Alrighty, I posted under the assumption that the pit was carved out of rock. I remember in earlier posts when Kwell and Azhar were kept captive there that they were surrounded by stone. If this is the case, the people down there should have something to cling to. Once all of them are at the wall, the danger will quickly become the water rising and filling the entire pit up to the ceiling.
We need help, that means.
