Shara walks toward the group and the fallen hag, becoming a bit worried as Lucious looks over the eye. Anything that vile creature had used against them might be evil in its own right.
"Please be careful, Lucious," she says to the friendly warlock as she reaches him. "If you'd like to understand this...thing, we can take a rest so you can look it over carefully. Not that you might do anything rash," she adds, one corner of her mouth twitching up in a small smile.
OOC:
Short rest to identify or throw it in a sack and move on? Time is valuable here since we need to get back to the retainers/carts by sundown, but I'm cool either way.
Its just past noon. Note also that the "pit" still has the illusion over it, it is just that Corwin and Hunter saw through it and what to look for so that the rest of you could also see through it as it were. Its still there just not as solid as it was.
While the illusion is somewhat transparent it still somewhat hard for Shara to peer through it to see what is below. As best as she can tell the pit is around twenty feet deep with hard stone or brick bottom. She can just make out what she thinks is a tunnel or two in the sidewall of the pit.
Magen listened to the conversation between Lucious and Shara. "I think we should try and make more use of the daylight we have today, maybe check into these tunnels?"
OOC:
@Greenkarl, the commander's strike attack goes on Magen's turn so Corwin is free to use sneak attack again on his own - or at least that's how I read it. Similar to a wizard casting shield on someone else's turn and still casting a 1+ spell in his own turn.
Am I correct in thinking that we've got a bit of time here before we have to head back to get to the camp before dark?
Its an Strength (Athletics) check DC 15 to climb down the walls safely. You could chop down a nearby tree though and use that as a make shift ladder. It will probably take an hour or so to cut one down and strip most of the branches except a few to aid in your climb down
Hunter takes the rope of the side of his pack and ties it around a nearby tree, “I spent too much time in the library and in the bar, never quite built up my upper body strength.”
Chuckling at his own expense Hunter begins to repel down the side of the pit.
OOC:
Don’t know how much the rope helps but I will take some guidance
