"Look out! Icicles!" Helga warns, seeing the dagger-like shards of ice starting to fall.
Ragnar will advance quickly to try and assist.
Perception: 1d20+2
Attack:
Strength:
Her warriors speed causing her to react instantly, Anya takes a 5' step (D-12)and grabs onto Stefnir, her muscles bulging with the sudden strain.
Grab: Strength: and at the warning her eyes dart up to spot the icicles falling from the ceiling, causing her to lose some of her strength by the distraction.
At the sound of the ice shattering Jorgen jumps up Grabbing his spear and javelin. Without a word he vaults over the side, dashing through the freezing water towards the cavern at a flat out run.

Ragnar leaps forwards and grabs Stefnir from sliding down the icehole, but the ice next to Stefnir is just as weak and Anya collapses that when she reaches out to help. Her gaze is fixed on the icicles falling but that is not where she is headed.
Anya slides down the ten foot wide hole and then slips out of sight round a bend before there is a loud splash as she falls further.
Anya
Helga's shout shows that the ice is indeed falling but these little spikes and the surface ice dust clear leaving two dark clouds of crackling blue energy which seem to pull themselves free of the ice and float out a little towards the frantic sounds of the party.
Saorise shouts back to Jorgen and the boat, "help, help, we need HELP now!"
Perception Check:
Once she has shouted her warning, Saorise turns back and moves further inside , just in time to see the Dark Clouds seperate themselves from the ice and move in their direction. Cursing loudly, she lets fly at the closest one with a burst of icy cold from her outstretched hand.
Attack the nearst Dark Cloud with Arctic Ray (Ranged Touch Attack):
Damage (Cold):
"And bring rope!" Helga shouts as she edges toward D10. "Anya can you hear me?" she demands.
Drawing her bow back she looses an arrow at the nearest cloud with a muttered curse.
Attack: Damage:
Ragnar says something unintelligible, though with the force of an oath. He looks between the clouds and Anya's hole and curses again.
"Uh guht ruhpp.", he rumbles,"Uh'll tryn guht huh."
Kurn is surprised when Jorgen jumps up and moves toward the cave entrance. "Where are you going, you're in no condition for dangerous situations?!". Kurn shakes his head and looks at Ari "what's wrong with these people, just running off into trouble without even knowing what each of them is capable of?"
Kurn then picks up some rope and looks at Taggrik "with your permission, I'd better see if anybody is hurt" and then climbs off the ship and moves towards the cave entrance. At the entrance, Kurn lifts his head and hands in prayer. " Krakis, allow your faithful servant into your house without fear or danger". Kurn then heads cautiously into the cave.
Survival:

Swim:
Her fury seeming to keep her warm despite the freezing water Anya calls up in a strong voice "I am unhurt! Yet I am in no mood for a swim, so drop me some rope! And be quick about it!"
Attempting to see what she can in the darkness Anya peers about herself while she treads the ice cold water.

Stefnir staggers back from the grasp of Ragnar with a mumbled "-anks." Then he readies his spear and takes a moment to study the dark clouds.
He calls out to the rest, "they look like some kind of storm creature or elemental."
Saorise casts an arctic ray at one cloud and the bolt appears to travel right through glittering off the ice wall. Helga tries her luck with an arrow but the feathers have twisted in the quiver and it barely travels ten feet before veering away into the side wall.
As Ragnar lies down,
Ragnar
Anya cannot see the rope yet.
Anya
One cloud floats gently down towards Helga and another towards Saorise. Each shoots out a short forked bolt of energy.
Neither bolt travels more than a few feet before it shorts out with a crackle and a buzz.
Helga
Ari after thinking for a few moments, decides to leave the relative safety of the ship and give his brother plus the others a hand. He climbs down taking with him a rope to moor the boat as best he can.
(We wouldn't want it floating off, would we)
He will then procede to follow his brother into the cave, moving at speed to catch him up.
Ragnar curses again, pulling up the snagged rope and methodically trying to swing it through the twists in the ice tunnel.
Attack:
Survival:
Perception:
Helga skips back a few feet and spins to face the motion she saw, drawing an arrow to her cheek.
"Someone guard my back!" she cries, watching like a hawk for any sign of motion. If she sees a target she will shoot at it.
Anya straps her spear to her back and feels around for any handholds, if she finds any she attempts to climb her way up.
Perception:
Acrobatics:
Eyebrows furrowed at the clouds apparent immunity to her attack, Saorise moves to towards the cracked ice and casts a spell, hoping to strengthen the surrounding ice and prevent further degredation so that Ragnar doesn't end up following Anya down the hole.

Eyebrows furrowed at the clouds apparent immunity to her attack, Saorise moves to D13 towards the cracked ice and casts a spell, hoping to strengthen the surrounding ice and prevent further degredation so that Ragnar doesn't end up following Anya down the hole.
Saorise's actions cause ripples of ice to form under Ragnar, they spread out and down the side of the hole.
"Thank you" Stefnir shakily states. "I would volunteer to go after her". "She is only down there due to trying to help me". "Tie the rope around me, and lower me to her, then we can pull both of us out with us helping to climb". "I can also give her a spell to help fortify her against the cold".
Realizing the danger of loud noises causing things to break loose Stefnir steps towards the hole waiting for the others to react.
Swim: (just one?)

Helga takes up position aiming down the cave system with her bow.
Helga
Saorise helps to strengthen the ice around Stefnir and Ragnar. Ragnar flicks the end of the rope but it hits the curve of ice and coils and spools into a heap again.
Then the pair of clouds move closer and again small charges of energy come out, one at Helga and one at Saorise.
Helga is touched by the stormbolt and lights up briefly as the pain grips her body, wracking her in never-before-felt pain.
Hurling his javelin into the midst of one of the clouds Jorgen focuses feeling the Divine power fill him, readying him for battle.
"Fall back, better we face these things in the open."
Helga screams in pain and slumps over, incapacitated.
"Something ... down there!" she gasps.
Ragnar lets out another garbled litany of curses in Krieg and Dverge, pulling out the rope completely and tying it around Stefnir to send him down. Once he sees the powerful Ari, he motions the half-elf over.
"Well hold on tight" Stefnir says and steps into the hole, bracing himself as well as he can.

Acrobatics:
Still not aware of any rescue attempts, the determined barbarian tries once again to climb the slippery frigid walls.
"Anya". "do not worry". "I am coming, and bringing a rope, so you can climb out of here" Stefnir says, as he begins his descent.
"About bloody time! the less than pleased barbarian angrily shouts up in reply "If I'd had the pebbles you so-called men have between your legs they'd have frozen off by now!"

Ragnar holds the rope and Stefnir slithers and slides down the hole until his feet dangle above Anya. She tries to climb the side of the icepit but cannot get a decent hold, especially with such wet hands.
Saorise takes a step back from the shocking dark cloud and pulls out her weapon to defend herself, trying to dodge the blasts as they come for her.
Helga drops like a stone onto the ground. The cloud hangs over her.
One of the clouds fires its lightning straight at Saorise just as she ducks. .
The other floats up and over Helga until it is above Ragnar, then it shoots out another charge at the man holding the rope.
Unfortunately both adventurers light up like candles as the energy crackles about their bodies.
Ari removes the small round wooden shield, from where it is strapped on his back and pulls his mace from the loop on his belt. He dosen't know what awaits him inside, but his shield and mace will give him some protection.
"Stay close brother" says Kurn to Ari. Kurn moves until he can see the dark cloud, raises his Holy Symbol of Krakis and shouts "Stop in the name of Krakis!"
Rushing forward Jorgen grab Saorise, a spell being rattled off quickly as his hands touch her. An opalescent glow encases the sorceress Shielding her wounded form.
Those capable of noticing see the wounds on Jorgen closing them selves as the man acts.
"Urrrgh," Helga struggles to move, but can barely do so from the combination of shock and cold. "There's something ... behind the mast ..."
At a word from Stefnir and Anya, Ragnar starts to haul the druid and berserker from the hole.
