"Looks like we're going to have to do it the hard way in any case." Lazerus takes another good look around, assessing the situation they're in.

One could tie the rope to the shards of twisted metal straying from the hole's borders, but there is always the risk that it won't hold - that the rope will slide down or tear. The fall may not be deadly, but sure as hell that it will result in broken bone.
The pipe below you is located roughly about ten meters from the hole. It is broad enough for one person to stand on it, but it is all covered in rust and looks not very reliable.

"Okay." - HexaDoken stands up, grabbing all his weaponry. - "We have wasted enough time discussing. Let's already do something. I suggest for one to get down there on the rope and scout a bit, while other three stay here and hold the rope. I am ready to be the scout, but if anyone else wants my role I'll gladly give it."

HexaDoken pauses, looking at his team. Most of his face is still hidden behind the scarf, so you can't really read any emotions. The tone of mercerenary's voice however clearly indicates that he is serious.

"This plan is open to revision. Bear in mind that I am pretty sick of it and I'm not going wait for long."

You think that it is surprisingly weird to see someone like him being serious.

"Now you're talking," MkLear laughs. "When you get down, give us a shout. We'll be right behind you."

"Hold on," MkLear objects. "Ignoring the fact that if we are to hold the rope here, someone will have to stay behind - and as dangerous as this climb seems, I'd rather not stay here for the rest of my life - why don't we simply use Xilla's grapnel?"

"...Grapnel? What grapne-" - HexaDoken throws a rather puzzled look at Xilla. - "Oh, that one. Umm... well shiznit. I'll stick with Lazerus, unless our dear friend happens to have a powered winch as well. Once I'm down there and it's safe, I think you can just stick the grapnel somewhere and get down on your own..."

"And yes, my friend, yes." - that is certainly adressed towards MkLear. - "I can always thrust on my friends, can I?" - says mercerenary in a rather sarcastic tone.

Red-haired man seems to return to his usual state of not really taking anything seriously, however.

"No need for a grapnel. Just tie up one of the ropes as best as we can. When you guys go down we'll hold it so it won't slip. When I go last, my weight won't be a problem." Xilla puts away her sword, takes one of the ropes and does a pretty solid job fastening it.  "Let's go" She  holds the rope as she gestures to MkLear to help her.

"Well it can still slip off or something accidently, but if you wish to do it that way then fine."

HexaDoken grabs the rope and throws one end of it down the hole.

"Well, ready, lads?" - he says readying himself to climb down.

Lazerus readies his autogun and kneels down beside the hole, choosing a position that has the best view of the pit's exit. He nods to HexaDoken, and stares into the pit along his gun barrel, focused.

"You'll be okay," says MkLear as he grabs the rope. "I'm sure whatever's down there will run away as soon as it sees you."

"Of course it will." - says HexaDoken, sarcastically again. He looks down the hole, hesitating for a second.

"Ashenzari!"

You have really no idea what have mercerenary just said. But he started climbing the hole down.

Xilla holds the rope, waiting for the weight to shift and tell her Hexadoken is on the ground. She's also waiting for the clicking noises to come back.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

For a moment, Xilla manages to hold the rope as Doken slides down with no effort at all. But right before he reaches the surface, the rope slides from MkLear's hands and the woman suddenly loses her balance, falling down, missing the prependicular pipe by narrow centimeters.
Luckily enough, the landing is soft because of dense webs, yet something cracks under the mercenary's solid boot...
"Something" appears to be a ribcage of the long-dead spelunker. His leather armor bears marks of a short combat - in the place where the stomach should be there's a huge, bloody hole. He died with an autogun in his hand.
The hall they find themselves in is large - forty meters long, twenty meters broad at least. On the other side there is a great breach in the steel wall, leading into some dark cave.
Also, the ceiling is invisible through the dense fog. The air smells with rot.

The rest remains inside the tube, waiting for a signal to come over, when suddenly Lazerus starts feeling a bit... nauseous. His chest is in slight pain and he feels like he'd vomit anytime. Unfortunately, MkLear gets the same feeling after a moment.
