A Candlekeep Mystery (IC)

[FitzTheRuke]

Not sure if I understood what is happening; please redeploy rolls as needed...

OOC: Not knowing what's happening is probably about right! (It's just that Crock Jon has been damaged by two meenlocks, who have a paralytic.) I haven't dropped out of rounds yet, though. Just waiting on Argenti to roll round... uh, whatever # we're on. I'll use your rolls at the top of next round, though.

OOC: NP: you had said that these might not be synchronous, and I thought you were getting us all together, chronologically.

OOC: Ah yes, I see what you mean.

 

[Leatherhead]

Argenti was in a panic, everyone, even the enemy, had suddenly stopped moving, and there were too many voices to keep track of.
"I have to trust I heard you right, Carin." The genasi says as she drags Ethan's stiff body along the rope.

OOC: Sorry for keeping you waiting! Dragging Ethan to square AN 10.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Argenti pulled Ethian away from the suddenly slothful meenlock, who released him and stood twitching its antennae as Cairn shambled past it. She shook the elf, who stood in a stupor, a twisted expression of fear and confusion on his normally calm face.

[DEFCON 1]

The waist-high moss would be difficult to push through, but Hawthorne's intention was always to try and circle around, rather than go deeper into the tunnels. He takes a deep breath, looks down at Kaliban, and says something as humorously as possible so as to try and not offend his much shorter ally. "We need that path on the far side. You okay with standing on my shoulders with weapon drawn as I try and push us through this green sludge?"

OOC: If Kaliban agrees to it, Hawthorne will reach down and lift the snirfneblin up and place him feet-first upon his shoulders, holding him in place with his hands. He will then try and cross the chamber, getting over to the passage at AJ20/21. If the opening is higher on the wall, he'll help Kaliban hoist himself up into the tunnel, then try and climb up himself (although I doubt I'll have enough movement available to do it this round.)

OOC: Sounds good. Gimme an Athletics check and @VLAD the Destroyer Kaliban gimme an Acrobatics. DCs aren't terribly high, it'll mostly inform my description.

 

[DEFCON 1]

The deep moss proves very difficult for Hawthorne to move through, and he curses silently to himself that he spent so much of his childhood indoors and not working on any of his physicality.

OOC: STR (Athletics) check: (9)-1=8

 

[VLAD the Destroyer]

Kaliban follows along with Hawthorne knowing if he cuts himself loose he would get completely lost.

OOC: Acrobatics check: 1d20+5 22
