UaVS-Yrtchull's Return...

[Uriel]

The body of the Grimlock holds little of note. A few teeth and other crude trinkets, a well fashioned steel battle Axe, Duergar in make, most likely.
He does have a small gold nugget <perhaps worth 20 GP> on a thong around his neck.

Nurin's Zombies move to the fore, as instructed and proceed down the corridor, which is descending quite steeply.

OoC:Follow them, I suppose, folks? The corridor is winding and about 6 feet wide at the biggest point, usually 4 or 5 feet at most places.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Yes we follow.

 

[matthewbajda]

yrtchull will go back and follow after he has signaled the rest of the party.

OOC: lead on, oh undead ones!

 

[Uriel]

Down the tunnel you go, with the two Undead in the lead, followed a short distance by Yrtchull, Nurin and urftuk. Behind are Cambrech and Vorath
<Since he hasn't chimed in, I put him in the rear, on the count of his ability to twart Flanking/Suprise>

Yrtchull and Nurin can see perhaps 20 feet at a go,as the tunnel has little in the way of straight corridors. With a grunt, the Zombies suddenly disappear...

...Yrtchull looks down into the pit, some 40 feet below, seeing one of the Zombies wriggling,it's body shattered and broken. Had one of the living been in front, they might have ended up the same.

There is a pit some 10 feet across in front of you. On the other side, the passage continues. It looks as if the 'pit' was the result of some seismic activity, and the chamber below looks as if it might open up onto a larger area itself as well...

<DC 10 Jump check to get across.As per the PH, you can't 'take 10' on something where danger/damage is involved.>

 

[rangerjohn]

Cambrech follows.

OOC:I'm here.

 

[Vendetta]

Vorath will climb up the wall. It is possible he is strong enough to carry someone along the wall if they don't think they can jump... but Vorath isn't that strong.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

What a waste. They had so much more death in them. I guess they served thier master well though. He says and tries to jump the pit.

 

[matthewbajda]

"better them than us though," yrtchull says with a wicked smile. "lets just make sure that we dont have any more of those pits show up now that they are gone. I'm going to head into the pit to make sure we won't be attacked from behind. i will be back in a second"

yrtchull will take 10 to get down into the pit and then investigate. [search, spot check and listen]

 

[rangerjohn]

Cambrech attempts to be an alert lookout, while his cousin is below.

 

[Uriel]

Vorath will climb up the wall. It is possible he is strong enough to carry someone along the wall if they don't think they can jump... but Vorath isn't that strong.

OoC:Vorath can hang onto the wall and lend a limb, helping 'toss' folks across. I'll let him aid another with his Str.
I will also assume that someone (Urftuk) has a rope attached to the jumpers...

Yrtchull leaps the pit, safely upon the other side and on alert, moving off just enough to allow the others across.

Cambrech leaps, feeling,even before he hits, that he had mistepped and was going to fall short. An insectile arm moved quickly and caught him, hurling him forward.
<Vorath's help just barely made the difference>

Nurin leaps,slipping on someloose rocks and falls, to bang against the wall of the pit soem 10 feet down <3HP>. Urftuk hauls him back up and scratches his head. Grinning, he throws the rope across, so that yrtchull can pull Nurin up if need be.Then, he would be on the far side of the Pit, at least...

Nurin's next attempt <Nat 20> is stellar, even allwing a showy flip in midair.
<with the requisite eyebrow wiggling and grin>

Teretha makes the jump safe;y, as does Urftuk, bringing up the rear.
