D&D 5E (IC) Vault of the Dracolich (River Gang)

[FitzTheRuke]

The River Gang returns to the Lower Lake from the Pit of Teeth after bidding farewell to Guldred and his few remaining Lizardfolk (now very much falling in step.) Sure enough, Dunmire's lantern reveals the stirge-nest, which was damaged by the short earthquake from earlier. The horrible bat-things work busily at the ceiling of the cavern, sticking chunks of rock and a paraffin-like substance together to form the nest. The gooey wax must have a high concentration of coagulated blood, by the colour and the smell - some broken pieces fall as they work and float down the surface of the lake toward the far end (revealing the current). The water of the lake disappears around a corner in an echoing roar.

OOC: I assume the kayaks will remain left in the upper lake. By shore it will take an athletics or acrobatics check to climb around the worst parts without falling in (dc12 each character) and a group stealth check will work to not dusturb the stirges. (dc11 everyone rolls but only half the group needs to make it to succeed.) Feel free to narate if you fall in. Leave the stirges to me. Falling in won't disturb the stirges if you don't yell for help.

Ooc: can we rope each other together for added safety? With 6 people rolling it's almost certain that someone will have a bad roll..

OOC: I guess. Being roped together has it's own drawbacks... (Also there are seven of you, including Dunmire.) Speaking of which: Dunmire's rolls: [roll0] and [roll1]

Ooc: it could grant a group check on acrobatics? I will post later, on the road at the moment

OOC: Sure, okay. But if 4 out of 7 fail, then you're all going in! So far we have 3 successes for travel, and 3 failures for stealth, so it's still up in the air as to what will happen, but it looks like you might get the attention of the stirges. Let's see what happens...

acrobatics near stirge nest : 1D20+6 = [18]+6 = 24


Stealth check near the stirge nest: 1D20+9 = [6]+9 = 15


Stealth near the water? Udit was in his element, he had good boots!. He walked back and forth along the line, making sure that everyone kept a steady footing and doing his best to reduce the noise. Things were not as quiet as he liked, and he hoped that it would be enough...

 

[Prickly Pear]

The banks of the water was slippery but SnorLoska walked with ease and didn't slip up. Careful with each step, he made little noise as he walked under the stirge's nest. No problem! What could go wrong?

Athletics check: 1D20+7 = [13]+7 = 20
Stealth check: 1D20+5 = [14]+5 = 19

OOC: Just [MENTION=6805410]Fradak[/MENTION] and [MENTION=6805147]River Song[/MENTION] to go. I don't know if either of them stop by on weekends, but if they do, I'd be happy to find out if they make it so I can send Stirges down or move along! We're safe from falling in (assuming everyone went with Udit's idea of roping everyone together) but are in grave danger of attracting unwanted bloodsucker attention. (If either of you fail, they're coming down!)
