Bad News: You're 450 ft up a cliff practically perpendicular to the ground.Good News: You're tied to your fellow companions with a rope which in turn is tied to a ledge somewhere above you. Bad News: There are half a dozen carniverous mountain apes with climb skill out the rear approaching rather rapidly with this hungry look in their eyes. Good News: Being simple animals, they won't think to sever the rope (and anyway, you're good eatin' so they want you just where you are)Bad News: If you roll a 1 with that slashing weapon, they won't *need* to sever the rope. Good News: If you fall (when the apes hit you and you bomb your concentration check), the combined weight of your fellow companions will stop you from falling too far.Bad News: Unless you're the guy in plate, that is. Very Bad News: Also, because you're all suspended above (or below) each other, when you fall there is a good chance you'll fall right on the guy on top of you who has to make a check not to let go of the rope when this happens. Very, Very Bad News: Remember that rope? It isn't really designed to support all this swinging about, falling off and fighting with carniverous mountain apes. Consequently, it's starting to fray. You have maybe 6-7 rounds to get everyone up on the ledge before everybody takes a rather long fall, carniverous apes nonwithstanding. Yours,AltinP.S. How cool is this thread. Somebody buy Barsoomcore a drink. Failing that, go read his story hour (link in his sig.) -- it really rocks.</blockquote>
