Sure just stand on the other side of the table, aboutut 5 feet away and just burn the skeleton!
Under a broken desk, Tamis spies something gleaming. It is a broken statue of a horse, about two feet tall, and of exquisite make. Made of bronze, it would surely be worth a good deal if it was not broken in three pieces, with the head and base laying under scraps of furniture.
Looks around to every one.
"Its a little big for my Mending spell as of now. But we can hold on to it for a bit im sure we can fix it later. I have a bag of holding we can put it in for now."
Wesley prepares to leave after the horse is stashed
Wesley does leave as no one seems to know what to do. He heads for the closest unexplored room on his riding dog.
Tamis skirts along the wall of the room , trying to stay as far away from the ants as possible. She looks around the room carefully, slowly inching towards the far hallway
[dice=Perception]1d20+11
"If you want to burn 'em with fire, be my guest." Tamis replies.
Tamis continued to head for the hallway, with Wesley right beside her. They almost made it.
Side by side, the two stepped towards the hallway opening. It was almost comical the way they looked at each other when the floor began to fall away beneath them.
Tamis feels the floor shift beneath her and tries to move out of the way.
bob runs to the pit trying to help them "look out"
"So I guess we'll be needing to double check for traps as we proceed."
Fortunatly for Tamis, Wesley, and the dog, the pit isn't lined with sharps spikes. The trio crashed to the floor, about twenty feet below, landing in a tangle of limbs, fur, and equipment. The fall bruised them up pretty bad, but no one died. Looking about, Tamis and Wesley can see that the sides of the pit are sheer and quite smooth. From above, the others watched as a 10' x 10' section of the floor folded in on itself with a loud clang. Tamis, Wesley, and his dog disappeared into a dark hole in the floor.
Tamis, Wesley, and the dog each take damage from the fall
Trihedron rushes to the border of the pit to make sure her sister and Wesley are safe, while keeping her eyes on the far end of the hallway, in case the noise attracted any attention.
"Well that stung..." Tamis moans, stretching out her sore body. Looking up at the sheer wall of the pit she shakes her head slightly Can't believe I missed seeing this.
Tamis reaches around and procures her wand of Cure light wounds from her bag, and touches herself, Wesley, and his dog.
"here I have a rope to help you up, but I'll need a hand holding it."
Bob gets his rope out and ready to go
Eva move to the edge of the pit to help them get out
"I'll hold the rope as I'm bigger and heavier then everyone else.
I might be able to haul them up."
Abrosh races to the edge of the pit
He immediately channels energy . What looks like a burst of flame rockets out from the gnome soothing everyone around
Trihedron offers her assistance to Eva in getting the others outside of the pit, but before she does, she addresses them - "What do you find in there? Any traces of former victims?"
Tamis feels Abroshqualmie's healing energy wash over her.
"My thanks."
Using the rope Tamis attempts to lift herself out of the pit.
"Search the pit before ascending sister" - Tamis requests - "We may find useful information or gear from previous explorations"
"Well thought sis. This is why you were the adventurer not me." Tamis responds.
Tamis and Wesley find no evidence that anything other than themselves had ever been in the pit. That suggested two things: either the pit was new nad they were the first to ever be caught, or the pit was regularly cleaned out by someone or something. Neither thought was very comforting.
Not finding anything. "It seems to be way too clean down here..." Tamis mentions
Tamis uses the rope to climb out of the pit, takes a deep breath, skirts along the pits edge and peers into the hallway.
"That was unpleasant--thank you for the healing. Can we make a rope sling and pull my dog out?"
Wesley opens his pack of many things. "I should pack a collapsible ladder next time."
Wesley annotates '30' collapsible ladder' neatly on a parchment. He looks at his huge stash of rope hoping the dog could be hauled out.
are you ok puppy?
Abrosh uses his daily use of speak w animals
Puzzled by the fact that the pit is almost empty, Trihedron assists her sister, Wesley and his dog getting out of the trapped hole, then joins Tamis in peering and listening along the hallway.
If nothing seems out of the ordinary, she nods again at her sister - "Let us move on, we will wait for your check" - but then adds with a smile - "If you'd rather I scouted with you, let me know Tamis"
"Looks like to proceed we need a good jump."
Looking at the impromptu obstacle before them, Trihedron comments to her companions - "I believe I can vault over this pit - perhaps I can carry a rope to the other side, and all can simply navigate it by descending on this end, and ascending on the other?"
Looking around the group in expectation, and without any forthcoming reply, Trihedron decides to take matters in her own hands. Checking her pack, and confirming the silk rope is in there, she takes a few steps back and jumps across the pit.
Landing gracefully on the other side of the pit, she immediately stands at the ready, watching if her actions have drawn any unwanted attention.
Seeing her sister charge the pit and jump to the other side gracefully Tamis immediately sets up, and rushes the pit attempting to clear it, though not nearly as cleanly as her elder sister.
Taking a breather as she just barely clears the pit, Tamis stands guard near her sister while they wait on the others to get across.
Abrosh moves to the edge of the pit, ready to cast as needed.
Once on the other side, and protected by her sister's presence, Trihedron urges her companions to cross over - "Let us move along friends. You can drop down the pit safely enought I believe - I and Tamis will assist with the climb on this end"
Eva uses a running start with her jump
Abrosh allows himself to be lowered and pulled out of the pit
Wesley hangs on as his dog leaves the opposite side of the pit.
Bob missing treys to chach him self and fails
Bob, not wishing the indignity of having to be lowered like cargo, takes a running leap. His feet slip as he pushed off, and hit hit the far wall of the hole. Hands scrabbling at the floor above, he wasn't able to catch himself and he fell back into the blackness.
As he lay on his back, he looked up to see a light descending towards him, and Abroshqualmie's smiling face grinning down at him as the gnome descended on his rope.
"That was risky Bob" - Trihedron says with half a smile, after confirming that her companion is ok - "Now lets get you up here, shall we?" - she adds, motioning for the rope.
The hallway you were all standing in ran north and south. The southern route continued into the darkness. To the north, the hallway opened into a largish room, whose doors were laying on the ground, knocked down by adventurer or monster or geographic event. Something major had certainly occurred here, as a trio of arrows were embedded in the doorjamb, and the jambs, floor, and walls around the area looked to be melted or distorted somehow. The foul smell that assaulted you when you first entered the dungeon came at you even stronger here, and seemed to emanate from the north.
Everyone needs to make me another DC 10 Fort save or all rolls are at a -2 penalty.
"Should we go Right or Left?"
"We've come to rescue someone. I vote we head towards where we have seen fighting. Doesn't seem like you come down here if you don't want to fight. So I'm in favour of going left(North)." Tamis responds, steeling herself against the smell.
Almost wretching from the disgusting smell, Trihedron agrees with her sister after recovering somewhat - "You are right Tamis, will you go ahead and check the room?"
Still she tries to maintain her senses alert.
