"If we are to do this, I merely ask one of the more combat formidable of the group guard the rear as it seems we are a mixture of warriors and non combatants such as myself."

Telma's gaze moved between the Goron and the 'Hylian' knight after the caned man's suggestion. The role would fall to one of those two, but who could trust the Gerudo to guard their backs after her outburst?

"You might need to curl up, but you should be able to squeeze through." Telma assured the Goron. "I don't think the rope will support your weight, but the fall should be no problem for a Goron."

Everyone seemed eager to begin the task at hand. The lack of questions concerned Telma, but there was no time to change plans. It was now or never. The Queen chose these champions, so there must be a good reason. Nodding to the group, Telma reached into a cabinet and removed a coiled rope and ushered the group out into the rain. "Let get star-"

"A Zora." Telma corrected the child in a hushed tone. It was clear the bar owner was taken aback, but her concern was focused on the freshly cleared well. It was clear someone or someones had slipped by without Telma's notice. And how did this lone Zora woman manage to slip in through the front? "Hello, friend." She answered back as she removed the worry from her face and secured the rope. "I'm sorry, but you missed the introductions. Will you be joining everyone down the well?"

"It's ready." Telma said after testing her knot. "I'll be on lookout up here. We're counting on you all."

As the swordsman knelt beside the guard he could hear the dying man's strained breathing and feel the cold of his hand and something made of paper. "Not the Hidden Village." He managed to spit out before falling silent for a moment. "The guards...compromised. Warn Impa." After the last words, the guard fell silent again. The Drifter could feel the stranger's grip lessen, until he was holding a corpse's hand and a crumbled piece of paper.

Looking at the paper, the Drifter could tell it was a map of the secret passage ways. Some of the dead guard's blood obscured the paper, but the wax symbol of the royal family pressed in the upper left corner was untarnished.
