As if to agree with Meris' assertion that they should be on the move, the castle rumbled around them, bits of ceiling plaster and some slightly confused rats falling into the room with them, skittering away like rats leaving a sinking...castle. As she opened the door, Meris and anyone peering out behind her could see that the hallway leading to the undercroft that would lead them up to the castle was missing parts of, well, floor, leaving gaps where the foundation had begun to break apart, bits of stone falling into the catacombs below. Whose idea it was to build a castle immediately above catacombs was anyone's guess, but it had been a ready source of capturable monsters and magical experiments before the fall of the Dark Lord. From where the party was standing, though, it was now just a long drop into a cave full of spikes.<br/><br/>They could see the door to the undercroft was hanging on its hinges, splintered by some force, but not into the room itself. Getting to it, though, would require getting across the pit in front of them.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">If anyone wants to make a heroic leap across the pit, that's a DC 12 athletics check. <br/><br/>Marching order is currently Iridis in back and Meris in front. <br/></div></div>
