Larissa concentrates on her patrons. As her body begins to glow with the now-familiar radiance of her energy body ability, she moves to the edge of the pit and leaps in, aiming directly for the Lopper.
The dagger and the changeling missile weapon prove to be the Lopper's undoing.
3 down. 2 to go.
end of combat.
exp 500 each. (gave a little extra for the room setup).
and,
Larissa takes from the fall.
"Miss Brightfoot, are you alright?"
Castiel reaches to help Larissa up from the debris filled pool. When that is done he attempts to bandage his latest bleeding wound.
The wounds finally stop bleeding...
"Well, that's certainly one way to get down," says Alinya. "I myself shall try the rope." She gingerly lowers herself over the edge and starts to climb down, struggling for grip on the thin strand of rope.
She's able to get down there okay.
Castiel holds the bottom of the rope steady
right on.
Rholf gives thanks to Sarenrae with a brief prayer, and will descend the rope last.
Climb:
Rholf sees something move at the side of his vision and gets excited.....it's just a rock that fell in the water, but he loses his concentration and goes down hard.
ouch...
And.....it's Edwin's turn on the descent.
Castiel continues to hold the rope steady, wincing as Rholf loses his grip and comes crashing down.
Right on.......
I gotta crash at this point.
Rholf rises, wincing and laughing at the same time. "Note to self... Levitation... Boots, potions, something." Limping over to the group, the flames from his hair bob and jerk haphazardly with each stumbly lurch.
"Good idea," Alinya exclaims, covering a smile, "when we're rich."
Larissa, exhilarated that her stunt worked, is grinning ear to ear when Castiel helps her up. When he touches her elemental form, he feels a surge of energy and some of his wounds close.
As the glow fades , she laughs and says, "I feel great!" but as she regains humanoid form, it's clear that her wounds are bothering her more than they were a moment ago - maybe it's the adrenalin, maybe it's the elemental form.
She takes a deep breath and casts, touching the worst of the wounds from the bad landing. She's still grinning as the others work their way down, however.
Cure Light Wounds
Edwin winces in sympathy as Rholf plummets. Once assured that he's alright he takes his own grip on the rope.
"Note to self. Watch that first step." he says wryly.
Alinya produces the wand of cure light wounds with a flourish, and offers it to Rholf, handle first, as though presenting a mighty boon.
"This may help," she smiles.
"That was fun! Did I look like a comet, Castiel? A glowing avatar of Pharasma, striking him and driving him to the Boneyard where he belonged!"
She's all flushed and excited from her success, especially now that her wounds are nearly healed.
“You were rather fantastic,” says Castiel. “And thank you for the healing; I had forgotten you could do that – a most fortuitous ability the goddesses have granted you.” He politely doesn’t stare at her clawed fingernails as he bows slightly and lets go of her hand.
Once everyone is safely down and healed, Castiel pokes around in the murky water with his foot where The Lopper was filled, to see if the wraith left anything behind in the way that the Piper did.
"Good idea," Alinya exclaims, covering a smile, "when we're rich."
heh heh...

1d20+3
Edwin descends without incident; Castiel holds the rope pretty steadily, and gives a pointer here and there.
“You were rather fantastic,” says Castiel. “And thank you for the healing; I had forgotten you could do that – a most fortuitous ability the goddesses have granted you.” He politely doesn’t stare at her clawed fingernails as he bows slightly and lets go of her hand.
Seinfeld episode that never was....."She's got hag hands!!!" ;)

He finds a masterwork file. It gives +5 to open lock tries.

Castiel picks it up, shakes the water off it, then hands it to Edwin.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
"file this under evidence," nobody says.
Rholf gratefully takes the wand from Alinya. "Many thanks, Lady Gurov." he remarks, then 'pulls the trigger' once.
Healin' goodness:
"Ahhhh...." He sighs, straightening comfortably. "I will try to avoid costing us further resources unnecessarily." he chides himself as he hands the wand back to Alinya.
Edwin takes the file and tucks it into his an inside pocket of his jacket.
"Indeed Miss Brightfoot. That was a rather spectacular entrance. I am fairly certain that the spectre was NOT expecting that. Well done." Edwin adds with a polite half-bow.
She just grins and attempts to curtsy.
"Now what do we do?"
"Look around down here, I expect. Who brought the torches?"
heh heh...
"I have a lantern, but I don't need it. You are welcome to use it."
Suddenly, she looks around, then looks up at the hole in the ceiling. "I forgot! Did anyone happen to pick up my armored coat and bring it down here? I left it on the floor when I took it off..."
Damn you Nyquil!!!
zzzzzzzzzz
"Really, you can see in this darkness? How convenient! I, alas, cannot."
Oh; that were yesterday.
Wife's sick today, so I came home and had to wrangle the kids all night.
"Oh! Yeah - I guess I got my mother's eyes. That's what the professor said, anyway."
Castiel picks up his dropped sunrod and ticks it into his belt.
"Can anyone see any ways out of here beyond the obvious?" he asks, with a nod to the passageway.
Hello;
My wife's sick now, so I'll be chasing 3 kids around and taking care of her, and as such will probably post later in the evening for the weekend. So I'll see you guys later tonight!
"Well, it seems that perhaps Rholf should lead by virtue of his being such a bright young man." Edwin says straight-faced.
Larissa, slipping her armored coat back on, can't help but roll her eyes.
back on in a little bit....got a massive fight in the other thread to judicate.
