[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9271082, member: 20459"] [I]Once again, it is Toriq's quick thinking that moves the group along. After silently getting Nemo's attention and nodding her head toward the window, she immediately sheaths her sword and gestures to the older goblin - Snickcha, was it? - to elicit her help in reattaching her shield to her pack. Happily, the halfling's hard-earned instincts are sound, and he moves swiftly toward the small window, waving his hands for the others to follow. The light may be dim in the small room with only the outside light to illuminate it, but like lemmings at a cliff, the movement of one of them sparks the movement of all, and very quickly the newly freed folk are crowded around Nemo and the window. He quietly opens the window and - gesturing at himself - indicates that he will lead, followed by Jendi, then the others - the halfling holds up a single finger, then brings that hand back and pushes it forward again - are to follow one by one. Trusting that they understand his instructions, he also points at everyone, then two fingers at his own eyes, then a final finger pointed at himself: <watch what I do>. He sends a few prayers to Sehanine, the Raven Queen, and whoever else will listen that they understand [B]these[/B] instructions as well before exiting through the window. In an almost orderly fashion, everyone scrambles through the windows, trying to watch and follow what Nemo is doing. But he is much smaller than several of them, and a couple almost fall, caught by Nemo or - surprisingly - Jendi and Mylistra. This pair seems to have learned much over the last few adventures in how to climb and work as a team. As the warlock gently helps Nemo's goblin friend - whose lost fingers are no help in climbing, he looks up to make sure Riqqi has been able to escape as well. He is happy to see that she has. She is, in fact, carefully climbing in tandem with Snichka, the two of them carefully leading Cassia down the brick wall, finding handholds and footholds and never letting go of the elderly woman. The tiny goblin is much stronger than she looks, Jendi thinks to himself, and the two of them are able to help her down without too many stumbles.[/I] [HR][/HR] * The entire group makes a Group Primary Skill Athletics check vs. the Easy DC to climb down the wall. The freed prisoners are being treated as Level 2 without adjustments and will make a single roll, given the wide range of physical abilities they display: [LIST] [*]Freed prisoners: r4+1=5 vs. 10 Easy DC. Fail. [*]Jendi: r17+0=17. Success. [*]Mylistra: r14+0=14. Success. [*]Nemo: r3+8=11. Success. [*]Toriq: r10+9=19. (Auto)success. [/LIST] 4 out of 5 Successes = 1 Success in Skill Challenge. [/QUOTE]
