Himnon interrupts the conversation to say, "When you're all ready to cross, give the word, and I'll do my best to help, and I believe that Shyness will too. There's not much that could go wrong here." (Famous last words)

"I remember saying the same thing once...right before a huge disaster," the paladin mutters to himself, staring doubtfully at the broom.

Glad to hear everyone's doing great, but ehhm, well does anybody carry a torch around here? I'm really not looking forward to being stuck back here by myself. Drazhu won't be happy with me turning on him like that and I don't intend to be around when he finds out. She looks distinctly worried, mortified even. She hadn't acknowledged this fact mentally until she said it out loud.

Kara looks at Amaranth askance. "Eh? Do you need a torch, as, like, a food source or something? I think I found one..."

Kara goes back to the crate of adventuring supplies and takes out a torch and lights it with some flint and steel. She holds it aloft. "How's this?"

Our heroes make their way to the chasm. Looking down the way there is something spread across the chasm. Looking down you see a mist that obscures view about 50 feet down. Looking across the chasm it appears to be about 50 feet across.

What do you?

Kara gets some rope out of her worn-out pack.
-1 use
She hands it to Sora. "Shall we?"

I just KNOW Shy's dragging Cuddles along, I know it. Who has Cuddles' sword, by the way? Someone's gotta have it.

Sora approaches the chasm, and takes a look down. The height doesn't bother her, but the mist...she doesn't feel like that should be there. It's hiding something.

She takes the rope from Kara, and nods. "Let's get this done." She takes off up into the air, watching the mists for trouble, and looking for a good place to tie the rope. When she's done looking, she heads for the other side of the chasm.

DR, +Eye in the Sky: 2d6 ⇒ (3, 2) = 5
Geez, my dice. I'll have to take Ever Watchful at some point. Guess I'll just have to take my IGABFAT questions. Is there a trap or ambush here, and if so, where? What can I see that no one else can?
I should probably roll Take To The Sky, actually.

TttS: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 = 9
The winds are uncooperative, and you don't get there as quickly as you'd expect.

Last we looked in, Shy still had the sword. Is the armor following?

You just don't actually have it noted down is all. I'd doubt Cuddles is following, considering what they were doing before.

Ysolde sends Antares out, to hover above the chasm. his light illuminates the area, giving Sora a more clear view of the area. he is also ready to transform into arrow form at a moments notice, to strike down any attackers aid another: Sora's TTtS: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 4) + 2 = 8

"I could climb down... or up... but a lack of surfaces makes things difficult from a walking from A to B perspective. I've been working on some tricks with ropes, but I- Oh, okay. You can just fly." Nathan scratches his scruff. "I'll just watch from a safe distance and keep folks from falling in."

Amaranth rushes to the torch, touches the flame and flows up into it, Kara has a living torch, but it might be too heavy for her. Amaranth will be able to sit on the torch for however long it burns. Thanks Kara, that's great. Now if anyone can carry/throw this across the chasm I'll be fine.

Sora flies across holding the rope, making it easily enough, thanks to the light.

luckily there was nothing to see in the cavern, so you get away without a penalty

"Let's do this, then. No telling when more of Drazhu's goons might find us." so saying, Reno approaches their end of the tied-off rope and tugs on it. Calling across to Sora, he asks, "It's firmly tied off? Confirmed?" Assuming it is, he will grab hold of the rope and hang down below it, making sure to loop his legs up and over the rope as he does so. Carefully but with as much haste as he could muster, he climbs across the chasm.

Ties across? That's just the right level of confusing wording to make me wonder if you meant flies across or if I've tied the rope.

flies obviously. after all that was the move you used.and ties across means nothing. :) Lots of phone posting for me folks while I am working overseas, so there are going to be lots of typos. Sorry

"Not yet!" Sora finds a secure place to tie the rope, and ties it on there.

Do I need a roll for this?: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 5) + 2 = 9

nope no roll needed. but i admire our gumption!

Muttering something about people being afraid of magic, Himnon follows across the rope as soon as Reno gets to the other side.

seems like a defy danger is needed to climb across. Whether it's str to climb or dex to walk it or whatever else you think of.

DD Strength!: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 2 = 7

Defy Danger Dexterity: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (3, 2) + 1 = 6

Himnon starts feeling a bit insecure on the rope.

"I knew we should have used magic!"

MiniGM: Is the armor following?

gonna give folks time to aid

Interestingnly enough Cuddles is following.

Whoever has the sword notices that it alternates between glowing brightly and shining like a mirror

Aid Himnon: 2d6 ⇒ (6, 4) = 10

Reno hadn't had time to form a bond with Himnon yet, but the paladin couldn't just let the mage fall. With a grunt, Reno catches the mage by the wrist with both hands, keeping him from falling and lifting him back up to the rope as best he can, groaning and straining from the effort.

Anyone want the sword as a weapon?

If not, Shy will carry it. What are the stats, especially weight?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

"C'mon Ys, it'll be just like outside, only different. Shyness hops on her broom and nudges the armor onto it.

Broomstick: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (5, 3) + 1 = 9
• The broom misbehaves, and it takes a while to get where you want
• Your landing is better described as a crash

"See, told you, just like outside," Shyness giggles, calling out from the other side. "Still willing?"

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Broomstick:Back over: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (4, 6) + 1 = 11
• The broom misbehaves, and it takes a while to get where you want

Broomstick:Ysolde: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 5) + 1 = 8
• The broom misbehaves, and it takes a while to get where you want
• Your landing is better described as a crash

When Nathan is left alone, holding the end of the rope, he wraps the loose end around one arm and swings across.
Defy Danger(STR: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 6) + 2 = 14

Ysolde gets on the broom the first time shy offers. Thus negating the second two rides I trust you Shy, you're good on a broom while they take off, she coaches Shy (not because she is incompetent, the girl is more powerful than most elder members of the church, but because she lacks confidence) It's gonna be okay, just lift off gentle, take your time, we're in no rush. and keep steady here, no big flashy descent, just slow and steady she goes on like this, rubbing her shoulders to calm her. Feel free to correct me if I contradicted anything about your character with this whole calming routine, not sure exactly what would help Shy, so I took a shot in the dark

aid another, Shy: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (6, 1) + 1 = 8

It was for the armor. All good on the characterization.

magic sword so a spout lore is needed but it is precise

Spout Lore: Sword: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 5) + 2 = 10

Sword still needs weight and range tags. I'm guessing close, 1 or 2 weight, unless there's something I'm unaware of about it that would change that.

I'll give them when I get back to a computer. It's a magic sword so I don't knowing hand

Close is the typical range for a sword or anything around that size, as I recall. Both a long sword and a short sword have that range. The short is 1 weight, long is 2 weight with +1 damage. I'm assuming here that nothing would boost the range.

you might be right. However, I don't want to give wrong info. Deciding who wanted to use it all that matters is precise. Like I said once I get back to a computer I'll give the stats

Looks like everyone makes it across

sorry guys been a couple of REALLY long days, and im exhausted, so I am kind of doing a less exciting post here, just moving us along

Between the flying back and forth, and the crawling across the rope everyone makes it, there is one almost disaster but Reno proves his heroicness with a last second grab.

Everyone is across but Cuddles. Cuddles stands there looking unsure.

What do you do?

Pretty sure Shy took Cuddles across on her broomstick.

I was hoping, not sure if that was possible.

ah, i missed that, i had in my mind you nudged it out of the way...which makes no sense.

IN THE PAST

Shyness gestures for Cuddles to get on the broom, it looks at it, then at her, then at it and holds its hands on its belly and leans back...it Cuddles laughing?

How do you get it to ride the broom?

Past sequence:

Shyness goes behind Cuddles, puts the broomstick between the legs of the armor(much to Nathan's delight for the visual), and wraps a tiny arm around the armor's waist after getting on herself. "This'll just take a second, I'm sure."

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Broomstick: 9 = 9

• The broom misbehaves, and it takes a while to get where you want
• Your landing is better described as a crash

"See, told you, just like outside," Shyness giggles, calling out from the other side. "Still willing?"

As a note, I think Ys aided that 9 up to a 10 - she definitely aided Shy, and it makes no sense for any of the other rolls.

"That's what he said!"

Cuddles shakes his head. Points to the gap then him and then to a rock then tosses the rock over the edge

"I could tie her to the end of the rope..."

"Or to the broom..." Shyness taps her chin in thought.

"I believe that would require a second rope. Not that there's any shortage of supplies. My buddy Himnon could turn her into dragon armor. That's how magic works, right Himnon?"

When Nathan speaks about transforming Cuddles he/she shakes his head vigorously...can armor be scared?

Man, poor thing. Must be terrified at all the things everyone is throwing about. For a strange moment, considering that they tried to mutilate her not long ago, Sora empathises with Cuddles. This has to seem some combination of non-sensical, utterly brainless, and generally ill advised to her.

Right. How...maybe. "Guys?" Sora speaks up. "Could we rig up a rope harness for Cuddles? After that, we could tie them to me, Shy, and the broom. I'd go overhead to help support the load, and Shy can take her and Cuddles on the broom. Sound alright?"

Where about during the process is this going on? Has Shy already made a trip? In Ys's aid post, it sounds like she co-opted the first ride, looking again.
