[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 8910138, member: 1282"] [I]Having assessed the petrified trunk for hand- and foot-holds to aid the climb, Pa’avu indicates to her master how they must make the ascent. But she warns him, too, of the thin plume of poisonous spores emanating from the once-living treant. “Here,” Chanvati whispers, as he tears strips of cloth from the bottom of one of his robes. “Wrap these around your nose and mouth to keep from inhaling their foul spirits.” Now, he stares up the trunk, daunted by its height. His spindly arms are evidence of his lack of routine exercise—slaves are for performing difficult physical tasks, after all—but at least he has nothing resembling the goliath’s bulk to haul up the tree. He centers the ki energy flowing through his body and begins to clamber up like a monkey behind his slave, Ibhea close behind.[/I] [HR][/HR] Chanvati will make a [B]Secondary Skill Heal[/B] check vs Easy DC 9 to ward himself and his companions against the dangerous plume spores of the Petrified Treant Lung Disease. Dunno if this is a single roll (in which case, use the first) or three; if an order of results is necessary in the case of 3 separate rolls, that order is Chanvati, Pa’avu, Ibhea: Roll(s) 14 +1 = 15 (C), 3 +1 = 4 (P), 2+1= 3 (I). At the very least, it looks like Chanvati will get a +2 bonus to his Fortitude defense against the spores’ attack should he fail the subsequent Athletics check. Then he is going to use his Encounter Power [B][I]Adept’s Insight (augmented)[/I][/B] (he, himself, though, is the sole recipient of its check bonus) to invoke an [B]Advantage[/B] and lower the DC for this Group Athletics check to climb the trunk from Moderate DC 13 to Easy DC 9. Chanvati Athletics Roll 6 -1 +4 (r3+1) = 9 vs Easy DC 9. Success. (Whew!) Pa’avu Athletics Roll +10 Trained Skill (climb = b[roll 2x]), so auto-success. Success. Ibhea Athletics Roll 10 +1 = 11 vs Easy DC 9. Success. Group Athletics Check 3/3 = Success. Looks like those Heal rolls weren’t necessary after all! (And it’s a good thing, too, if all three rolls were to be used!) Think I have all that correct, though there are many moving parts here, so if something needs adjustment, just let us know. [/QUOTE]
