D&D 5E [IC] Uller's Out of the Abyss

[DMAesh]

Ezraen stifles a chuckle at Orsik's outburst, "Perhaps! Curiosity is tugging at me, but let us see if this exit is truly to the... outside. What do the rest of you think?"

 

[JustinCase]

"I was just... I mean..." Erevan stutters, until he realizes Orsik is just teasing him. "Just thought we lost you," the elf quietly adds.

As Glabbagol takes them further into the tunnels, Erevan tries to stay alert to any danger, instinctively watching Orsiks every move.

"That new passage may lead outside, or perhaps it leads nowhere. We'll have to try, otherwise we're stuck here."

 

[SunGold]

OOC: Surana's cool with taking the new passage.

 

[DMAesh]

"How far do we intend to go before we go back to collect the others?"

 

[JustinCase]

"Only far enough to know if it's a way out, of course," Erevan says with a tiny smile that doesn't reach his eyes. "We'll get the others if it's safe."

 

[DMAesh]

Ezraen shrugs, "Of course, but if it just seems to be a long tunnel, we should probably turn back within, what? Fifteen minutes or so? Just play it by gut? I can't tell time in this blasted place!"

The paladin seems to be losing composure, but he stops and collects himself, "Nevermind. Let us take a look and see if it opens up soon."

 

[Uller]

OOC: I just realized Orsik's cure wounds roll didn't take...so rolling again. [roll0]

The passage doesn't go far until it opens into a larger chamber that is filled by a pool of water. Water is pouring in through several large cracks in the 10' high ceiling. Orsik quickly confirms that the cracks were probably caused by the tremors that sealed you in this place. There are no other visible exits and it only takes a moment of observation to see that the water level is rising slowly. The stone throughout this area is cracked, loose and unstable.

 

[DMAesh]

Ezraen sighs, "Maybe elsewhere in the complex?"

OOC: Are those cracks large enough for a person to fit? And the water coming in, is it a mere trickle or gushing? Are we in danger of getting flooded out?

 

[Uller]

OOC: Ezraen sighs, "Maybe elsewhere in the complex?" Are those cracks large enough for a person to fit? And the water coming in, is it a mere trickle or gushing? Are we in danger of getting flooded out? The water is gushing. Maybe big enough for a small character but one would have to get up there. The rocks around where the water is coming in looks like they could be moved. The water is rising, so if you don't find a way out, yes.

 

[DMAesh]

OOC: Could we make an Intelligence check to estimate about how much time we have? Or is it obviously a matter of hours, maybe? Assuming, of course, we have only explored a portion of this complex...
