Well, rope is plot device. It makes group go together towards the hole or passage or whatever and also determine which order everyone is from the party druid :P.<br/><br/>Just hope it does not doom all of us or something when we all are connected by rope but that's why usual climber's rope is made so it<em>can</em>be cut loose if needed. Anycase once she's bit deeper she shifts to humanoid form and uses the flashy stone from her staff bring light. Bit Gandalf moment in there. I just pray this is not mines of Moria.
