No damage to the Half-Elf

I am having trouble copying and pasting some text that I have for this module in another thread. I am going to see if I can do it from another computer

No damage to the Half-Elf

I could of sworn that you said that the spiders dealt some HP and STR damage to me, but they must of went after someone else. Who were did they, if it wasn't me? Or did Orgrim kill the first, like what Welby said. I've been offline for a few days because of the blackout, so they're are probably a lot of things I missed lol

Also, would it be alright if I go back and delete the incorrect post saying that Lyra was damaged, or would that be immersion breaking? and if so, I don't seem to see any option on the post allowing me to delete or edit it, so I think you'd have to do it, as you run the thread. Would you mind if you go back, and get rid of the post where I said that Lyra was hit by the swarm? For me, it kinda ruins the immersion too much to ignore it.

I'm sorry if I'm inconveniencing you with all this; this is my first time doing a PbP game, and I'm still getting used to the format used here.

That should be enough to get rid of the swarm before it gets to the rogue.

Actually, Lyra, the spider swarm didn't manage to get to you. Ogirim's and your alchemical fire took care of it. Sorry to hear about the blackout.

You seem shaken, my lady, Welby says to Lyra. Did the sight of the spiders disturb you as much as it did me?

Oh really? huh, my bad. I had sworn that the DMed posted saying that the spiders had reached me, and dealt some HP and strength damage to me. I guess Orgrim killed them first lol.

Lyra nods back at the Halfling, and hops back up onto her feet as if nothing had happened. It turns out that her cuts were unrelated to the spiders, and were gain from branches she had cut her legs on her way here. She had thought the spiders we're the cause of her injuries, but it turns out, they had nothing to do with it. She smiles at Welby

"Eh, it's fine. Just a little shaken. And no need to call me M'lady; I'm no noblewoman!"

She lets out a slight chuckled as she brushes some dust off of her sleeves "Anyway, you alright too, Welby? You seemed pretty scared during the fight"

You saw correctly. I think the DM missed Ogirim's readied action and the forums don't allow edits after a certain period of time. No big deal and glad you're uninjured. :)

"Y-yes. I haven't been in many f-fights, and those spiders looked quite menacing. I could imagine them getting into my clothes and bag. If they laid their eggs, I wouldn't be able to get rid of them for months," Welby says, wishing he was in his home having a hot cup of tea and a slice of apple pie.

No worries Lyra, Paizo was wobby last night anyway. Couldn´t do anything.

Mavyn brushes her hands over her clothes to get any bugs off her, then follows along after Janira.

You can only edit a post for the first hour on this board, because editing action after the fact can result in worse confusion if some people don't see the edits. Adjustments like removing your damage in this instance are very common in Pbp due to the asynchronous nature of the medium.

Orgrim smiles at his companion's conversation "Fear not my friends, Ragathiel is with us. Mere spiders would not be enough to harm us"

Yea don't worry about not being edit previous posts Lyra. And welcome to pbp!

The dense forest opens to a wide clearing at the base of a sheer cliff. Thick vines cover the surface of the cliff stretching 30 feet overhead.
"Here! The cave entrance is behind those vines ," Janira says with a broad smile as she walks to the cliff’s face.
She pulls back several layers of vegetation to reveal a narrow crack in the cliff’s surface.
"This is where I saw the gillman enter."
As she motions toward the aperture, the surrounding woods come alive with the sound of small animals fleeing some unseen danger and a large creature crashing through the undergrowth.
The halfling worriedly remarks, "Quick, take cover before whatever it is spots us!"

As if she’d summoned the creature with her words, a massive horned monstrosity emerges from the trees. Standing eight feet tall on a pair of cloven hooves and wielding a tremendous axe, the bull-headed creature roars with unbridled anger when it spots the group.

Wisely assessing that a minotaur is beyond her charges’ capabilities, Janira screams, "A minotaur! There’s little chance we can stand against it.
Take this bag ," she continues, pulling off her backpack, "and head deeper into the caves. Finish your mission. I’ll lead it away from the caves, lose it in the forest, and join you as soon as I can. Now go! GO!"

What to do
Follow Janira's directions, and head into the cave <--- <_< ..or.. >_> ---> Fight the minotaur!

She heaves her backpack into the cave, casts a spell, and darts off toward the minotaur before turning to lure it away.

My home computer didnt let me copy and paste but my work computer did, lol

Looking at the minotaur the grippli quickly draws a dagger... but then stops."Is she the leader. Have we to follow leader! Go, go." And with that he hops into the cave and takes her backpack.

Mavyn draws out a bomb, then sighs and stows it again as she enters the cave. "Glok is right. We must follow her orders."

"Awe man, it's a Minotaur! I can't believe it I'm actually seeing a Minotaur!" Lyra looks like she's more in awe than in fear as the horned beast charges out of the forest towards Janira.

She had read much about these horned monstrosities during her readings and travels, and the Rogue was ecstatic to finally witness one with her own two eyes, but it took her a while to realize how much danger the beast truly was. Realizing that her life and those of her companions were truly in danger after only ten seconds of staring wondrously at the monstrous beast, she shook her head, and came back to her senses.

"C'mon! You heard Janiras orders."b] She shouted towards her companions as she points towards the cave. [b]"You wanna end up as that things next meal. or what? Into the cave!" Without a moments hesitation, she dashes towards the cave as fast as she can

Roldala gnashes her teeth, but follows her group into the caves.

Drake turns and stares at the minotaur, only to be grabbed by Welby.

"No, it's not like the bull you met in the field the other time! You can't beat him, you silly duck. Let's head into the cave!" Welby said, following the others.

Drake snorted and waddled into the cave with the rest... one day.

Entering the caves, you see the minotaur chasing after Janira through the trees, fighting its way through the dense undergrowth. Soon the cacophony of the chase fades and the sounds of the forest slowly return to normal. The caves are damp, and water drips from stalactites.
After a short while...
The narrow tunnel twists and turns for several hundred feet before slowly opening to a wider passage.
A large hole spans the cave’s width and stretches ten feet down the path. At the bottom of the pit lies a small bundle of cloth

Thinking unhappily about the swarms, Roldala snatches up a flask of Alchemist's fire before stumping off down the hallway.

You coming?

You will need to get past the whole in the ground. It is 20' down and 10' across. At the bottom are spikey spikes.

Those spikes look nasty Welby says. Does anyone have any rope?

Are the spikes so close together that they might inflict damage when moving amongst them?

After setting down her massive backpack onto the ground, and rummaging through it for a few moments, Lyra pulls out a long rope made of hemp fiber, and a metal grappling hook. She ties the rope onto the hook, and stands up towards her companions.

"I've got some rope and a grapplings hook we could use to get across, but personally, I'm not a very good climber, and the bundle of cloth at the bottom looks like it might be worth an investigation. She holds up the rope, and looks around at her companions.

"Are there any good climbers here that could use this rope to climb down and out of the pit, grab the bundle at the bottom, and use the rope to ferry the rest of us across?"

Lyra doesn't have a very good Climb score, so I'd like someone who's trained in to ferry us across

Looking at Roldala Froglok speaks."Am not I a good climber. Does Roldala look strong, she could climb down?"

Orgrim is torn between aiding Janira and following her orders. After a brief moment of indecision, he reasons that Janira would be better able to lose the minotaur on her own and follows the rest of the party into the cave.

Within the cave, Orgrim rummages through Janira's backpack and takes out the wand of cure light wounds. "This might come in handy. Let me know if anyone else might need healing"

Upon reaching the pit, Orgrim watches as Lyra prepares her rope and grappling hook and hands her more rope from his backpack "I'll go. Here's some extra rope if you need it."

climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17

Roldala grunts and leaps across the pit, narrowly sticking her landing.
Toss the rope up Orgrim. I'll hold it taut.
Acrobatics: 1d20 - 1 ⇒ (13) - 1 = 12

Mavyn waits, stonefaced, while the others negotiate the pit.

Maybe it didnt come out very clear. The pit is 10' across and 20' down. If you were to fall on the spikey spikes they would hurt. However, going down is not the only way to traverse this obstacle.

As in the tunnel continues after the pit? Are the edges of the pit exactly at the wall? Is the cloth big enough to have fit over the pit, like used to conceal it?

"Why would someone leave a cloth like that at the bottom of the pit? Was it meant to be a trap? Welby says. He looks around, suspicious that there's someone ready to attack the group, and tries to get a better look at the cloth.

Perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (12) + 2 = 14

Drake swings its head around, expecting something to jump out of the shadows.

Drake Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (18) + 4 = 22

Lyra notices the many spikes at the bottom of the pit, and begins to worry that they could harm those who step on them, such as Orgrim. Shrugging, the Half-Elf desides that it be best for her to ignore the bundle in the pit, and just cross the pit entirely. Lyra quickly tosses the rope down next to Orgrim, while holding the grappling hook in her right hand.

"Here's the rope in case you need to climb out, Orgrim." Lyra shouts down to the half-orc. "Try not to spend too much time down there, though. I think those spikes could really mess you up. Just grab the bundle if you can do so without stepping onto too many spikes. I'll try to jump across the pit and help Roldala ferry the others across it by grooving the hook into place from the other side."

With that, Lyra steps back around ten feet, and dashes across the pit, trying to jump across to the other side.

Acrobatics (Long Jump w/ Running Start): 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (8) + 6 = 14

She deftly lands on both of her feet on the other side. She then sets the grappling hook into place on a groove on the side of the pit, and holds onto the rope with both hands as Orgrim picks it up.

Let me know if I'm somehow screwing this up for everyone by jumping across. In the past, I've made stupid decisions when using rope and crossing pits in PFS, and I wanna make sure I'm doing this right ^^

If you have a climb speed, do I need a climb check?

You do, but you gain a +8 bonus to the check and can take-10 even in combat

Glok will take 10 to climb down the rope after Ogrim and checks the bundle.
You did check the pit?" he asks the half-orc.

The rogue deftly jumps across the pit.

What to do now?

The frogman is able to crawly down into the pit and picks up the bundle, it looks like a cloak.

The Halfling and the duck see nothing.

Acrobatics (Long Jump w/running start): 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Goldenshrike follows Lyra's example and leaps across the pit. She lands with a brief glide on her wings.

"Aha! Reiji-sensei would be proud of Goldenshrike for such a feat."

Perception: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (1) + 8 = 9

Rather enamored with her own surprising prowess, she pays little attention to the surroundings.

Assuming Ogrim and Lyra have secured a rope over the pit

Welby stares in awe at Goldenshrike and Lyra's acrobatics. He stares at the rope over the pit and breaks into a sweat.

"I-I guess it be my turn to c-cross," he says. He carefully gets on all fours and crawls over the gap using the rope. He apologises to everyone for taking so long.

Acrobatics or other applicable dice roll: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (2) + 5 = 7
Uh oh..

If he falls in:

If he somehow, incredibly, makes it:

perception: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6

Orgrim nods Glok "Yes, only the cloak is here...besides all the spikes. Now let's get out of here"

He uses the grappling hook attached to his rope and slings it out of the pit to the others who have jumped across. Once they have secured it, Orgrim climbs out carefully.

climb: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (18) + 3 = 21

"Welby, you alright?" Lyra gasps as he falls into the pit. "I threw a rope down into the pit earlier. You think you could use it to climb out?" She points to the grappling hook latched onto the side of the pit, and throws the rope towards Welby.

Do we have a rope or something across the gap? I'm not exactly clear. Just for the heck of it...

Mavyn collects her skirts and daintily leaps across the chasm.

acrobatics (jump): 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (9) + 3 = 12

Taking his time Glok climbs the other side up."Did make it. Was it not hard!" Feeling quite smug about it he inspects the cloak with detect magic.

It looks like the rope, from my understanding is hanging down into the pit

The Halfling, looses his grip on the rope and falls into the pit and onto the spikey spikes
2d6 ⇒ (6, 3) = 9 fall and pokey damage

Glok Spellfcraft Roll please

Those on the other side do not see much where they are at.

Am at exactly 0 hp, so am disabled.

Welby plummets to the bottom of the pit and is pierced by spikes. Drake shakes its head with a "knew that would happen" look.

I..I suppose I could use that wand now... and some help to get out of the pit Welby says.

If Welby is healed, he'll try to climb out again using the rope to Lyra's side. He'll take 10 iF able.

Welby makes a little noise Waa waaa waaaaa as the Halfling falls, :)

Quaackkkkkkkk Drake thinks, wondering why he had to be lifelinked to THIS individual, of everyone in Golarion... The eidolon lets out a sigh.

LOL

As Welby falls onto the spikes below, a faint splat noise could be heard coming from the bottom of the pit.

"Uh oh, I think Welby's in trouble." Lyra says after she realizes that Welby wasn't climbing onto the rope. could someone climb down my rope, and help out the halfling?"

Lyra lets out a small silent sigh Well, that certainly didn't go according to plan...

Not sure if this is okay, but will go with it so as not to slow everyone down.
Shaking his head, Drake grabs the rope with his beak and tosses the rope down.

"Tie it around me? Are you sure this will work?" Welby says.

Once Welby has tied the rope, Drake yanks the halfling up.

PULL: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
The halfling yells as he is lifted up...

If that works

As the halfing tumbles down the pit, Orgrim sighs and is just about to go down after Welby when to his amazement, he sees Welby's duck toss rope down to the halfing AND PULL THE HALFLING OUT.

"Wha..? How did...? Did it just...?" The normally eloquent Orgrim can only sputter in amazement and disbelief at the duck as Welby patches himself up

Glok can´t identify it, he has no Spellcraft, but he can say if it sparkels!
Glok looks stupified at the halfling and then croaks a bit."Have you to learn to climb one day! Want you teach Glok to?"

Roldala scowls and turns to the duck, Keep him in line. We're working here!

The cloak does sparkle with the detect magic.

Orgrim grunts "We can keep it with us first until someone else is better able to identify it. However, let us not dally here. Lady Janira could be in danger even as we speak"

"Yes, let's hurry onwards. I can mend the cloak if it's torn," Welby says, hope there are no more spiky pits ahead.

Use Wand of Cure Light Wounds: 1d8 + 3 ⇒ (2) + 3 = 5
