[IC] The Odd Job

GM: Kinda why I Went with STR because dex is God stat and extreme range

There is a landing of 5ft on the other side. The door way is open and inky blackness is all that can be seen on the far side.

Asha reaches up and test the rope seeing how secure the anchors are set in the wall. She then examines the anchors looking for anything that might indicate a trap.

OOC: GM: Kinda why I Went with STR because dex is God stat and extreme range Not a problem at our level. But if someone had the sharpshooter feat, it would be a mildly unfair ruling. We are overanalyzing this at this point. Khaless, throw the grappling hook.

 

[Azurewraith]

The rope doesn't appear to have any visible anchor at all it is simply suspended in the air by some form of magic. There appear to be no signs of traps.

Hrgach finished his elaborate knotting. “Better idea than just flinging the damn thing and hoping and praying we catch something,” he said. The rope he held had two loops, which he stepped his legs through, like a rescue sling. Then he hooked the grappling hook onto the suspended rope. Now he hung just beneath the suspended rope in a kind of seat. He took rope from someone else and tied it to the grappling hook. “So you can pull it back once I’m across.”

With the makeshift gondola established, Hrgach simply pulled himself hand over hand along the suspended rope over the pit toward the other side.

OOC: Sorry. Didn’t mean to negate all the discussion about throwing grappling hooks and ranges and such. This just seemed easier than making a bunch of rolls at disadvantage and hoping for something to stick.

The group manage to slide along the rope with relative ease making the way to the other side.

The doorway opens up into pure blackness, this isn't darkness as in the absence of light this is darkness that is devouring all the light. Even those of you accustomed to living in the twilight cannot see their Darkvision failing them.

"Maybe we should go get that 15 foot pole and poke it around in there."

Hrgach sighed. “If it isn’t one thing, it’s another,” he said as he stared into the darkness that even his darkvision couldn’t penetrate. “Anyone able to dispel this?” he asked. “I’ll go back and get the pole.”

He headed back across the pit, retrieved the pole, and sidled back, though it took some time, as it was awkward to do until he could pass the pole off to the others.

GM: So what's the plan are you moving as a group? Or a one man mine sweeper.
