Rhasuel is exhausted physically, and magically mentally, but his spirits soar. I survived! Wow! He hadn't felt this young in decades! He helps the good doctor with a smile and a spring in his step.

can't access the map at this moment, but if I can 5' step into a flank I will.
attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5) + 2 + 1 = 8
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (7) + 3 + 1 = 11

Rhasuel stabs again to no effect.

Everyone remember that, at the time of the AoO, the plant is still prone, so all melee attacks against it are at +4
Rhasuel takes this opportunity to poke the plant!
AoO vs prone, inspired: 1d20 + 2 + 4 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 2 + 4 + 1 = 11
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

Holy crap. I just realized that I have rope. I'll be getting that out next round. :)

Sure. Let's give it a go.

Instead of trying to climb again, Rhasiel walks over to fran and helps her up. C'mon. Up we go!
cure light: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 1 = 4

Unless we get a savior gulch soon I say we take a step back and burn it with fire

Ya. This is surprisingly rough.

climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 2 = 4
Gravity is a cruel mistress, and she has a firm grip on the old man.

climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (5) + 2 = 7
Rhasuel continues to stay firmly at the bottom of the pit in spite of his best efforts.

Rhasuel moves to the wall outside tree things reach, if there is such a place, and starts climbing.
climb: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (9) + 2 = 11
But he can't find a good hold.

As far as I know you can try any skill untrained if the DC is 10 or less. 11+ and it requires training unless the skill says otherwise. However, I can't quote you a source.

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 14
Rhasuel starts to agree with Wormling, but shakes his head. No! We must press on! To battle, my friends! he cries and magic pulses in the air again.

Inspire Courage is back up.

Rhasuel slides into the pit and hits Gulch with some nice positive energy.

acrobatics: 1d20 ⇒ 10
fall damage: 2d6 - 2 ⇒ (3, 4) - 2 = 5
HP 4/9
healing on gulch: 1d8 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 1 = 9

It is a much tougher landing that he expected and he nearly knocks himself out upon landing, but he manages to get to Gulch and give him a chance to end this thing.

I will probably be dropping down as well

I have cute light as well.

will: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8

Rhasuel, for all his bravado, is taken aback by so many horrors at once. Unlike the young ones he practically has a library of fears to draw on.

Still, he roars in defiance, Come and get me, boyo!
Activate Inspire Courage

Not particularly. Most of my friends are ghosts now. He says. All it means is were on the right track.

climb up: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (16) + 2 = 18
climb down: 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10

Agreed.

Rhasuel looks indignant and slaps the kid upside the back of his head when he gets close. What do you think you're doing? You're getting your demon-loving tail up this mountain or when I get down I'll hunt you down as tell all your best friends how an old man with one foot in the grave not only out paced you, but completed the mission without you as you ran down the mountain crying like a six year old!

Rhasuel holds his nose. Did someone just vomit? No? Stupid hill. Let's get this over with!

Rhasuel readily accepts an Eye of Gorum. He's going to need help not getting hit,
but refuses the ointment. Someone else can use that. I'll be fine. He says.

The wind whispers to him things he already knows. Why else would a man of his age be doing the work better suited to men 1/5 his age? In spite of the wind he trudges on at the back of the group and is thankful that they cannot see the slight grimaces that arise from his protesting joints.

I'm here! Sorry.

Rhasuel takes up his position near the back to better use his spear.

Rhasuel maintains his panicked inspiration. He steps up and stabs at the plant with is longspear.

attack!: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (1) + 3 = 4
damage: 1d8 + 4 ⇒ (6) + 4 = 10

Rhasuel strikes the ground with his spear.
A nasty plant! Kill it! With fire, preferably!

Rhasuel stands near the back and worries that this could go south...

Readied action: begin inspire courage if hostilities erupt

Anyone else here smell a trap? Hey, where's that cat. Send it first.

Suggestion: Do these kinds of rolls yourself or spoiler the result. Speeds things up. :)

perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (19) + 5 = 24

Rhasuel moves on near the back of the group with an amused smirk on his face. That was funny. He is definitely re-creating that when he gets the chance.

Rhasuel is entranced by the floating workspace. Why didn't he think of that! It would be so convenient!
Then the book starts talking and he starts scribbling notes. He was totally going to replicate this before he kicked the bucket.

bluff aid: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (16) + 7 = 23

Why do you think they're always squabbling? Rhasuel asks as if the answer is clear.

Ya, so I'm really behind. My dot, as I said, apparently refused to register. :(

So, my dot somehow didn't register. I'll get caught up asap.

Same

Thayer notes gotten the exact specifications for the Eye of Gorum symbol before heading back. Useful as it may be, it is also something worthy of recording in and of itself.

In the tavern he orders a light meal. These missions were so far 100% guaranteed to be life threatening. He wondered if that's all adventuring was.

Rhasuel is shocked by the Herald's sudden action.
SM: 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (12) + 1 = 13
Whoa! Do these things usually come in packs? He lowers his spear
Going defensive

Rhasuel looks down at the well, then back up at the guy. Uhh... Hi?

Rhasuel follows as well, tanning special care to not step in any big juices. His nose crinkled at them Disgusting...

attack: 1d20 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (3) + 2 + 1 = 6
Damage: 1d8 + 3 + 1 ⇒ (8) + 3 + 1 = 12

Rhasuel continues urging his compatriots on even as he stabs at the big bug.

Rhasuel activates Inspire Courage as above

Well, at least they had light. Rhasuel takes his place and tries to keep his eyes open.
perception: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22

Well-camouflaged by the mottled coloration of the bone walls, Rhasuel sees two forms that are busily making their way toward Elena. They are very large multi-legged wormy-looking things...
Elana! Shield up! Battle has come to us! he cries.
Inspire courage activated

Rhasuel's disapproval'o'meter starts tapping rather rapidly. Let's get it done, then. The faster the better.

kn:local: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (7) + 6 = 13
kn:history: 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (16) + 6 = 22

Rhasuel is in a much better mood after his children's time. He stares into discs for a moment after asking his question and proceeds to answer himself.
The folks here believe in sprinkling iron shavings in front of the ruins protects you as rye monsters within are compelled to count the filings before chasing you.
Kellid barbarians ruled this land before it was Ustalav, and depending on the tribe, they both worshipped and warded against powerful ancient evils.
When the undead Whispering Tyrant conquered this part of Ustalav, he killed all the living but left many of the ancient Kellid sites untouched. After he was defeated, the Ustalavs reclaimed the land.
Tales tell of a group of Ustalavic nobles who fled deep into the earth through a well below the monolith to escape the Whispering Tyrant - a well that the ancient Kellids knew to be a gateway to evil. After the Whispering Tyrant was defeated in the Shining Crusade, crusaders sealed the well, trapping any surviving nobles below. We should be careful when were out there.

Rhasuel waits one a bench made from a plank and two barrels while the kids do the leg work. While he waits he tells a small group of children who gather to see whether their friends were right about the size of his beard a take ali how said beard once held off an entire goblin war party while Rhasuel himself remained asleep.

When the report comes back he dismisses his like gathering and joins the group again. And do you suspect that the rumors of this great evil are true? He asks.

Thiel makes his way down and enjoys a modest bowl of stew slowly. Each bite is an event to him, taking far longer than normal. He hums a like ditty while he eats.

Ready to go!

That ended well! I was occupied all day and unexpectedly couldn't post, but it's ok. I think you did an excellent job.

No worries! Consider that above tirade to be the start of Inspiration then, which provides +1 vs charm and fear effects as well as attack and damage, just so everyone remembers. :)
