Shattered Sea Chronicles, Book I: Festival of the Dead

OOC: Shouldn't Broderick be at -3/22? -9 fall + -16 spikes = -25. 22 - 25 = -3.

OOC: I was already down two hp from the fight, but that should still leave me at 20-25= -5

so still *gurgle* I say ;)

Larren gasps, and then pales as he sees the bloody forms of his companions at the bottom of the pit. "I'll heal them! Get me down there!" Running shakily, he runs over to Joanna, motioning for her to lower her down like she suggested. Larren will try to find footing without spikes on it, and cast a healing spell on the immobile Jillian.

[sblock="OOC"]Cure light wounds, getting rid of suggestion. Losing disguise self for the earlier clw, and all of the orisons except light.[/sblock]

Pauly The Psion

Take these as well then.” Offers Pauly as he hands Larren all oh curative potions. Though he is not that string he does his best to help the large warrior lower Larren into the pit.

With Pauly's assistance, Johanna lowers Larren as far as they can manage into the pit. (Pauly Str assist 10 success, Johanna Str check 14 success) He drops down the rest of the way, landing badly, and managing to impale his foot on a spike. (Larren Dex check 8 fails, -9 hp Larren 6/15) While they are managing this, both Broderick and Jillian continue bleeding. (-1 hp each, -4/22 Broderick, -9/10 Jillian) Despite the pain, Larren does manage to powerfully focus the power of entropy to heal Jillian. (+10 hp Jillian 1/10) Broderick bleeds a bit more. (-1 hp Broderick, -5/22). Then Larren pours the most powerful of the healing potions down the dwarf's gullet. (+15 hp Broderick, 10/22).

Both Jillian and Broderick are conscious, though not in the best condition, and Larren too is hurt . The axe on the far side of the pit continues it's swinging back and forth.
 

Redbeard

Redbeard stands at the edge of the pit, telling Larren how to place his feet. "No, ye fool, ye other left!" Seeing Larren's boot begin to darken with blood he passes down both of his potions of CLW as well. "Take these, it should be heain'l most of ye wounds. Ye be havin' rope down there Broderick? I make a mighty fine anchor if ye needs to climb up." While those in the pit search their bags and take any more potions, Redbeard carefully takes his longspear and places against the haft of the swinging axe, trying to slow it's momentum.
 

"Ow! Ow!" Larren winces as he feels the spikes drive through his feet. He puts a hand out on the pit wall to balance, barely able to stand but knowing that falling down would not be a good idea at this point. He catches the potion that's offered to him and chugs it down, making sure to find safe footing before healing his wounds. "I don't suppose you have any rope, thief girl? Seems like something you would have in your bag of tools."

"Aye, Red, aye" says Broderick wearily as the dwarf slowly unloads his pack to search for some rope. He find the length quickly despite his apparent slowness and tosses a length up to Redbeard. "Up wit' the both of ye, I'll hold this end." says Broderick to Larren and Jillian
 

Redbeard

Redbeard grabs ahold of the rope, putting all his massive weight into keeping in place. He looks around to see if there is anything stable to tie it to. If not he ties it to himself and plants his feet and motions the others to help him keep his balance. "Ye may climb up, I be ready. How much more healin do ye be needin'? Perhaps we should take some loot up and buy a healin' wand quick like."

The pit, liberally speckled here and there with the blood of the adventurers, becomes a scene of considerable activity. Larren drinks down both potions, before his wounds heal up. (Full health) Redbeard's attempts to stop the axe's movements don't have much effect, the axe continuing the deadly arc, powered by some dwarven machinework hidden in the ceiling above.

The efforts to get everybody up and out of the pit turn out to take the combined efforts of Redbeard, Pauly, and Johanna. Broderick, clad in iron, is no lightweight. Larren and Jillian are much less difficult to extract.

In the end, though, everyone is up, on the south side of the pit. Across ten feet of open space is the swinging axe, and beyond that, a length of hallway leading to an iron-bound oak door.

As they consider their next move, the distant sound of chanting, from back in the main hallway, stops.
