Six From Gate Pass - Chapter 3: Shelter From The Storm

[Bannock]

"Lars, where's your rope??"

Bannock spins his glaive backwards and grasps it just below the blade, while leaning forward and extending the hilt all the way through the hole alongside Lars' body, so that it sticks out the other side by a foot or so.

"Grab hold of the shaft and Torrent and I will pull you out!"

To Torrent he says, "If you grab hold of my armour we can pull together."

OOC: Bannock's intent is to allow another character to grab onto the glaive as a hand-hold to get up, while Bannock and Torrent can yank the person out.

 

[Gregor]

Torrent moves up and grabs onto the rear of Bannock's breastplate. She grips tightly and prepares to help pull her friends out.

GM: Torrent and Bannock can simply pull someone out, given their combined strength. The next person attempting a climb check can just escape having been pulled out. Lars' extended hand can still provide a +2 to a climb check for someoone else.

 

[funkmamagoat]

Kirio quickly makes use of his friend's help, and exits the terrifying cube of growing molten rock...

 

[Gregor]

GM: Kirio is hauled out by Bannock and Torrent. Hrimr and Arnir will have to make use of Lars' +2 to their climb check, or attempt an escape on their own.

 

[The Bashar]

With the soles of his feet burning Hrimr tries to make it up to Lars' hand and out of this blazing inferno.

But slips back down the wall short of Lars' hand.

********

The lava is now dripping down at a rate that might as well be described as pouring. The smokey brimstone is now up to your ankles and in a matter of seconds, you'll be immersed in the lava.

GM: Next round, anyone in the room is completely immersed in lava and the damage dramatically increases.

 

[digimattic]

Arnir is well and truly panicking at this point, but his heart leaps as Kirio is hauled out by Bannock's brawn. He fights through the sickening pain of his flesh literally being burned from his bones and prays that Bannock is quick!

OOC: Arnir is delaying so that Bannock can grab him.

 

[fromage67]

Lars feels a rising tide of panic overwhelm him. Arnir and Hrimr are just below, burning alive, and he is helpless.

He has an idea. That's it! He fumbles at his belt and palms something small.

He looks down and knows Bannock will fish Arnir out in a second, but Hrimr is further back. He holds a vial in his hand and tosses it to Hrimr. "Hrimr, drink it! Quickly! It will make you fly."

 

[Bannock]

After Kirio is pulled out, Bannock quickly re-extends his glaive the same way as before, and waits for the next person to grab hold before pulling them out.

 

[Gregor]

Torrent provides assistance to Bannock in much the same way as before. Her eyes widen at the sight of Kirio's burns and the clumps of rapidly cooling magma on his skin, but she focuses and heaves on Bannock's breastplate.

GM: Given Arnir's delay, we can assume that Bannock and Torrent pull him out with zero problem.
