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

[Uller]

Orsik moves along with you trying to keep pace. "Wait? You want us ALL to use the same potion? I don't think there is enough. What if it's a long distance to and open passage? We'll get turned to paste! "

 

[DMAesh]

Ezraen looks at the priest with a stern face, Best pray to Moradin that it doesn't. If we don't find us a way out, we die slow and suffocate. Do you have a better idea?

 

[SunGold]

"We dropped down maybe fifteen feet to get in here," Surana replies to Orsik. "Unless that entire cavern above collapsed, it's not that far up to get out of here. And if it did, we're going to die anyway.

Besides, what's the alternative? Two or three of us drink it, get out, and...dig? There's no time. Everyone left behind would drown, even if we did manage to dig in the right place, with the tools we don't have.

But if you've got another idea, let's hear it. All I care is that we get out."

OOC: Am I the only one who feels like this is a terribly written "puzzle"? God I just want it to end; I don't care if the conclusion is "you all resolidify in rocks; everyone dies."

 

[DMAesh]

OOC: It does seem like one of those hopeless scenarios. Hmmm...

OOC: Yeah, I've got the sense that you weren't enjoying the puzzle...it made even less sense without a few additions I put in. Otherwise you would have to let the entire place flood before you could escape....The adventure text never mentions how the drow got in here or how he intended to get out. Sometimes maybe it's best not to think too hard about it, I guess. Anyway. You can try to divide the potion into 11 portions if you like but potions are only about an ounce (or 30 ml) so we're talking about portions less than half a teaspoon or 2-3 ml. Which would be about a sip...which is what you took that caused you to "blink" in and out of fog form. Each division erodes the potency, after all. I suppose an Arcana or Medicine check can give you a clue as to how long 1/11th of the potion will last. Oh? And are you giving a portion to Glabbagool or leaving him to his fate? That would mean trying to divide the potion 12 ways.

 

[DMAesh]

OOC: Do you think that Glabbagool could squeeze through the cracks? I would think that oozes could be malleable enough, though how he would get up might be a stretch... Let us see.

OOC: Hate this roller.

"Alright, I see your point," Erevan says reluctantly, drawing his bow and an arrow. "But what if we don't have enough for all of us?"

The elf shivers a bit as he thinks about how to choose who drinks first.

OOC: Init: [roll0] Did Erevan find other useful potions back at the drow encampment? I saw something like that in the RG.

[roll0]

No. He can't squeeze through.

Orsik says "You have two dwarves and a quaggoth. I'm sure we could move a bunch of broken up stone once we get to it. This place won't fill up for several more hours."
