     Sure enough to answer his thoughts he saw so far two members of his team with him in the hole. Malkai and Kalista had fallen with him. He felt a little guilty for it. He might have caused the cave in or it was caused all on its own. Malkai was recovering much better then Kalista, one of their female companions. She was worse for wear it would seem. He approached her after her call for help. Her, like Malkai had the luck of having a pile of bones breaking her fall. Not that it helped any in her case. She looked a lot more frail then when they first meet. He raised a brow at her and shook his head to clear any ill thoughts. [color=0072bc]"Kalista right? Here let me help you up."[/color] He said as he reached for arms to see if he could get her out of the pile of bones. [color=0072bc]"Can you stand on your own?
"[/color] He asked. He was not too sure of her condition and was afraid he might have to carry her. Which would in turn slow him down. He would have to carry his shield along his arm and let her ride on his back if it comes to that. She seemed light enough. Most certainly not as heavy looking as Elle or even Vivian. 

  Luckily for them Kalista was just a magic user. She could very well cast from the safety of his back with that book. Apparently there was a difference between Sorcerers and Wizards. Vivian was a sorceress and did not require a tomb to cast her spells, her arcane magic was in her blood from the start and she could cast solely on memory. Wizards like Kalista here though... they required such objects. He was just glad he stick'd to the sword for these very reasons. It was much simpler to cut down your foes then to read words in order to cast a thunderbolt.

        It would look from their current situation and her understanding that the pit consumed half their group in one go. Was this just a trap of the temple or was it more natural then she thought. Cave ins happen all the time in ancient places like this and with the weight of sand and those above.... no telling when a collapse might happen. She looked to Elle who was asking for those who where still here. [color=92278f]"I am still here but I think we are down two warriors...."[/color] She most certainly spotted Malkai and Alex taking a tumble down into the abyss but it happened so fast that she did even spot the rest including Kalista. For now there was only one option... to take the long way down. No way was she taking the easy route. They could just make things worse. She looked to the main entrance and sighed. Her scorpion ally will be useless here..... the halls and chambers will likely be too small to fit a creature of his size. Hopefully she would not have to rely on such a brute creature to survive. Hopefully Cat was not swallowed by the hole and was here with her. Elle was here though for certain so perhaps she would have to stay by her. Not too close though... that swing can hurt those in its path if not careful. 
[color=92278f]"From here on out we are in hostile territory. It's no mystery that the Gnolls and my kin have awakened the temples immortal guardians. So we have the undead to take care of as well."[/color] She had spells against the undead... she could even turn them against each other if needed. She looked to Elle's hammer. [color=92278f]"Is that blessed in anyway?..."[/color]
