So what you are telling me is that I took off my armor for nothing? Now that's just great. Oloven mutters under his breath and kicks a pebble, which lights up and drops down the hole. Does that help any?

The Black Pit
The lit up pebble hits he darkness and vanishes, the power of the darkness spell is greater than that of the light cantrip on the pebble.
A few moments later the light pebble breaks the darkness on the other side and Zeevan is nearly hit with it as it plunges through the air past him.

"Well, seems like time to jump into the abyss," Rikkan says, jumping over the edge. "I'll let you know what I find on the bottom." As he slowly floats into the darkness his voice can be heard adding, "... if there is a bottom, that is,"

Rikkan, leaving Scales behind, leaps into the pit!
He hits the darkness and vanishes.

After a while wait, Rikkan pierces the black shroud flying up and out of the pit, he swoops over the edge and lands among the company. He looks thoughtful, like he has much to report.

Je appears visibly relieved at the rat-man's return.
The long silence seemed to bode ill. Is Zeevan alright?

"Zeevan is fine," Rikkan reports, "There's darkness and silence between us, but its not harmful. Then there's another room. And everything in it falls slowly. Alas, that includes the statue we pushed down the hole. It seems poised, ready to start the attack again as soon as someone sets foot. Zeevan thought that if we could get someone at the end of the rope who could attack if from afar, that would let us defeat the statue without danger. Can anyone do that ... while keeping hold of a rope, of course?"

Fletcher holds out the harness, "This harness will allow ones hands to be free. I could then use my bow for a ranged attack."
Number Two: "You are number six."
Number Six: "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
Number Two: "Muh ha ha ha ha!"

Oloven begins putting his armor back on, while the group cones up with a way to attack the statue. "If I cant see it, I wont be able to hit it. And it looks like my light spell wont work down there. I am afraid I am the worse one to pick for that task."
