RESTARTED - Rhun's Greyhawk ALPHA Campaign (tToEE) - PART III

[Legildur]

"Let's get on with it," Kurt impatiently utters.

 

[Rhun]

OOC: I'll get a post up this weekend, guys! I apologize once again, but RL is still kinda kicking me in the ass.

“I'm a decent climber, but I won't decline the safety of a rope. If one of you guys are really sure of being able to get down without the rope, you should surely take the rear and also take the rope with you.”.

"I think I'm probably the best climber in the group, if we're just talking about physical abilities, but I think that Verdis has in mind to 'cheat' with magic, so that will probably make him less likely to fall."

 

[Rhun]

The shaft descends for some distance, but eventually the darkness begins to let up, illuminated by a milky glow from below. You begin to smell a faint, sickly sweet scent carried on the air. As Ragnok reaches the end of the ledge leading down, he is left glancing down from the ceiling of a sprawling room, the floor some forty-five feet below. A swirling, eddying mist in the chamber below seems to be the source of the light, and a great square cub of bronze rests directly below your position.

The room below appears to be empty.

OOC: If the floor is 45 feet below our position, what are we standing on? Is there an obvious way to descend safely?

OOC: If the floor is 45 feet below our position, what are we standing on? Is there an obvious way to descend safely?

OOC: There is a two-foot wide ledge that wraps around the well shaft and that you walked down to reach the bottom of the well. That ledge ends in a lip around the bottom of the shaft. There is no obvious way to descend the 45 feet between your position and the floor below...although there are enough cracks and such in the limestone walls that you could easily hammer in a few pitons to secure a rope.

 

[Scotley]

Verdis

From his place at the rear of the group, Verdis simply waits until the others figure a way forward. He keeps a keen eye out for trouble behind them.

Somewhat frustrated, Trevor says, "Ok, who's turn was it to bring the da** pitons?"

 

[Boddynock]

"Should've known it wasn't going to be that easy!" mutters Ragnok.

He then works his way back up the ledge and says to the others, "Well, unless somebody's got some pitons and a hammer, we're not going down there."
