Missing Caravan

[GM Marvel]

[OoC just to clarify  the rope runs in BOTH? directions, through the closed portcullis as well as above the  ore-cart tracks?]

Yes.

At the moment, unless Mardak moves his torch light, Betimi and Jonath can't hide in shadows.  If you have a special ability that I'm unaware of, please let me know.  

Everything inside the yellow circle is lit up by Mardak's torch.  Selina's light is blocked by the wall so it shouldn't be an issue.  So Mardak will have to move away a little bit to allow them to sneak.

[From the SRD: In an area of bright light, all characters can see clearly. A creature can’t hide in an area of bright light unless it is invisible or has cover.]



Grey= Jonath
Purple = Betimi
Black = Mardak
Orange = Tomeal
Light blue = Selina
Dark blue = Nacesh

Once Mardak changes position so his light doesn't flash down the hall way, both Jonath and Betimi, who is lagging behind him by about ten feet, sneak toward the Portcullis.  Once he's able to peer through the bars, Jonath can see a 20'x15' room with around a 5' wide opening in the southern wall with what appears to be a body beside it and another 5' opening in the east wall of the south east corner of the room.  As suspected, the heavy bars are a portcullis but Jonath can see a pulley system to open it located some 5' to the west on the other side.  [You can kind of see it on the map at the very bottom to the left of the bars.]
