"Alright, I'm guessing the water right below us has a strong current, but it's not very deep...you still want to go down there?"

Karia raised an eyebrow.

"From the way you lurched, even I could tell there was a current."

"Anyway, if you want to go down, I won't stop you. Though if I hear screams I won't be following either."

"Remember the bucket? Me and Essel were nearly dragged to our feet when we drew the water. There could be a giant whirlpool that will suck you into the underworld a hundred feet down stream. Or, it's fed by a nearby underground waterfall.

So, just choose already-are you doing it or not? We're wasting time while you dither."

((Oh. I missed that part.))

If you really think it's that dangerous, perhaps we should move on. I don't see how else that creature could've come to be in here though, if there isn't a path somewhere inside that well. There's only one corpse in here; it needs to feed somehow.

Essel makes a face when she raises her voice. Essel puts down his pick and takes off his leather armor and helmet. Slope gets my stuff if I'm right and I get eaten by monsters. He unties the bucket and instead fashions a loop for his foot. As he descends, he has his other arm wrapped around the rope and keeps his hand outstretched against the wall of the well to give him stability. In his other hand he clutches his sunmote so he can see clearly. He examines the walls around him until he reaches the water below. He makes sure to signal those above to stop if he sees something unusual or before he touches the water.

"Well, good luck...tug three times on the rope, if need us to pull you back up.

If you're in the belly of a horrible creature, or something, tug five times, and we'll know to let you go. Wouldn't want to upset the monsters digestion..." She chides.

Action: Hold the rope and prepare to pull Essel up, or at least a leg or something.

"A monster might kill you so quickly you don't even have time to scream." Sucana offers helpfully.

And I'd have time to tug a rope...? If you're trying to make a point, milady, you're failing in spectacular fashion. Essel wasn't the type to allow himself to be wound up, but he found this woman insufferable.

"I'm just being helpful." Sucana replies mildly. "And remember, tug five times if you don't wish us to even try and recover your body, like if you've been swallowed whole."

Deadpan.

Karia had to resist the urge to push the 'Queen' down before Essel got the chance.

"I'm sure screaming should work."

She smiled sweetly, and blatantly insincerely.

"Now, can we get a move on?"
