[pfrpg] follow me into shadows

Keepiru leans over the edge, trying to see if Sindri is okay and if he has started up yet. He almost volunteers to be lowered down in case Sindri is badly hurt. However as his companion begins shouting and moving around he realizes he must be alright. Belatedly he realize he might have been able to illuminate the area down below with more powerful magics, but it seems too late for that now that the rope is down. He moves over to make himself useful and pull the other end of the rope if Sindri needs help climbing.

[sblock=Sindri] As you pull the rope, it gives. It must be breaking through the webbing, rather than resting on a supportive stone surface. As it does, something falls on your face and crawls down your neck. The statues are staring at you with their strange, laughing eyes, and you have a severe doubt that you'll ever make it out of here alive; your hands and arms feel so weak, your head is swimming from the fall, and the climb seems so hard.

Roll a Fort save.
Roll a Will save.

I need to know if you're going to hold the rope with one hand or two. How are you going to hold the spear? Are you going to leave the torch on the ground?

If you're going to climb the rope, it's clear that you'll have to tug until you get resistance, ie: break through the webs between the hole you fell through and the ledge where the party is. In that direction is the darkness. [/sblock]

[sblock=Julius] You notice a throb of the red light behind you, and can feel a presence coming from the Gem. This sounds weird but you suddenly "know" that... it's female. [/sblock]

Julius looks behind him at the red gem, now beginning to glow, "Guys, something is happening over here!" he says, looking at the gem, "There is a female presence inside of it, I don't know how to communicate with it"

[sblock]OOC: My previous two posts address nearly all the issues you bring up in your post. Post #436 Sindri threw the torch up into the webs and ran for the edge of the room towards the party. Post #440 Sindri 'stashed his spear' by which I meant he strapped it to his back somehow before he started climbing.

Fort Save: (1d20+4=5)
Will Save: (1d20+3=15)
Climb check: (1d20-2=9) (If possible)

Strength check: (1d20=1)

Four rolls & two are 1's. There is something seriously wrong with Invisible Castle. If the dice roller here weren't so huge I'd use it instead. [/sblock]

 

[fireinthedust]

[sblock=Sindri] Oh! You're right! That changes things. Sorry, missed it. Did you have the Spear tip that's lit up sticking out so you can still see, I'm guessing?

And please edit to keep your actions in Sblock; it's seeeecret.

Ahem: could you roll a strength check? To see if the torch reaches the webs. Your arms are feeling very weak, and the webs are very high up. You're feeling clumsy and disoriented. If you make it, I'll let you know what happens to the webs.

Luckily, you've pushed back the fear and avoided being overwhelmed by the sheer horror of your situation. Barely.

Climbing: You pull on the rope as best you can, following it to the wall. The wall has lots of shapes carved onto it, ribs and round eyes and mouths. You've heard of Chaos Beasts and Gibbering Mouthers, and this wall looks like a petrified version of either, sized impossibly large. Try as you will, you can't get up its surface on your own strength.

Angus hangs on to the rope and braces himself against Sindri's weight but won't pull. If Sindri appears to have problems climbing up will he ask if he needs pulling up. Only if Sindri request it will he actual pull up the rope.

 

[GlassEye]

After the initial jerk of Sindri's weight on the rope it stops moving as if Sindri has stopped climbing and is just hanging there as dead weight. Jack growls softly, "Not right, not right, not right..." He gives a brief tug on the rope and says to Angus, "We should pull him up; this is not right, not right..."

[sblock=OOC]Added Sindri's STR check in the post above. He clearly didn't get the torch where it needed to go.[/sblock]

 

[fireinthedust]

[sblock=Sindri OOC] nope, not up there. Too weak. Also, the torch falls beyond the range of your sight, you can only see a light patch in its direction.

Sindri can't hold himself there: he's too heavy for his weak arms. There's also a pain in his chest that's growing stronger. Jack can feel it as a ghost pain in his own chest.[/sblock]

Those of you on the ledge can roll a perception check for me please. That's spot, right?

 

[GandalfMithrandir]

Yup, spot is perception, should we use the shiny new dice roller for one roll posts or IC, in anycase: 1d20+10=12

 

[ghostcat]

OOC: Perception Check (1d20+1=15)
