The Romance of the River Kingdoms

[Walking Dad]

Growling Ape, AC 15 (T15, FF13), HP 25/25, F +4,R+2,W+5

"I'm ready. May the ebb clear the path under the primal moon." Ape responds, holding fast on the relief.

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC Rolling Man: You are correct about Xielt's hp - he's in no immediate danger of dying. Best to save the cure spells for Health damage. Also, I believe Three Flower picked up the sunrod but you could take it from him and move closer to the moon disc - he's standing a careful 10 ft. away from it.

Back IC:

The closer the sunrod gets to the moon disc, the brighter the moon disc glows, although never as bright as the sunrod.

OOC again:
Waiting to see if Xielt tries to pull the ring...

 

[Redclaw]

Hoping everyone is ready for whatever the result is, and driven on by his feline curiosity, Xielt reaches down with both hands, after replacing his claw-stick in his belt, and grasps the ring. He pulls with every bit of his strength, arching his back and driving his legs into the rock beneath him.

[sblock=ooc] strength check +2, if needed. [/sblock]

 

[Dr Simon]

Xielt heaves with all his might on the metal ring. He feels a slab beneath him shift slightly and a few small bubbles rise to the surface with a gulping sound. But truth of the matter is, the weight of the thing is too much for the muscular tlaxu to hold by himself and he is soon forced to release his hold. He has shown, however, that the ring *does* seem to operate a trapdoor of sorts.

 

[Blackrat]

Three Flowers hands the sunrod to Jar'Thol and moves to help Xielt when he sees that the tlaxu had to give up his attempt. "Together?"

 

[Shayuri]

"Wait," Annika calls, alarmed. She looks around.

"Does anyone have rope? We could tie it around you...and all of us not pulling could hold onto it..."

 

[Blackrat]

Three Flowers stops and thinks for a while on Annika's words. "A good idea actually. But if any of us carries rope it would be even more efficient to tie it to the ring and we could all pull from safe distance."

Jar'Thol, Salsham'ai shaman

"It doesn't seems like much more then a reflextive disk." says Jar'thol to his companions. He wades in the water once more, this time toward the crack on the north wall. He simply wonders if there's more to this then a simple entry point for the water. He also closely watches the activity of Xielt and Three Flowers, ready to hold on to something if the water suddenly drains.

OOC : Salsham'ai need no ropes.

 

[Dr Simon]

OOC: I think Xielt has some rope, waiting to see what happens there. In the meantime:

Jar'Thol inspects the crack in the north wall. It is thin fracture in the stone wall, about the wifht of his little finger at its widest point (near the top). The ceiling bows down slightly above it, and the wall bulges inwards a little. The water has the smell of river water, and where it has flowed so algae has grown in the wetness. It looks, simply, like a bit of structural failing.

 

[Redclaw]

OOC: What do you know, he does have rope. Thanks Doc.

Xielt takes a coil of rope from his pack and offers it to three flowers. Let's get this tied to the ring, and see what we can do.
