In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 813):

Tommy struggles and starts to gag...

In reply to Tommy (msg # 814):

When he starts coughing, Brunhilda comes down quickly to drag him back upstairs...

"Stay back! I've got him!"

Seeing Tommy in distress, Grohm grabbed him by the scruff of the neck and passed him up to Brunhilda.

In reply to Grohm'Tahl (msg # 816):

it is not just that the air is rank; it is stale and does not contain something vital;
the air here is bad.

"Maybe the air here is low on the bit we breath," comments Bratu

"There are spells that would circulate good air into that space, or restore the life-giving quality to that air -- but I hadn't yet studied Air spells when I left the Academy.  D'ne, you have some air magic.  Can you Shape or Create Air?"

In reply to Virgilio Hohlfeld (msg # 819):

"Or make it fresh..." she says as Tommy begins to recover...

Dne slowly nods, his head heavy with avian wisdom.  "I can indeed.  Would you like me to create air, or purify it?  Your flimsiest wish is my most ardent command."

"Creating more only sends dead air somewhere else, right. Purifying it make the problem go away, for now. Do I understand correctly?"

There is a lot of space down there.   I don't know if magic will be enough to get us through.", Grohm said.

"Well, someone could hold their breath and look to see if there's an upward path somewhat nearby.  I'll volunteer, unless someone has some skill in holding their breath and might be able to hurry less.

"If I do go, I"ll need to make a brighter light, but I can cancel it as soon as I'm done."

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 821):

The slightly hard to see troll speaks up, drawing attention to her indistinct form.
"Grohm' Tal and we of the people might be able to last a little longer in that, but the bird-man has a chance to shine here!"

In reply to Ulo (msg # 825):

"Yes, he does. He can create as much air as he needs little bit at a time, I suspect."

"Indeed -- Creating Air within that mask, he might be able to explore for quite some time before needing to come back up.

"I can help, by Lending enough Energy that he's not fatigued when he starts."

Dne nods, and casts Purify Air.

"Do you need more energy, D'ne?  Or something brightly lit?"

In reply to Dne Utrotare (msg # 828):

The air quality immediately improves in the stairwell!

In reply to Narrator (msg # 830):

Actually, Tommy was using a normal candle. Would that have given warning of bad air? Would it now?

Grohm gave Dne a nod.  "Good job."

"Should we wait a bit?" Jendrich asks Dne. "Give you the time to recover, and see if the air spoils again?"

In reply to Tommy (msg # 831):

the normal candle would have just gone out halfway down the stairs.

In reply to Abomination (msg # 834):

Ok. So when the candle goes out, Tommy will be heading back, otherwise happy to scout ahead...

As Tommy descends, the candle flickers. The air below is quite heavy and in need of purification.

"Tommy, it looks like we need a group of three -- you with your candle and whatever else, D'ne to Purify the air as we go, and me to keep D'ne from tiring out.  I've got a light, and I can make it much brighter once we've gone down a bit.  Try to help me remember to cancel the bright one before we come back up, though.  I've also got my crossbow and staff, just in case."

In reply to Narrator (msg # 836):

"That sounds reasonable. Or else we all go together, in case we run into trouble."

OOC: And avoid splitting the party...
