Kulan: Knightfall's Heroes of Carnell Game [IC]

"Owls are pretty dextrous," Caerth muses. "I could ask him to try that."

OOC: Caerth is reluctant to let anyone know he can Wild Shape. He'll do it if necessary, but prefers to find other ways. :)

"Lorien, This protection from falling you mentioned. and the flying magic, that will help with getting and keeping people safe from falling. But this storm is arriving and would do terrible things if the metal pole were struck by lightning to out charge up there. We need to move quickly. I will climb, thread the pulley and tie off on the body.

How does this protection from falling work? I would prefer to have hands and not wings."

If it is not apparent yet, this last statement should show Quinn has no idea how fly magic works.
 

"I have a rope" Lorien says and pulls out the end of a silken rope from his backpack. "I also have a spell to save the climber from falling." He hands the rope to Quinn. "And I believe Phar knows a spell for flying." He turns to the other elf and asks in elven: "Or did you prepare it only once?"
"I only prepared it for once. I also prepared feather fall." Phar closes his mind to try to take stock of what he has left for the day. 'It's been a long hard day,' he thinks. "If we need more rope, I have some in my handy haversack, but we should get Aureus to use her rope of climbing." The elven paragon looks to Aureus. He motions to her while speaking to her in the elvish pidgin they share.

Aureus nods. She digs out her magical rope and activates it with a command word. The rope first knots itself to ease the climb then coils around the flagstaff all the way to the top, loops itself through the pulley, and secures itself to the body. Aureus doesn't wait for Phar to pull out his own rope to secure her. She scampers up the rope to the body before Phar or the others can object. She checks the chain wrapped around the body. the lock holding it in place is child's play for her. She easily opens it.

"Hold the rope," she barks out to Phar in pidgin elvish.

"Quinn, grab the rope. She's already unchained the body," Phar says with a laugh. He takes a hold of the end of the magical rope and ties his own rope to it after digging it out of his magical backpack.

Once Quinn has the rope in his hands, Aureus removes the last of the chain holding the fallen lord. The chain hits the top of the tower and then slides down the stairwell as the bulk of its weight disappears down the opening to the level below. The hutaakan rogue gives a thumbs up before she lets go of the body. She deftly climbs down the flagstaff and waits for Quinn to lower the body.

She gives Caerth and Lorien a wide toothy grin.

OOC: Did Phar use his fly spell, earlier? I don't remember. :p | Aureus's Climb check > 1d20+11=21, Open Lock check > 1d20+21=31

When Quinn sees the rope knot itself he gives a low whistle in admiration of the item. "Now that is a very handy thing to have."

When everything is done and every one is back on firm ground he actually gives a slight smile. "I am glad that went well. Now let's get this man home for a proper ritual, yes?"
 


Quinn takes his cape and offers it as a burial shroud. This was done in the arena when a great warrior was fallen, so he is not a stranger to this act, "We can each carry a corner to carry him."

"I remember this warrior who went by the name The Blood Chief, an Orc. He fought valiantly. Hard. Vicious. I still beat him and I and 3 others carried him out with honor on his own cape so the arena lions and tigers would not despoil his body."

Phar smiles as the team's ingenuity recovers the body. He reddens slightly at the sight of the body and adopts a more appropriate and reverent expression before saying, "Let's get moving. We don't want to have to fight and carry the body at the same time."
 


Caerth helps the others to wrap the body up in Quinns cape and takes a corner to carry it. "Two might be enough to carry him, so the others can be ready to fight off any attack, I suppose."
 

"My weapon only needs one hand." He ties the corners of the other end of his cape and carries it at the knot. He takes his spiked chain in the other and appears ready.
