[QUOTE="GrassyKnoll, post: 920636, member: 1720"] Going back to the minus rolls, I also have an amazing swin skill, I belive mine is in the region of -21...As for Balance, jesus..this is an exert from one of my [URL=http://www.geocities.com/grassyknoll53/home.htm]Journals[/URL] [i][b]"With the ground still slippery, we shuffle along slowly, until we arrive at a fork in the path, which we take the left most passage until it stops a hundred feet later at some steps. The steps are all slippery, and go downwards at a sharp angle before turning off into the darkness. Of course, as soon as I reach the top, I slip, crashing and clattering all the way down until I reach the bottom of the stairs, which I find to my delight are all in water. As I peer into the darkness, I see that the corridor slopes downwards into the clear water as far as I can see. I shout up to the others to let them know I am ok, and they start to descend the stairs. This involves clashing and clattering from a few party members, who fall and slide - though not as far as I, until Rallets lays a rope down to help the rest of the party. The rope is gratefully received by all, especially Snagger, who had seen my quick descent - beard first, arms flailing, and had decided to wait until last, and soon all of us are standing on the stairs peering into the water. Agador and LotD send their toads into the water to scout, and we find that the corridor continues in a straight line before it divides into a crossroads. Deciding to come back and check this area later, we head back up the stairs. This is quite easy for most of the party, but I manage all of 10 steps before slipping and crashing to the bottom again, and with my second attempt seeing me nearly reach the top, only to fall once more all the way to the bottom and back into the cold water, I start to become angry. I realise that I am in a far worse condition than I was fighting the Ropers, and ache all over from the battering the stairs have given me, but thankfully Beard flies down to gather me, and so we make the journey upwards together, flying over the cursed stairs. That is until he drops me just over half way up. Once I have finished moving downwards, and my head stops ringing, I remove my helmet and wipe the blood from my mouth, and then cast not one, but two spells of powerful healing to remove some of my bruises. LotD is next down to help me, and he passes me the levitation boots as he nimbly runs up the stairs. "[/b][/i] [/QUOTE]
