Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Not really anything to break his fall. However, Climb +7 means that his chance of actually falling if he uses the two walls to lower the DC to 15 is very low. He needs an 8 to climb up and a 3 or lower to fall (and he only falls on a 1 if anybody has a climber's kit. Does he have Jump or Tumble just in case? Also, a grappling hook could be another way to get the rope up)

 

[Legildur]

(OOC: Blunt doesn't have a climber's kit nor grapple, but he certainly has Jump +8 and Tumble +7) Closing his eyes for a moment, Blunt steels himself for a few moments. He then opens his eyes once again and grabs the nearest length of suitable rope (more than 60ft). He moves to the wall and braces himself and commences climbing, concentrating on the task and allowing the others to watch out for guards and the like.

(OOC: It looks like the only ropes people have are 50 feet. You could just have the Rope hanging 10 feet up without a problem, though, since any fall of less than that is negligible or splice two 50s together with Use Rope)

*After figuring out about the rope, Blunt climbs upward, occasionally leaning back against the other wall or bouncing back and forth, repelling off the walls as he climbs upwards. At first, he stumbles less than 10 feet up, but he tumbles and is unharmed. After this, he heads up 22.5 feet, pauses for a moment, heads up a bit more to a total 30 feet, nearly loses his grip several times, heads up to 37.5 feet and nearly falls again, makes it nearly to the top and then slips and begins to fall, grabbing out and catching the top of the building just in the nick of time. He pulls himself over the lip and onto the warehouse roof.*

(OOC: Wow, IC loves to give you 4, 5, and 6. It hates you on an institutional level!)

Blunt pauses for a few moments and let's his heart settle after the near fall. He looks around the roof for a place to secure the rope (if we successfully tied two together) and tests it before he lowers the end down for the others.

(OOC: I can't be sure--only Titus and Kel are posted, so I only know for sure you guys have 50' of rope. Even Blunt is not up because you posted a Whisper Gnome )

 

[Legildur]

(OOC: Blunt doesn't have rope. I still haven't fixed the RG entry? <sigh> My sig has a pointer to Blunt that works just fine.) Realising that he needs every bit of rope to reach down, Blunt grabs the rope and braces himself, ready for the first person to climb it. (hoping that it's Kel)

 

[Rystil Arden]

(OOC: Sulannus or Shan might have rope too--we'll see

Oh RIGHT, the hopefuls thread. Let me check that It appears that at least in the hopefuls thread Sulannus has no items and Shan has only weapons and armour)

Titus Farrab, human ranger

As the rope flops down, Titus positions himself below it, interlacing his fingers.

"Who's up first?" he whispers, hands set to give whoever it is a step up.

As the rope flops down, Titus positions himself below it, interlacing his fingers.

"Who's up first?" he whispers, hands set to give whoever it is a step up.

"That'd be me," says Kel, handing the sunrod to Shan and taking a few steps back to get a run up. "It's like the tumbling, isn't it?" He then grins and adds, "Just don't drop me this time!"

*Titus gives Kel a step up and then the young man climbs up the rope to the roof with Blunt.*
