As Alaedra begins to slide down, there is a loud clanging sound and the hatch begins to dent and buckle. Luckily, before the next blow hits, she is already sliding down far below, having descended by at least one floor. It take a few more hits, each one echoing loudly through the tunnel, before it finally tears open, falling after the drow and bouncing noisily off the walls.<br/><br/>Fortunately, she pulls herself close just in time, and the door misses her, continuing on.<br/><br/>When she finally reaches the bottom of the pipe, Alaedra finds herself within a furnace - not lit, and apparently unused for quite some time. Still, the floor is covered in several inches of soft ash, other than the hatch that was sent down after her. There is a door to the furnace, and one that seems to be unlocked.<br/><br/>So far, though her hands are sweaty and pink from sliding along the metal, Alaedra is more or less fine, having not yet been successfully attacked.
