[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 9052747, member: 20323"] In Discord, dom asked "Can you explain what happens if we hunker down as groups and remain tied together?" Thought I'd share answer here too for [USER=6746292]@Aethmud[/USER] and [USER=15132]@Steve Gorak[/USER] ... If everyone hunkered down, I'd let anyone with Advantage give up their Advantage to allow a PC who already used the pitons (i.e. Corse, Alma, or Logrim) and who is linked to you on the rope chain to be able to use your support/piton to make a Strength save. For ex, Russet is roped to Arik & Corse, so he could give up his advantage to let Corse use his support/piton – you and Corse would both roll DC 10 Strength saves. Succeed? you find a little ledge and the avalanche pours over you. Fail? you get swept away by the avalanche. AFTER all this the rope connections come into play. There'd be a cascade of Strength saves that will require adjudication based on what actually happens. BUT, anyone with pitons set/active (i.e. Russet, Arik, Zeth, Jack, Lumrolur) who [I]hasn't[/I] been swept away already can automatically succeed this Strength save to arrest falling friends. The Strength save would start at DC 10, then increase +1 per PC away from the point of fall. For ex, let's say Lumrolur cuts himself free and dashes to safety, Russet is swept away (so he no longer has a piton set/active), but Arik succeeded earlier. Arik's piton would catch both Alma and Russet. However, Alma and Russet would take a bit of fall damage, measured from Arik as their anchor... looks like ~10 feet for Russet and ~15 feet for Alma, so they'd both take 1d6 fall damage. [/QUOTE]
