Re: Expedition: White Plume Mountain
As his awe subsides, Taris senses some of Valinar's magical energy pulsing from the bracelet. He immediately understands its properties, and that it carries the last fragments of Valinar's innate magical power that are left in the mortal realm.
OOC:
Nope, don't mind at all. I love this kind of stuff - love it so much, I'm going to make that bracelet magical. As an action, you may expend the colour from one of the beads to cast chromatic orb as a 3rd level spell. The colour spent determines the element of the orb as follows: blue = cold, green = acid, red = fire, yellow = lightning.

Taris shakes off his shock and stands to face the others, "I am Taris Feldorian, Valinar was my brother. I was actually hired to take on this task, not him. He tricked me and took my place. I followed you here, met with the sphinx, answered a riddle and she told me where to find you."

"Boide Stonebook," says the cleric, by way of introduction. "Sorry for the loss. We'll hold a proper ceremony if we ever get out of here."

Re: Expedition: White Plume Mountain
As you come to know the new comer, a second geyser near the platform on the opposite side of the room erupts. It is too distant for the water spray to reach you. This one erupted about 2 minutes after the first one...
OOC:
Found this helpful image from a cute comic I don't recommend you read until we're done the adventure. Gives a clearer sense of the set up here now that you've see both geysers:

Re: Expedition: White Plume Mountain
"Well, now that we've got this family circus settled," grumbles Boide, "maybe we can figure out a way to get across this cave in a jeffy." He points at the feral humanoid earth-shaping along the wall and whispers a prayer seeking benevolence for the creature's bravery.

Casting Healing Word at 2nd level on Eithne. 2d4+5 HP.

Taris looks around, "I suggest we back out of here for a moment. I'd rather not get caught in one of those blasts here. We can take a peek after the next one to see if your friends' plan works," Taris says, pointing at Eithne.

Re: Expedition: White Plume Mountain
Taris and the others wisely retreat to the safety of the hallway, but leave the door open so they can see the crossing attempt. Progress is slow, but steady. The geysers erupt regularly, but at different intervals. The one in the middle of the room erupts every 5 minutes, and the far one every 3 minutes. The druid makes an effort to protect herself and her companion from the blasts by shaping the mud blocks to for a slight thin wall. But, each blast requires the druid to stop moving the bridge and to focus intently on maintaining the barrier keeping them safe from the scalding water.
OOC:
Make three Concentration checks

Boide crouches behind his shield, attempting to protect those behind him from any stray splatters of boiling mud. "I hope there's a lever or something. I'd hate for The Cat to have to do this for every one of us."

Re: Expedition: White Plume Mountain
Eithne an Ohica safely reach the other side. Once there they find the platform to be almost identical to the one they came from. The plain wooden door is closed.

Re: Expedition: White Plume Mountain
Turning from Ohica, Eithne heads back for the others.
OOC:
If Eithne should fail a concentration check and lose the ledge (and if she's conscious, obviously) she'll try to quickly wildshape into a cave lizard and catch the wall.

Eithne arrives back at the other side... who is next?
OOC:
To speed this up, decide on an order of transportation. Eithne only has to make 1 concentration check for each round trip

"I will be last," says Boide. "Guidance upon your brave soul!" The war cleric's hand glows as he places it upon Eithne's shoulder.
OOC:
Casting Guidance on Eithne for d4 to one ability check. Boide hopes to do this each time Eithne makes the trip; perhaps Ohica could do the same on the other side?

Ohica awaits Eithne's return.
OOC:
I wasn't expecting Eithne to leave so quickly; I'd intended to cast Guidance on this end, too. Whenever Eithne returns, Ohica will cast Guidance to assist her.

Re: Expedition: White Plume Mountain
It is slow, and there are a few close calls, but with the prayers of Ohica and Boide supporting her, Eithne manages to get everyone safely across the boiling mud pit. Now, the party faces their next great challenge, an unassuming wooden door.
OOC:
I decided that this was just going to be an exercise in "roll to see if anyone dies"; which is neither terribly fun nor interesting. You've already 'solve the puzzle', and maximized odds of success so lets just move on. Death here would be the cause of bad rolling, and I'm not interested in running a game *that* 1e in style
