Feint Whispers Chapter #4: The Hallowed Hills

[jasamcarl]

The chasm is deep enough that, even with torchlight, you are unable to see the bottom.

Norri is unable to find any side passages.

OOC: I will allow those who wish to take 10 on this check. Consult the phb to see if you are capable of doing this or if you think the risk is worth it. Obviously, a running jump would be advisable.

Let me know when/if you decide to jump.

 

[Tokiwong]

"Well anyone got a plan, it don't look far, but I think messing up is out of the question," Jericho kicks a rock down into the chasm... and listens for an echo, or any sound.

 

[Krug]

"Well perhaps some of you will go first, and then... dangle a rope across," he says.

No way I'll make it if I take 10.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

"Ah definitely.." listens for eht rock to fall as well.

 

[jasamcarl]

Three seconds later, everyone hears the pebble crash into the bottom of the chasm.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Norri gives a sneaky grin then pulls a vial from his backpack.

"This little concoction friends can allow you to leap great distances in a single bound," he gives it a little swirl, watching the contents of the vial dance for a moment, "I'll go if someone else has some rope I could make use of, securely attach it to a rock spike and stuff."

 

[Tokiwong]

"You and me both, you gofirst little man and then I shall follow, I think I can jump it..." Jericho will attempt to jump after Norri does so...

 

[jasamcarl]

Norri and Jericho are able to jump the chasm and proceed to tie the rope to a stalagtite. Everyone else attempts the jump, but fall short, only saved by the rope in their hands, struggling back to the surface of the cavern.

Everyone is now near the campfire, standing over the corpses of the two orcs who greeted you upon your entrance to the cavern. The boulder stands waiting.

ooc: decided to speed through this. just wanted to make sure everyone gave it some consideration.


ooc: Festy, I didn't take your potion of Jump into account, because you could have made the jump by just taking 10. Let me know if I didn't translate your intent here.

 

[Krug]

Bhartus knocks against the Boulder. "Who is there? Why have you been trapped inside?"

 

[Mirth]

Tarowyn retrieves his two daggers and his bow, securing them before making the jump after the others.

Everyone else attempts the jump, but fall short, only saved by the rope in their hands, struggling back to the surface of the cavern.

"Ugh," the elf grunts as he grasps the rope and pulls himself up. "Thanks for the help you two," he says to Norri and Jericho once he's safe on the other side. "Jericho, should we put our shoulders with the priest's and try to move this rock?"

OOC: Sorry about the delay in posting. I see you saw my thread in Talking the Talk.
