I went back through the corridors, with Araches at my heel. I climbed the rock staircase I had made quite a while ago (in my own personal chronology, anyway) back to the rope, which I used to exit. I was rather glad, with Araches climbing under me, that I was wearing pants and not a dress.

Alright, that's pretty much the limits of my DMship, except for a few more things that you haven't tried but don't really matter.
