The Sunless Citadel [IC1]
- Thread starter perrinmiller
- Start date
From his perch on the rope, Eivan looks down over his shoulder into the darkness below the legde. "This ravine looks deep," he muses. "I wonder why someone decided to build a citadel at the bottom - it's not exactly a defensive location. Maybe the land sunk afterward, somehow?"
At this point, Eivan hears a few impatient yells from above, and realizes that he has stopped climbing. "Sorry!" he says, distractedly, and quickly slides down the rest of the rope to reach the ledge.
[sblock=ooc]Here's another climb check, if necessary.
1d20-1=0
Uh... that was bad.[/sblock]

Brunhilde throws her hands up in exasperation as Krindorf nips past her and starts down the rope. 'Wrinkly old giant's toes!' she huffs, and stands tapping her foot impatiently as she watches the top of the dwarf's head recede below her.
'Are you all right down there?' she shouts to Gregor and Eivan. Hearing no sounds of combat or anything else untoward, she grabs the rope, swings herself over the edge and starts to shin down it.
[sblock=OOC]Can I keep the roll from above?

As Eivan reaches the sandy ledge he hears scurrying noises. Out of the dimness and rubble he is surprised by three enormous looking rats, bigger and more vicious looking than most dogs. They have coarse, spiky fur, malevolent eyes, and long, naked tails. They close in around Eivan ready to attack.
Gregor and Krindorf each are a Standard Action away from reaching their locations on the Map. Brunhilde is a Full Round Action to get to either B-5, C-5, or D-5. But that will require those squares to be empty first. Eivan cannot climb back up the rope with Gregor in the way, and will provoke AoO if he tries. Also I don't think anyone was able to climb with weapons in hand either.

Eivan stumbles backwards as the enormous rats approach, stopping before the edge of the cliff. He pauses for a moment, but as Gregor and Krindorf arrive on to the legde beside him, he gains his composure, quickly darts between two of the rats, and draws his quarterstaff.

Five foot step to D4

The sudden shout of surprise draws Brunhilde's attention, and as she looks below her she sees Eivan nimbly dodging between a couple of dark shapes that are closing in on him and Gregor - she is unable to get a proper look as the rope is still swinging due to both her and Krindorf being on it.
The dwarf drops to the ledge, which allows Brunhilde to see the huge rats which are menacing her companions. She quickly starts to shin down the rope, then waiting for just the right moment as the rope swings over the ledge, she lets go and with a shriek of 'YAAAAHHHOOOOOO!' she throws herself off and lands where Eivan had been standing with an 'ooof''. Then, with an acrobatic flip, she rolls backwards, does a brief handstand, and is facing the beasts ready for action!
[sblock]If I need another Climb check
1d20+8=28
And a Jump check to get down the last bit
1d20+8=25
So that's 2 move actions to get down, and I'll use a Free Action to go into a Whirling Frenzy which puts Brunhilde's AC up to 21

As everyone joins Eivan on the ledge and draws weapons, only Gregor is able to draw some attention away from the gnome.
The first dire rat forgets about the tasty morsel that plopped down first and tries to bite the tall man. It misses Gregor as he moves his ankle out of the way of the gnashing teeth.
The other two dire rats stick with their delivered dinner and try to take sizable bites as the gnome slides past. Rat #2 succeeds, sinking his teeth into the gnome's leg inflicting a nasty and potentially putrid wound. As Eivan frees himself from the jaws by twisting out of the way, he inadvertently evades the third rat's bite.
<<OOC: Eivan: 3 damage, 3/6HP remaining>>
