You've been teleported

After touching the statute, you feel that uneasy feeling in your stomach as your reality shifts, you blink out of existence in one place and time and reappear in another.

This one is not as pleasant. You are in the bottom of a 10 deep pit about 15 foot square. Above the pit ledge is a walkway of only 2 1/2" feet and then a wall that goes all the way up another 15 feet and all around the pit except at one corner where a corridor seems to lead off away from the pit. Lucky for you, there is a wooden ladder that extends from the pit bottom to the corner edge a decent 30% slope and a safe 3 feet above the ledge so you can easily climb out. The most apparent problem? You are surrounded by four different types of poisonous viper swarms that are very interested in you. The skeletons of their previous victims have been picked clean to the bone. Various trash and debris, including a lit torch by which you can see things and a single feather litter the floor.

I reveal one of my nifty new skills, borne of an increased commune with the natural spirits and the fey sugar gliders that hide about my body...
[ +- ] Writhing Tide
With a bit of concentration, I stir the swarm of sugar gliders, who begin to emerge from their nooks and crannies throughout my clothing and armor. As they come forth they begin to split and divide, travelling down my legs to the floor. "Hold on to me," I say as I gather Lightfingers (Caine) and Bluebard (Jacob) on either side of me, lifting up and holding each around the waist. As the tide of sugar gliders grows it lifts me up along with my companions, leaving the writhing tide of snakes below as the fey spirits pass right through them. As we reach the top of the pit, I set my companions down on the edge of the pit, remaining hovering upon the crested waves of sugar gliders.

Although Kitty tried to get around Sparky's hesitate movements through the vipers and up the ladder, Sparky is able to get to the ladder first and starts to climb. Lucky him. As he grasps with both hands onto the rail of the ladder, he notices quickly that it feels weird. His fingers sink into the surface unnaturally, and then they don't leave it. He realizes he is grappled by the ladder, even as a readied pseudopod of amorphous shaped wood reaches out from the side of the ladder and strikes at him. Now he is attached to the ladder by both hands and his head.

Caine and Jacob, I am assuming you are using your movement to allow Storm to raise you out of the pit, but you may still do an action.
Feb 11, 2021 8:08 pm
Assuming my 11 puts my attack after Storm and before Caine (not sure what T-Cat rolled, but as far as I can see, he's not here). I had thought to throw one end of a rope down to Kit and secure the other end around Storm, who is stronger than me, but would that be my movement? And if so, I can't do that because I've already moved, correct?

Assuming my post about movement is true and I only get an attack/spell action: Being raised in the jungles, I'm a more startled by being grabbed up by the goliath than fearful of the snakes, but once I feel my feet lift from the floor, I'm thankful for my resourceful nature loving friend. As I ascend, I start to sing a glorious hymn, giving a 1d8 Bardic Inspiration Roll to Kon.

My first thought is to burn or blast all the snakes away, but since Kon and Kit are still in the pit, before I can help them out, I toss more directional mote of fire at the snakes.

Jacob's fire mote fails to damage the swarms, but his music seems uplifting if Kon decides to use his strength to break free of his non-elevating ladder.

Damage, if any, to be reduced per DMs discression for using the non-sharp side of the blades.

I, too, step over to the ledge. "So now that everyone is out of the viper pit, do we need to even worry about fighting the snakes or the mimic? Tecuani, I assume you've explored around. Any idea were we should go to find the mummy king and his son, and their hearts?"

"I've not gotten far. A few turns from here I ran into Xoch' and Duke" Tēcuani replies, indicating the bear as Xoch. He decides not to mention some of the more embarrassing details of the encounter.

"How did the two of you get past the door, Duke?"
Feb 12, 2021 3:49 pm
"It is so good to see everyone again! I am glad you didn't need me to take down this crazy looking monster. He looks dead." Duke steps over the dead mimic and hugs his wife and concentrates on his ring to telepath his feelings directly with her about missing her, without any chastisement that he had felt before when she jumped into the flames. He has grown used to her boldness. To the group he replies, "After all the wizard light went out, I lit a torch. Either the lack of blue light or the addition of orange light caused the magic of the door to fail, and we just walked through. There was a blue crystal on the other side of the door jamb, but we didn't want to play with that. We were exploring the rooms beyond when we ... err... met Tēcuani again and came directly here to help."
