Dark link paused, staring up a very thick rope. "Found it."
It was a giant bronze bell, supported by thick iron bars.

Selena's hands moved up the rough cording of the rope, before nodding to him. It would take both of them to pull it. While she didn't weigh much, it might be enough to work.

Dark Link grabbed above her and they pulled.
The loud bong was painful underneath, but it seemed to be working when a swarm of Keese flew right out of the mines.

The sharp bong caused their heads to ring in echoes, but with one more yank the sound of footfall somehow reached their half-deafened ears. Selena gratefully let go of the rope, one hand rubbing the side of her head, before motioning to him. Something told her it would be best for them not to be seen.

Dark Link pulled once more as troops rushed past, the clang of tools and weapons barely heard over the giant bell.
Dark Link staggered a bit when he let go, only after the last troop had run past.

Selena's hands were now held over her still sensitive ears to protect them, though she waited a moment for the bell to stop swaying before lowering her arms. The noise of the troops below them was still deafening, but not near the caliber it was.

Dark link shook his head. "Grab a weapon you can use, it's going to be a hard battle."

"All right," she murmured, shaking her still ringing head as she waded through the sea of dropped weapons. A gleaming dagger and scabbard caught her eye, but the cut leather binding showed it was not voluntarily dropped. The entire weapon was ornamented in gold and silver on the outside, but a solid tap on the wall with it made it clear it was not soft metal. Usable.

Dark Link motioned for her to follow.
They was a semi large crowd outside of mostly unarmed Stalfos and a few Keese and a rat.

The mage tied the cut strap around her belt after a moment, before moving to follow the elder Shade. Dark gaze trailing along the shrouded corridors, carefully picking their footing through the sea of weaponry. A bloodstained hand brushing her long electrum tresses out of her face as they halted, seeing the remaining group. Hylian or Shade warriors, rather than beasts. They had yet to retreat, it seemed. But she recognized none of the faces among them, all of which were examining something they'd dug up. Something important, perhaps.
