He punted Murphy out of the circle, and then headed back for the captives, more so his gods didn't express disgust later about leaving them. Death might not care, but the other two would. And having irritated one goddess today, he was in no mood to add another to that list.<br/><br/>At Murphy's question, he brought out four silk ropes, handed two to Murphy, and began tying the other two together. Once the four ropes were tied together, he took them again, before using a charge of his boots to jump to the top. He tied both ropes to beams in the basement, and then dropped them before yelling down. "Murphy, you and the dragon tie the captives that can't climb to the end of the ropes, then Murphy starts climbing. Once he is up, he pulls the second rope up, and I will being do the same with the first while he climbs. The dragon can come up last in his human form, helping the captives get tied. Leave the rope tied to the beams, silk ropes aren't that hard to replace."<br/><br/>He pulled the first captive up, and then dropped the rope to get his second as Murphy began hauling his first up.
