Joseph will move from one stable area to the next then get the gear before moving again, possibly by a rope tied to it or with help from the other characters. He will also attempt to use the rope to help with the descent and to help the other characters.[sblock=Current Status]Joseph Gault (Male human fighter 1)

Gamble stores his buckler and crossbow and makes his way down the rope with the rest. Once at the bottom, he makes sure to immediately treat the druid and her lion. "Please, let me help."

What's the DC for the reflex save exactly

OOC: It's variable. The DC to avoid slipping any distance at all is 20.

[sblock=Reflex Table]Reflex Save Result
20 or higher The character catches himself before he slides too far and takes no damage.
15–19 The character slides down a short hill before slamming into a tree. The character takes 1d4 points of nonlethal damage.
10–14 The character slides far down the hill, reducing the number of checks that need to be made by one. Unfortunately, the character also slides through a pair of thickets and lands hard on some rocks, taking 1d6 points of damage.
5–9 The character slides down a muddy hill and then falls down a 20-foot cliff, taking 2d6 points of damage. This reduces the number of checks that need to be made by one.
4 or less The character slides all the way to the bottom of the ravine, taking 2d6 points of damage and 1d4 points of Dexterity damage from a horribly sprained ankle.[/sblock]
Part way down, Snaggle catches a particularly slick patch and starts sliding as well. The rope slips from his grasp, and he struggles to stay standing using his walking spear. After sliding for only a short distance, he is able to stop himself by aiming for a tree, though he will still have a bruise where he slammed into it.

Joseph and Gamble are able to make it all the way to the bottom without falling, but Snaggle still has one more third of the descent to make.

 

[Isklexi]

The small tree Snaggle slammed against uprooted from the muddy soil, and he tumbled the rest of the way down the hill landing in a semi-comatose heap.

OOC: better than a grease spell PS: the chances of me failing 2 of those acrobatics checks in a row was 1%

For better or worse, you've all made it to the bottom of the ravine, some choosing different methods than others. Snaggle continued to slip, slide, and tumble on his way down, and this time he wasn't as lucky with his encounter with the (same, uprooted) tree. The contact concussed him, and now he has a large lump on his head to go with his various bruises.

GM: Since Snaggle's nonlethal damage equals his current hit points, the kobold is staggered. This condition will go away in 1 hour when the first of the non-lethal damage is healed.

[sblock=Rewards]+400 XP (2,000 XP Total)[/sblock]

 

[Etharia]

OOC: A bunch of over the hill NPC make this trip regularly, why the bleep haven't they put in a path?

 

[BudroThePious]

"So, how long should we rest up?"

OOC: What XP threshhold are we using for second level?

 

[Isklexi]

OOC: It has to be at least on hour for Snaggle to recover from staggered.
