descends once more into the Chasm. Athletics
The elf's climb begins steadily enough, the next 15' feet he practically slides off of the rope and only through sheer luck retains his hold.
Iliberos grimaces at the climbing requirements and makes his way down last. Athletics #1 - Perhaps it is self fulfilling prophecy but the Necromancer immediately falls.
Catching up now, hopefully I'll be able to be caught up again as per my normal posting rates.
Iliberos peers over the side with a spell ready on his lips to aid Lhienne should she need it.
Iliberos remains silent as the newcomer joins, distrustful by nature the Forsaken Elf does not fully trust the man yet. As the group discusses options, "I can see quite well in the dark, perhaps I should be the one to be lowered".
"If we stay here, the fires will no doubt attract some attention, we must be on guard..."
Iliberos nods to Nestor as he slips the claimed spellbook into his backpack, "Wise advice indeed".
Wizard - Level 2. HP = 4
Iliberos heads out from the tent with the potions in hand, "There are a few healing potions here. Lhienne, Unchained, I think you'll need these the most". Iliberos shrugs at the Necromancer's bleeding body, "Do we stabilize and question him?" In the meantime, Iliberos leafs through the book, curious as to what it could contain.
BUMP - Been fun so far!
Iliberos attacks the Hound. Longsword Attack - Damage
Iliberos gasps in pain and summons a magical orb to smash upon the head of the Necromancer. Ranged Attack
Iliberos picks up the cup and swirls it not taking a sip quite yet. He walks closer to the experiments to "admire" the man's handiwork. Knowledge Arcana
"Tell me, have you been bothered overmuch operating in this area by Titanspawn?"
Iliberos responds, "Yes, I'd certainly be interested in the process. Few have the ahh, stomach for such delicate work". Iliberos turns to the Unchained, Zukhan, and Lhienne mouthing, 'stay here but come in if you hear battle...'. Iliberos is not sure about Djal's gambit but for now he would play along.
Iliberos is skeptical and pauses for a moment though he does smile and nod at the Necromancer's pronouncements. This is not the first time he has seen "work" not all of the denizens of Hollowfaust are savory individuals.
"Agreed, Xar, tend to your wounds and stay in the middle of the pack with me that we may press forward at least a bit farther".
Iliberos chuckles, "Was not entirely sure how that spell would effect such creatures. I've spent so much time ministering to the living my experimentation upon undead was somewhat limited..."
Iliberos drops his bow and draws his blade, he makes his way close to Xar, well as close as he can as the Elf is swarmed and attacks, "Cut your way towards me!" Longsword
Iliberos mutters a curse as he knows he is ill prepared to deal with such a threat. He sighs and draws his bow firing into the first swarm. Longbow
Iliberos casts Mage Armor anticipating danger now that it has found them.
"These skulls are a warning sign if ever I have seen one. We must proceed with all possible caution hereon".
Iliberos, a Necromancer from a city full of Necromancers gives a slight smile. "I should like to have words with this Necromancer".
"Hmm, they may well have removed his tongue..."
"How strange that he would be all of the way out here. I do not believe we should bring him back from whence he came, perhaps back to the wagon that he may rest and then return here?" Iliberos seems genuinely concerned about the man's well being now that it is clear his presence is not some sort of trick.
Iliberos curses and draws his bow once more. He fires an arrow at the Hound. Longbow Attack
Iliberos casts Chromatic Orb at one of the Hounds. Ranged Attack Fire Orb But his throw is errant.
Djal heeds the warning and draws his sword as well: "This person needs help!" "Or is it a ruse to lure us in? Who is this man, why and how did he get here". Iliberos is clearly skeptical but moves forward with his companions nontheless.
