Message: <blockquote data-quote="JimAde" data-source="post: 2667824" data-attributes="member: 16739">Ery moves out of the chamber you all currently occupy, through a short tunnel and into the next chamber.  The others follow at a discreet distance (I assume).  As she enters the next chamber, the ever-present faint reek of corruption in the cave shoots to an almost intolerable stench.  She sees the sinkhole that Lucas described, and knows enough to skirt it, since it's been used for who knows how long as a garbage pit/toilet by the cave's residents.  Restraining her gag reflex, she moves past the hole and through yet another short tunnel. This one ends in a fairly steep and slippery-looking downslope.  At the bottom of that slope is the 100 foot shaft Lucas described.  On the far side of the shaft, at the same level as the bottom of the slope and near the edge of her vision, she sees the wooden plaftorm.  A ladder leads up from this platform to another platform about 15 feet above, near Ery's current level.  The upper platform is surounded by a short palisade-style wall made of wooden stakes.Another ladder descends from the lower platform into the darkness below.Just as she finishes her observation and is preparing to return to her friends, Ery senses something amiss.  She leaps to the side just as she sees two forms rise up from behind the palisade on the upper platform.  Each looks to be about her size but seems to have more than the traditional number of limbs.  One intones arcane words and two blazing green bolts shoot form its eyes, slamming into her painfully.  The other extends its "hands" toward her and she sees the now-familiar sight of webbing shooting from it.  The webs drop to the ground in the spot she had just occupied, missing her cleanly.Damage from Magic Missiles: 7 HP, Webs missed due to Ery's Uncanny Dodge ability.  Grr... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Everyone hears the spell go off, so:InitiativesLucas 14 + 6 = 20Ery 12 + 4 = 16Sirius 11 + 1 = 12, modified to 13 to break the tieEnemies 12Girble 5 + 5 = 10Donnybrook 3 + 4 = 7The rest of the party is about 30 ft. back from Ery.</blockquote>
