If the bard uses lev, you can get your group up to the exit of Kaesora, then
work your way down.
My first trip into the dungeon was nasty. An enchanter friend went down the
drop in the middle and got slaughtered by at least 5 spiders. I decided to
help with CR, and thought I could lev down, any maybe avoid the spiders. I
was wrong :(
So a rogue came to help with CR. We decided to lev him, and then after the
pulse, he'd go hide/sneak, and I'd turn off song, so he could float down.
That didn't work either.
Now we've got 1 level 40, and 2 level 45 corpses that seem irretreivable.
We were all afraid to jump down the pit again, and we realized that with
levitate, I could get us up to the exit ramp, and then we worked our way
down (with a bigger, higher level group). If it weren't for guild help, I'm
convinced my corpse would still be there, rotting away today.
