The Last Gods - In Game - The Candlelight Avengers

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Kori is touched by her friends' willingness to help her, and smiles at each in turn, gratitude evident in her gaze. She looks at the chains a bit doubtfully, but nods. "I'm not terribly strong, but with all of us together," she says and gets ready to pull at Jharvym's signal.

We could tie Jharvym's rope to one stirrup of Lord Turin's steed, pass it through the rings then tie it to the other stirrup. Then three of us take hold to each side of the rope and haul with the assistance of the mighty galloper. This leaves Jharvym free to defend us from ambush. What do you think?

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Azrim listens to his friends plans with a distracted air, all the while his gaze shifts from the large eye of the Beholder to the gap in the pathway "Hmm by my calculations once we begin to descend down the gap we should be out of sight of the Beholders magic negating gaze" gazing around Azrim sees that some of his companions have rope "My thesis can be tested quite simply, tie the rope around me and lower me down the gap, if my magic re-initializes I would be able to use my boots of levitation to help lower the rest of you to the ground and then back up the other side"

 

[ringojim]

It certainly sounds worth a try Azrim, where can we anchor a rope?

The rings catch what little light remains of the day.

 

[Rystil Arden]

"That sounds like a good idea, Azrim, but if there is an ambush, we are likely to be more vulnerable climbing than walking. Let's try the rings first and then if that doesn't work, we'll definitely go for the rope hypothesis."

*Jharvym waits for six people to pull on the rings, or five people and Turin's horse, and then he gives the signal, still readied as before. He stands near Kori to try to protect her.*

 

[Ferrix]

Lord Turin grasps a steel ring his gauntleted hand, prepared to pull with all his mettle and resolve.

 

[Lord_Raven88]

Azrim moves over to help the others pull on the chains

 

[ringojim]

Athear grabs a ring and braces, ready to go.
come on, lets get into it

 

[D20Dazza]

You all heave on the rings in your hands at the same time and hear a series of gears grind to life below your feet. Looking over the edge you see the bridge slowly rising from the canyon floor far below.

But, that's not the only change in your environment. Another eye, this one smaller and attached to a stalk, snakes out from behind the beholder and blasts where you stand with a ray, just as the central eye winks shut. You feel a lurch and then a slam as you fall to the ground momentarily dazed and blinded. Well, not exactly blinded but everything is out of focus, as if you're looking out of someone elses eyes.
