    Fox moves slowly up to the next painting and looks for the wraith.

    The Ramrods

    As Fox looked the next painting he noticed it was not of a wraith, but instead a waterfall tumbling down into the underworld. There is a great sucking of air....

    The Ramrods blinked, and gone was the gallery. Instead, they stood in a cavern, a short walk lead to a dock with longboats and an urn filled with coins. A skeletal ferryman beckoned them towards the boats.

    Lig sees the ferrymen and thinks on the jovial Skeleton thief they encountered in the bar.
    Lig waves to test how friendly this skeleton man is.

    "Ho there, my skeleton friend!
    We seemed to have just arrived here.
    Where does this ferry lead? Any protocol for passing?

    I see coin in that urn. Is there a cost for the use of the boat?"

    Lig attempts to think on the meaning of the painting and how it might relate to their predicament.

    Something very grim.

    You see Squibble, Halwyr, and Selgith lying in boats further down the river. They’re about to go over the falls.

    The gold coins you notice bear your faces, as well as those of others still living.

    The ferryman’s jaw fell open with a clack! as it pointed to empty boats.

    "Friend, it seems your jaw fell out of socket. Allow me to help you with that."

    Lig moves close to the ferrymen, using their club, to lightly reposition the dropped jaw back into a natural position, with the intention of drawing attention away from the urn of coins.

    Vermillion's red eyes widen and he sighs heavily in delight. "Indeed, my minute maven, we should be off. Off and away... But tell me, prefer you an arcane flourishing to the north or the stuff of miracles west?"

    It did not matter. Producing a cloak of black velvet scattered with starry rhinestones, he throws it about his shoulders and ignores both doors for the spiraling stair into the mine.

    The bulky form of the paladin cocks his head, as if to imply puzzlement, at the newest member of the cadre as he moves toward the shaft.
    "Arcane power, you say? Perhaps we have caught the scent of the Ur-Mage himself, and thus will see his head on a pike shortly."

    The Argent Specter begins to regard the door to the north, inspecting it before he moves to open it.

    As he proceeded down, the Specter attempted to make more sense of the chamber. One of the clay golems tottered close and fell onto him, the hot clay collapsing and engulfing him.

    What precisely is hot clay entanglement? It looks like damage, in which case my armor, shield, and move should prevent it all. Unless there's extenuating circumstances, which I (the player) wouldn't be surprised by.

    The Specter is unperturbed by the hot clay, but it appears to have him stuck in place. Further action will be required to loose him from the muck.

    Stealing down the stair, through the initial tunnels, and to the very start of the treacherous ledges, the elf begins, "I've gone by so many names: Knave, Curr, Rapscalion, Yellow-Belly , but I've always preferred my given name. Call me..." He whips around in a flourish of the starry cape, simultaneously drawing his rapier, "Vermilion Catamount."

    It was then he realized no one had followed him down the hole. Looking around and likely bowing to whatever bat, spider, or passing golem there might be, he slips back the way he came only to find Argent Spector stuck in place.

    "Perfect!" Vermilion proceeds to repeat his introduction to the immobile knight.

    The bulky knight draws his sword, and begins to hack away chunks of the clay to free himself. Even still, he finds himself roughly fixed.

    "An impressive list of eponyms, Master Elf. Are your skills in survival just as robust? I could use your assistance in freeing myself from this congealed abomination."

    Durgon takes the coins from Fox, looking at them carefully. “These hae our faces on them.” He says aloud. The dwarf looks between the coins and the boats. “The ferryman. Boats. Coins.” He pauses for a moment while he thinks. “There be a custom for some clans where they believe you place coins on the dead to pay the ferryman. This might be that. I think we hae to get in the boats with the coins.”

    The dwarf’s face scrunches up.”I canne remember if the coins go over your eyes or in your mouth though.”

    The boats were long enough for a person to lie down in them, much less sit or crouch. As Krolax stepped into his, the boat wavered slightly. The ferryman reached out to steady, jaw snapping shut. It then started to cast Krolax off.

    Lig follows suit of Krolax, laying down, cautious of grabby spirits, and lays the two coins of his face on his eyes.

    Lig shouts!

    "Aye, it's ridiculous!
    But the Ferryman seemed to be good sort!
    Didn't seem to mind my chicanery, you know"

    a pause occurs after this.

    After Krolax and Lig lay down, the Ferryman shoved them off into the river. The pair were carried along by the current.

    Krolax heard the moaning and wailing of the dispossessed, the boat shuddering and rocking. Lig saw colors flash behind his eyes and felt his craft lurch in the current.

    Those still ashore could see the boats approaching the fall...

    Fox plucked a rib from the Ferryman’s chest. It didn’t seem to notice or care, dutifully casting him off into the river of souls.

    Krolax could hear the waterfall now, a roaring the seeming to bleed into the wailing. Lig could feel part of his boat slplinter not too far behind.
