Dungeon of the Fire Opal, part V

[Taz]

“Sure, I can check. Anyone got a rope handy?”

If Taz can get a rope from anyone, she'll tie it firmly to one of the rings and then climb down to check the pit for any useful information or stuff. Afterwards climb up again and report her findings.

 

[Jalon Odessa]

“Sure, I can check. Anyone got a rope handy?”

'Alas, I did not have the foresight to bring a rope, m'lady.'

The heavily-armoured warrior priest casts a glance towards the rest of the party, particularly the elf and halflings.

'Perhaps one of the more nimble members of our group brought such an item.'

 

[reapersaurus]

Ubaar takes the rope that Murhid and Kytess used earlier off his pack, and leans down in the pit to tie it off to the ring.
"Here you go, Taz.
You sure you wanna go down 'dere?

Lemme check something first...."

Ubaar leans over, sticks his head thru, and sees what his half-orc vision can show him.

 

[Taz]

“Ok, thanks.”

Climbing down...

Taz's light is pretty bright and has no problem lighting the bottom of the 30' deep pit.

“Ok, thanks.”

Climbing down...

The nimble halfling has no problems climbing down the pit, using the rope and the rough stony walls are support.

She soon finds herself at the bottom of a 9'x9'x30' pit, standing on a pile of old bones and other organic garbage. The bones shift a bit under her weight.

It smells real bad in here and it is very dusty. There seems to be enough bones for two human-sized humanoids. Then, she spots a dull glow reflecting off something on a bone in the vial's light (still golden btw). Looks like a steel bracer, hanging loosely around a forearm bone.

 

[Taz]

Taz will cast detect magic and check the pit thoroughly. She will not be unwary about something, that might be hidden beneath that pile of bones, tho.

 

[reapersaurus]

Ubaar worriedly calls down to the halfling -
"Make sure you hold on to the rope, Taz!
If anything spooks you down there, lemme know and I'll pull ya up real quick-like!"

Ubaar reluctantly takes a long sniff of the putrid air to see if he recognizes any smells that may indicate a damger. (Scent, recognizing smells like humans do sights)

 

[CRGreathouse]

Kytess waits at the edge of the pit, preparing to jump in if the little one needs help!

(Charles calculates average damage = 2.3 plus 3.5 subdual )

 

[Jalon Odessa]

Jalon mirrors Kytess' stance along the pit's opposite edge, readying his longsword should a foe unexpectedly appear.

 

[HeavyG]

Taz will cast detect magic and check the pit thoroughly. She will not be unwary about something, that might be hidden beneath that pile of bones, tho.

The party hears some arcane mumbling from the pit.

Below, Taz completes the words to her spell. She concentrates on her surroundings, attuning herself to the flows of magic.

To her magical perception, the vial containing the water of Eldath shine like a small sun, but she manages to drown it out and scans the area around her. After a while, she's sure : There's no magical auras here other than what she's carrying.

Nothing living down there, you're sure of it.
