[QUOTE="Binks, post: 6838399, member: 6775039"] I'm looking, listening, and smelling the surroundigs very attentively. What is the topography beneath the mists or what is it most likely given what I'm able to discern? What is the humanoid carpenter murmuring and is it the satyr? Any creatures lurking within the mists? [sblock]Discern Realities (Wis) 1, 4 +3 (+1 Lucky, +1 Aid) = 10 * What should I be on the lookout for? * What here is useful or valuable to me? * What here is not what it appears to be?[/sblock] I fill Otthor in on what Lucky and I have discovered. I lean in close and whisper. "We have to navigate these forty feet to the peat bed." I look down at the forty to fifty feet from the reed swamp to the end of this rope. "We're going to need to tie another length of rope to this to get back out of here." I retrieve the necessary length to create a knotted line to tether to this that will be reachable from the bottom of the swamp. When it hits water, I pull it up several feet. "About fifty feet," I say. [sblock]Spending the 1 AG for this.[/sblock] Once that is done, I'm going to pull out Covenant of Winter. Remember when I pulled an "Iceman" during the fight with Piscaethces? There is obviously a lot of water vapor in the air. Is that feasible here? Freezing it momentarily to create a slide for us to get to the peat bed? Sounds good. I say to Otthor "...get ready" and I pantomime a wavy chute with my arm and leaping from our perches on the rope seats. I convey the same to Lucky with a subtle low growl and whine. I hold the staff out before me and quietly invoke Old Man Winter. [sblock]Winter's Covenent (Con) 5, 2 +1 = 8 The effect comes to pass, but you pay nature's price. Defy Danger (Dex) 2, 5 +3 (take -1) = 9 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice.[/sblock] When the chute appears, Lucky leads the way with a leap onto it. I quickly grab the rope with my free hand and use the pinky and ring finger of the hand that holds CoW and do the same. My "earthen hand" is completely awkward and it throws me a bit off balance as I swing free from my seat onto the fast-fading ice-slide. [/QUOTE]
