Seeing the pit open beneath them, Ash flings out a hand, a stone platform extending from the edge of the pit around the same time the hard-light platform sprung into existence. Due to the similarly quick thinking of Ash and Wingate, the three women now found themselves on a platform of light with a platform of stone beneath it.

[color=ed1c24]"Lucille Barlow!"[/color] she snaps, [color=ed1c24]"That was [i]not[/i] a good idea. I did tell you to be careful before we came down here, and haphazardly activating all the magical items we come across is [i]not[/i] being careful."[/color] Ashley says with a huff. She takes a deep breath, glaring at Lucy, before continuing [color=ed1c24]"Please confer with Ms. Ipswitch and I before doing anything like that again."[/color]

Lucy looks a bit sheepish at the scolding. [color=6ecff6]"Right, sorry."[/color] She peers down into the pit over the side of the platforms she is now on. [color=6ecff6]"That explains that, then. I guess it hasta fill back up, judgin' from how we found the skeletons. And looks like that tunnel down there's our way forward. Can ya just lower us all down with the light disk, Winnie?"[/color]

Ash, seeing that the hard light structure was supporting them all fine, retracts the stone ledge back into the wall. She is, of course, ready to create any more platforms at a moment's notice.
