Zook maintains his balance ((Balance check success)) and grabs on to the other rope to keep from falling over the side... but he definitely can feel the unwinding of the second rope at the far end and he knows the bridge will be collapsing under his weight any second now!  He has to act immediately or else he's plunging the fifty or sixty feet to the crevasse bottom below!!!**********OOC:  Zook, please tell me what you will do in the next three seconds as the rope breaks from underneath you.  You can either try and rush back to either side of the bridge in a regular move, or you can try and accomplish some action which will give you a positive modifier on your Reflex save that I will roll for you.  This action should be something to protect you or help you maintain grip to keep you from falling when the bridge collapses out from underneath you. If you choose to take an action to increase your Reflex save, the more specific and logical your action can be in those three seconds, the better modifier I will give you.  If you choose to rush back to either cliffside... be aware that you are twenty feet away from either end and you have half a round.  Your double move is 60 feet normally in one round, thus in half a round is 30 feet.  However, because the bridge is lilting to one side because of the snapped rope, your movement is halved, meaning you can move 15 feet before the bridge collapses underneath you.  You'll need something else to happen to help you on those last five feet.  Again, the more descriptive and logical your action, the better chance you have of whatever you want to occur actually working out for you.So please write out what Zook will do in these next three seconds.[code]Here is the map of the full bridge and where everyone is in relation to it.ooooooooooo[COLOR=Sienna]|[/COLOR]ooooooooooooooooooooooo[COLOR=Sienna]|[/COLOR]oooooooooooo[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]XXXXXXXXXXX[COLOR=Sienna]"[/COLOR]XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[COLOR=Sienna]"[/COLOR]XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[COLOR=Sienna]"[/COLOR]XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[COLOR=SandyBrown]Z[/COLOR]XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[COLOR=Sienna]"[/COLOR]XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[COLOR=Sienna]"[/COLOR]XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX[COLOR=Sienna]"[/COLOR]XXXXXXXXXXXX[/COLOR]ooooooooooo[COLOR=Sienna]|[/COLOR]ooooooooooooooooooooooo[COLOR=Sienna]|[/COLOR][COLOR=GOLd]K[/COLOR]oooooooooooooooooooooo[COLOR=Sienna]|[/COLOR][COLOR=YellowGreen]L[/COLOR]ooooooooooo[/code]</blockquote>
