Schmidt is able to secure the rope and with all of you helping, is able to topple the altar [d6=1], which cracks in half as it slams to the floor. Schmidt and Berthold feel a sense of relief - the unease is gone.

Does the altar still make us uneasy?

Yes.

Here is the post that describes the room:

[Round #8 initiative 2d12=1,12 PCs have it.] It's probably important who goes first between Salty, Berthold and Schmidt, given Salty's action.
