Rianne assists the others in keeping watch on the apparently-dead plant creature, and any other possible threats.

Rianne retrieves her own rope from her pack and hands it to Ariaana, "You can use this as well if you need extra."
"I have rope, but no skill in throwing things or jumping."
"Your assistance would indeed be appreciated, friends."
Rianne will also hang back and let the people more well suited to moving heavy things handle this.
"Perhaps one or two should address them, lest they feel threatened?"
"A whack on the head is probably more efficient, besides I believe it's best to conserve Aravashinal's spells."
"The armour on the carvings does seem to date from the First Crusade. Interesting. But yes, we should probably move on."
Rianne inspects the carvings thoughtfully
"If we're going to ask him questions, we'll have to be careful he does not cast another spell."
Rianne grimaces, "One of the monsters lashed me pretty hard with it's tentacles. I could maybe use some healing."
Rianne steps up to further loosely surround the attacker, "I'd really suggest surrendering."
Rianne approaches the downed attacker, "Now what do we do with him?"
Rianne glances at the newcomer, and decides to let Uldir try to calm him down for now as she unleashes another magical assault on the darkmantle assaulting Arianna.
Rianne attempts to hit one of the darkmantles flanking Arianna with another ray of frost.
Rianne aims at one of the monsters with a ray of magical cold
Rianne draws and loads her crossbow.
"Interesting.", Rianne moves up cautiously to have a look at the statues.
Rianne speaks to Horgus, in a strong voice, but not yelling, "First things first, We are definitely not abandoning anyone down here to be eaten by giant bugs and who knows what else, and that's that. We have struck a small blow against evil here, and been rewarded with the favour of the Father of Creation. I'd say that's a few hours well spent. As Kendren says we don't know how long it will take to get out of here, and it is very possible we'd have been forced to rest due to exhaustion, and I don't know about you, but I don't fancy having to sleep in these tunnels. This way we can press on longer and hopefully get out of here before we must rest." She then looks between Horgus and Annevia and speaks to both of them, more gently. "I don't know what history the two of you have, but I implore you to put the past in the past, at least until we are safe."
Rianne is awed, she never expected to witness such a direct divine intervention. She looks around at the group and speaks, quietly, The gods have not abandoned us. There is still hope, even amidst ruin."
Rianne readily agrees. "My aunt and uncle taught me to show respect for all goodly gods, and though I now follow the teachings of the Inheritor I do not believe she would begrudge respect shown to her allies against evil."
It's more fun if you invent a little something. You don't have to go into exacting detail if you don't want to or anything but it's more fun if you roleplay it out a little.
"The water in the basin is holy water. I don't know anything about consecrating a temple but it seems to me that applying holy water might be useful. And if anyone has a vial or flask we could collect some for later." Rianne searches around the temple to find a broom, and if there is one she uses it to sweep the floors.
"An undead creature? I have just the spell for this. I knew it would come in handy someday..." Rianne chants a short incantation before pointing at the creature, releasing a bright white ray of light
Rianne peers around the others. "Looks to me like he's been there for quite some time..."
Rianne inspects the basin and the area around it with detect magic
when Annevia cries out in pain, she turns back, concerned, "Perhaps we should give her one of the healing potions?"
"I'd guess either the place has been abandoned for some time or somebody really wanted that door shut. Or both." Rianne hangs back a little from the door, maintaining her light spell.
Rianne nods, "Seems wise to me. Best be careful though, if the place has fallen under a curse...Well there's no telling what could be hiding there."
"Potions? Let me see if I can tell what they do?" Rianne casts detect magic to attempt to examine the potions.
"Hmmm.looks like two potions to heal wounds and one to repair damage done by poison and disease and the like. Useful." When they reach the crack with the green light, she peers at it, "That looks...slightly ominous. But we should probably investigate it."
"I'm really starting to hate this place..." Rianne considers for a moment, "Hmm..snakes hate cold, right, let's try this." She fires a ray of frost at the snake that just bit Arianna
Rianne peers at the piles of rocks. "Looks like the rocks fell down just recently, we should probably move on quickly in case more fall.".
"You're in the lead, you lead.", she takes her place with the group, holding her light and peering off into the darkness.
Rianne attempts to salvage her missed crossbow bolt but finds it unsalvagable. "Stupid roaches. The grease was a good idea Kendren." She goes back to searching around the room (take 10 on perception for a total of 14).
Rianne fires another bolt at the roach after imbuing her crossbow with arcane energy again. "How about you just hurry up and die?"
Rianne moves to get a better angle , loads her crossbow, and fires at one of the cockroaches knocked off what passes for it's feet by Kendren's spell [ooc}I assume cockroach 2 is the one directly behind the one in melee with Alfred[/ooc] imbues her crossbow with arcane energy
I am also waiting to see how the cockroaches move.
"I wonder who was living down here? And why? Rianne peers around the area and the pile of debris for clues.
Rianne likewise falls into the middle of the group, her keen eyesight scanning the surroundings and her ears carefully listening for any sounds. .
"Can't blame a kid for not recognizing maggots that size. Not exactly something you see every day. Fortunately." She quickly renews her light spell. "Perhaps the man with the flail should act as a rearguard?"
Rianne moves to get a clear shot at one of the remaining maggots, deciding they don't deserve a crossbow bolt fires off a magical ray of frost at it.
"It looks like an enormous spider. I think it's dead, but I can see something moving around inside it. No way to tell if it might be something dangerous. Probably best to go well around it if we can."
Rianne also follows, taking her crossbow in hand on the way.
apparently the dice like charisma checks today.
Rianne fixes the noble with a disapproving look, "Master Gwern, you were fortunate not to be seriously injured yourself. Thank the gods for your good fortune and have a care for those less fortunate than yourself."
Rianne cuts up some bandages and passes them to Iolaire, Here, you'll probably be better at bandaging then me, if you worked with the clerics of Shelyn. I don't want to hurt him worse.
Rianne scoops her lit stone off the ground. "Here children, take this light, and don't wander too far, okay? We don't know what's down here, and the light will only last a few minutes in any case.
Rianne approaches the blinded elf and gently touches his hand, Your eyes were ruined in the fall, sir. I am sorry. Does anyone have something to bind the wounds with?".
I think it might be a good idea for somebody to get the align weapon effect.
