Playtesting: IG's 'The Making of Heroes'

[OnlytheStrong]

Aramil returns to the group (across the gorge of course), "Perhaps we should look into fixing this bridge. It seems to be the only way."

 

[Legildur]

The dwarf readily agrees. 'Anything better than falling from that skinny rope!' Dowkan thinks to himself

 

[Arkhandus]

Irathias sighs. "At least he didn't fall. I can't believe the hook slipped!" he says with a scowl. "Well, we better look for another way to cross the chasm, I guess. I don't think we can repair the bridge from here. We'd need a team of men, more rope, and more grappling hooks. One elf, a dwarf, and a half-orc aren't likely to cut it" he says.

"Sorry Aramil!" he calls out, followed by "Toss back the grapple and I'll reel it in, then we'll look for another crossing point!"

 

[OnlytheStrong]

"No other place to cross. It's either climb down and back up or fix this bridge." Aramil looks around, perhaps it could be possible to raise the old bridge. "Perhaps we could use your grappling hook to bring the bridge back to you?"

 

[Legildur]

The dwarf grunts in disgust at the elf beats him to the punch with the grappling hook suggestion. But he agrees to help out in the heavy lifting.

The old bridge is made up of planks of wood secured with rope. While it's not a new bridge, it certainly looks as if it would be passable if it were reattached to the other side. It would most assuredly be heavy, but with Thogrim and Dowkan behind the reigns, it just may be possible.

 

[Arkhandus]

Irathias still looks doubtful. "I'm not that good with knots, y'know. I got someone else in town to secure this grappling hook to my rope, but I didn't really bother learning much from him about knots. I don't think any of us are cordwains or sailors, are we?" he says.

 

[Legildur]

The dwarf guffaws briefly, before resuming his watch with his sling.

 

[industrygothica]

[sblock=ooc]So have you all decided on how you want to proceed? In the interest of moving things along, I'm prepared to rule that "you've all made it across," and leave it at that, if need be. I don't want to get stuck on petty things.[/sblock]

 

[Legildur]

"Well, we either be heavin' that bridge back into place, or building us a new one," the dwarf says. "Ain't no way I'm skinnying along some flimsy rope. I reckon makin' use of the old bridge be the way to go meself." Dowkan puts away his sling, it being obvious now that they haven't been interrupted, and prepares to do some heavy lifting.
