D&D 5E Dark sun Times of change

[FitzTheRuke]

Chick will lead the way down, torch in one hand, gythka in two others, net in a fourth.

The stairs carry you down further, just how deep does this go? The steps become steeper and steeper until they stop being steps and just become a steep slope that quickly rounds a corner making it impossible to see the bottom.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

OOC: Can I safely skitter down it (with a check, I assume) or do I need a rope or climbers kit?

 

[Azurewraith]

You could try getting down with using both arms and wall either side with a DC 15 athletics check a rope would definitely be safer.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Chick stows his net and gythka and unravels a rope. Passing it off to at least one or two strong party members, he waits until they are sufficiently braced and then uses three of his four hands to ply out the rope while climbing down, holding a torch in the last hand.

“Well, it’s the only way they could have gone,” Kimet mused, even though she couldn’t find any tracks.

Once the stairs ran out, Kimet took the rope Chik handed to her and looped it around her waist for leverage, playing it out slowly as the thri-kreen descended down the steep slope.

[Azurewraith]

Chick names his way down the slope the walls on the corners show great signs of wear as if something has scraped past many times as he gets half way down he can hear the subtle gurgling and bubbling of water.

GM: The rope reduces the dc down to a 10 if anyone else wants to try.

 

[Azurewraith]

GM: Things seem to have slowed down so moving swiftly on

The slope ends abruptly fortunately the rope keeps chunk from falling into the plunge pool of the strange brown,sludgy water unlike what appears to be a Templar that is slowly being dissolved. Carefully navigating his way around the pool reveals a long corridor ending I'm a square room some 70ft away, the tell take signs of a fire can be seen dancing in the darkness.

 

[FitzTheRuke]

Chick will hold the rope away from the plunge pool for others to navigate down while keeping an eye over his shoulder toward the dancing fire.

Curious about what else is in this old thing, and no more thrilled about the minions of defilers plumbing the place than the others seem to be, Kanna descends the rope...

Athletics: [roll0]

On seeing the body slowly steaming away in the goop, the halfling considers the possibility of dipping a clay pot into it and keeping the stuff...but she hasn't got anything suitable at the moment. Maybe there would be something like that further inside?

It's a shame the man's water was lost though. Servant of the defilers or no, his meat was the same as anyone's. The waste of it made her jaws ache.

She spots the fire though and wastes no time nor talk, but creeps closer to see what she can see and hear.
