The kobold sprouts another disturbing grin. "There is danger through the door and down the shaft. We are good at what we do."
((OOC: There have been three routes discussed. Through the door which is closed (normal-sized door), down the shaft the wheel operates, and through a tunnel in the walls that only Shiny, with his small size, would be able to fit through (the tunnel has so far not been discovered).))
Again, it takes a considerable amount of effort to get the wheel turning. The platform lowers slowly, inch by inch, until it is absorbed by the darkness. Kurt spins the wheel for a few long minutes. The party gives each other worried looks; this pit is deep. Finally, after about seven minutes of turning, an echoing *ka-chunk* is heard from the bottom of the shaft. Kurt rests his arms on the wheel, which won't budge any further.
