[Eberron] The Forgotten Forge

[Old Fezziwig]

Plonk: The sticky goo inside the spider-sac would be good enough for a while, but you're not sure how much there is or if there's enough for the entire group. Your bedroll and blanket could be cut up and used, which would give you anywhere between 50 and 150 ft. of line (depending on the strength you desired — naturally, the more you cut them up, the less weight the line would support).

Rawhide: [Search check, roll of 13 on d20, +0 Int, total 13] You find nothing of use in the surrounding area.

 

[Krug]

Plonk improvises with his equipment to make about 50' of line. "We probably have to descend one at a time.There goes my blanket and bedroll. Flawed, I'll have to share yours... blanket I mean." The gnome's tongue curls out as he slices and cuts up the gear.

 

[Ashy]

"Bah! Don't need blankets - a nice warm pile o' trash works jus' as good!" The shifter smiles - his joke is genuine, or at least he thinks it is...

 

[MadMaxim]

"Excellent job, Plonk." Gannon pads the gnome on the shoulder. When he's finished making the rope, Gannon takes it, ties it to something that can hold even the weight of the warforged and throws the other end of the improvised rope down the shaft. He then starts his descent into the depths below them. "I'll take the lead. I'll let you know when I get to the bottom of the shaft." And hopefully I'll make it down in one piece... He thinks while climbing down.

OOC: I'm sorry if I'm rushing this a bit, but I've lagging behind lately, so I thought it was about time I stepped up the pace of the exploration a bit. I hope you don't mind

 

[Ashy]

Rawhide looks down the shaft. "Who comes next, boss?"

OOC: Fine by me - the faster the better!

Plonk: [Use Rope check, -2 circumstance for improvised materials, +1 Dex] You make about 50 ft. of rope out of your bedroll and blanket. It's fairly thick and feels reasonably sturdy to you.

Gannon: [Use Rope check, -2 circumstance for improvised materials, +0 Dex] You tie the rope off to an old valve (it's sealed in place by an accumulation of minerals and debris) and begin the descent into the shaft. [Climb check, roll of 19 on d20, +1 Str, total 20] For the first thirty or so feet, you make decent time and the climbing is easy. That's when the improvised rope snaps, and you start to fall. [Reflex save, roll of 16 on d20, +0 Ref, total 16] After falling about 20 ft., you catch yourself and manage to brace yourself in the tunnel [2 damage, 3 non-lethal damage]. Climbing will be slower from here on out, but the shaft's a bit smaller and you're pretty sure you can handle it [Climb check, roll of 12 on d20, +2 circumstance for smaller tunnel, +1 Str, total 15]. You can feel the tunnel start to angle a bit as you climb, but it's still more or less a straight shot, up and down, with no sight of the bottom.

OOC for MadMaxim: You can continue climbing down, or you can go back up. Let me know and I'll continue.

 

[Knight Otu]

Flawed, I'll have to share yours... blanket I mean." The gnome's tongue curls out as he slices and cuts up the gear.

Flawed looks at Plonk a few seconds, then it replies "What makes you think I have a blanket?... What was that sound? Gannon, are you alright?"

(I'm assuming Flawed heard something, despite its low Wis)

 

[Old Fezziwig]

OOC: Sure, that's a fair assumption.

 

[MadMaxim]

"By The Traveler's boots, that was close! I'm okay, Flawed, just a few bruises. The shaft is at least 50 feet deep and I still can't see the bottom from here." Gannon continues to climb down. "I'll continue down and hope I make it to the bottom in one piece, but you had better get a couple of ropes, because one rope will not do the trick. Trust me!" As he continues his descent into the shaft he wonders. What have I got myself into this time, Traveler...? You're not making this easy for me...

 

[Krug]

"More ropes? Where from?" He looks at the others, waiting for them to donate their backpack and bedrolls to the cause...
