(CSToA) Touch of the Abyss [IC]

Slisik arrives on the other side of the gap fairly safe. The cauldron tips another step and a small amount of the molten rock drips out of the mouth of the device and over the edge, missing the implanted spear by a few inches.
 


Tesla's telekinetic thrust damages one of the doors enough to be able to look inside, just slightly. You can make out Slisik standing on the opposite side of the pit in the corner of the room.
 

Slisik gets his bearings on the opposite side of the room, then is startled by the heavy blast from where he was just standing. He doesn't speak to his rescuers just yet, instead focusing on collecting the treasure before it's too late.

He takes his backpack off his shoulders, then wraps part of it around his hands like an oven mitt. With at least some meager protection from the heat, he then tries to grasp the spear holding the horn over the chasm.
 

Slisik is able to grab the spear and pull it from it's post, but not entirely unharmed. The heat and occasional sparks of molten rock, combined with the heat of the metal spear deal a total of 10 damage before Slisik can escape with the prize.

While Slisik waits it out, the room dips until the floor meets the flame (45 degrees) and then the slick substance is rinsed with the flames from below as they quickly move up the flammable grease substance. A minute later, the floor rises until it's level with the floor he's on, at which point the room looks fairly similar to how it did originally. With Errol and Jesme on the trigger, the door on the opposite end opens and holds while they stand there.

"Errol, I trust the bulging matter benearth your clothes is not just for the opposite sex." She says in her same dry tone as she motions to the slightly ajared door. Once that is wide enough. Go through and see what our friend has gotten herself into. She mentally instructs her friend.

After shouldering his backpack once more, Slisik calls to his companions on the other side of the room. "I'm alright, just a little singed. But I managed to grab a nice prize!" Suddenly, he realizes that he still needs to get back across the room. Hmm, it's shorter on this side. Probably not enough space to get a running start.

"Tesla, any chance you could use your powers to carry me across this pit?"
(Slisik's weight + gear = 265 lb, not including the new spear / horn)
 

Tesla regretfully shakes her head. "No. The trip will not be comforting and I have already expending enough of my energies for the moment." She says. "However..." She begins to say as she looks to her hovering compainion. Be a dear and see if you can help her jump across the chasim. Without a word Arcs simply flys into the room and towards the stranded lizardwomen.


OOC: Though Arcs cannot carry Slisik he could provide a helping bonus by pushing/lifting Slisik as she jumps the chasim. Also Tele. Thrust does damage to thrown objects due how violently the force of the power is, if she throws Slisik, Slisik will take some serious damage.
 

Errol makes sure to remain firmly planted on the pressure plate, not wanting a repeat of the trap's excitement. Maybe you should throw your gear across, then attempt the jump?
