Back down
Making arrangements to meet at Rikers Cave and handing over all non-essential equipment, Amathaon, Arek, Yew, Luthien, Ronalt, Sven, and Wonnilon descended back into the temple.
Moving with as much stealth as possible, the first level was traversed quite quickly and the stairs down to the second level reached in just a few minutes.
OOC: Marching order please.
Also, please put an asterix next to any item on your character sheet you've passed over to the group going directly to the cave - remember, the lighter you make your load now, the more treasure you can bring back up with you.
Once I know what you've taken back down, I'll sort out what you can bring back up and take care of all the nasty maths/encumbrance, prioritising the most valuable or useful items.
