Urn Your Pay (Rae judging)

[serow]

Ter-raen moves to the northern door, again expecting trouble. Keep moving straight!

 

[Halford]

Fenenn pads up behind ter-raen with Erf just behind the pair of them shining the light of his flickering torch ahead.

"Oooh! It looks lke an everburning torch, well candle, if we can get that down it'll be dead handy! Anybody see a way to get at it?"

Erf looks around for the mechanism to lower the chandelier and attempts to access the height of the ceiling in feet.

[sblock=OOC]Erf gets 22 on spellcraft which I will presume is enough to identify a Continal Flame. If I am incorrect in my assumption or that number is not sufficient to identify it then I will edit accordingly. Didn't bother with the spot sinceErf makes it on a natural 1. Erf spellcraft (1d20+6=22) [/sblock]

 

[Trouvere]

"Och aye, Ah wis tay busy lookin' at aw th' doors. Weel, that's a fine wee bit ay magic. We can bring th' auld tables an' chairs fram th' painted room an' climb oan them tae reach, mebbe?"

OOC: north on the map is to the right. Straight ahead or north, eventually? I'm for north.

 

[serow]

[sblock=OOC]North is straight ahead, from Ter-raen's point of view
[/sblock]

 

[covaithe]

The ceiling is perhaps 14 feet high, and the candle about 12 feet from the floor. There is no obvious way to lower it; it appears to be attached directly to the ceiling by a length of brass chain.

[sblock=ooc]22 does exactly meet the DC of the spellcraft check in question according to RAW. I'm glad I looked that up, since by winging it I would have been inclined to require kn(arcana).[/sblock]

 

[Trouvere]

"Throw Erf up tae th' ceilin', sae as he can gresp it, an' Ah'll catch him oan th' way doon. Or ye can jes' stand oan a chair an' lift him up ower yer heid," Gildrim suggests to Ter-Raen.

 

[Halford]

Erf looks a little nervous at Gildrim's suggestion but says gamely,

"I'll take a crack at it hopefully it'll just pop out of the socket. Lets see Ter-raen ye look te be about six foot with mebbe three feet ye could hold me up over that. Then another two, two 'n a half feet from me 'n me reach I could probably get a bitte a finger hold if ye stand on yer tip toes n' either grab it or nudeg it out fer Gildrim te catch. A chair'd make it easier, but I'm not sure we can trust furniture left abandoned in a swamp fer so long what with the moisture n' such."

If Ter-raen and Gildrim agree Erf will step up onto Ter-raen's palms and with Ter-raen holding tightly to his feet attempt to use his precarious perch to snag the candle.

 

[Trouvere]

"Thaur's th' rope an' grappin' heuk again, or mah whip, tay," Gildrim says. "But Ah've a cravin' tae see th' famous tumblin' troupe in action."

Whatever is decided, while the others execute the plan, Gildrim keeps a wary eye on the doors.

 

[Halford]

OOC: I guess Gildrim could try to "disarm" it with his whip, it does afterall have 15ft. reach. I am going to suggest Erf carry it for the moment since he is the least useful with a weapon by some considerable margin!

 

[serow]

Ter-raen looks at the candle with a half-raised eyebrow. It's candle. Ter-raen knows what it is. It's hot and bright. But not sturdy. Will make a terrible torch. He is about to raise his objection when he realises that both Erf and Gildrim seem interested in it. He pauses for another moment to realise that maybe is magic? and shrugs his shoulders.

Ter-raen bends down to scoop Erf and to hoist him up.
