At the same time, he, and the rest of you hear a faint whisper -- "Help me.." -- that rises from the dark depths of the canyon below you.
Shanaseriel peers down into the crevasse, her elven eyes luminous in the flicking torchlight as she strains to see the source of the plea.

The crevasse is very dark, but she sees something lying at the bottom about 30' down that she believes could be a person's prone body.

The whispered plea-- "Help me..." -- continues.

Does the voice sound male or female? Percival will move up next to Shanaseriel and whisper, "Can you tell if it's Halfling size, or bigger?"

Thinking ahead (says Aloysius), we should lower someone light at the end of a rope to investigate. Jim and I can hold the rope.

Hard to say with whispers, but if you had to guess you'd say male.

On the size, again not clear. The body, if that's what it is, is wearing loose robes that hide its size at this distance and lighting.

The moments tick away as the party stands in quiet indecision.

Surprising herself, the lightweight Shanaseriel volunteers, and she is roped up and gingerly abseils down towards the ledge.

d20 agility check: 2

Doh, Shanaseriel loses her footing and lets go a shriek as she lurches downwards until the slack in the rope runs out.

Aloysius and Jim brace for the jerk:

Jim: 13.
Aloysius: 11 + 1?

They are able to arrest her fall, and with the exception of some rope burn she's lowered safely to the bottom.

The chasm is dark, but she is able to see the body... examining it she sees that it is a broken form of a long dead man in wizardly robes. He is still wearing a small leather carrying bag.

As for the mystery of how this desiccated body could have been calling out... a moment later, the whisper "Help me" emanates-not from the body-but from a small branch lying a few yards away from the body!

She quickly takes the small leather bag, and, bow in hand moves gingerly towards the small branch, examining the area closely.

Percival stands quietly, keeping watch ahead and behind.

Thanks. I thought you also took over Kleaver and Grismelda?
