Road to Phandelver

*whisper* I can cast light when we need it.

I continue to have mage hand hold the lantern at arms length so its easy to turn on. While we walk I have the mage hand keeping up with me.

In a whisper.
Ok, when we need it just say so.

Pointing across the stream to the barely visible passage way Puck whispers, "Human that way. Hard climb though."

Humm this should be relieving.

I make over exaggerate sniffing noises.

In a whisper.
Puck, I think the lantern is close to you could you point the lantern to were Kai is talking about and lift the hook my mage hand will keep it held in the air.

Carefully opening the hood of the lantern so as to let his eyes adjust to the brightness Puck points to the passage way across the stream. "Told you. Tough climb." The passage is choked with rubble and consists of two steep escarpments separated by a perilous looking ledge.

Those who haven't already seen the bridge notice that in the shadows of the ceiling to the north you can just make out the dim shape of a rickety bridge of wood and rope crossing over the passage ahead of you. Another passage intersects this one, twenty feet above the stream. The bridge isn't empty and all of you notice the goblin clumsily sneaking along to your right.

"How tough can it be?" Colten said in a low whisper. With a running start, he dashes up the wall under the dim light.

"Uh oh." Colten's pride gave away with the ledge. The nobleman falls backwards, landing hard on the back of his head before rolling into the stream. Dark blood can be seen gushing robustly into the water. Head spinning, he nobleman couldn't find any strength to get up from that poor display of acrobatics. "I. . .really hope no one saw that."

Kai's arrow whooshes past the goblin, who let's out a yelp after realizing that he's been seen, and picks up his pace. Noticing Kai has raised his bow, Puck follows suit, launching an arrow that catches the sneaking goblin right in the side of the head, dropping him on the spot.

"Never like Creakjaw" he says, slinging his bow onto his back.

After a series of coughing and spluttering, Colten manages to get himself back on the bank with the party, almost tripping over himself despite only needing to move several feet.

"Ugh. this is going to be sore in the morning." The noble said with a hand over the back of his head, blood still trickling through his fingers.

Watching Puck, hit the other goblin, Gareth whistles. Nice shot, Puck.

Luka shakes her head, goes over to Colten, and uses Healing Word. *sigh* Honestly...We barely got into this place, and you nearly break your neck trying to climb a wall. Please be more careful.

"Thank you, my lady." Colten says with a sheepish grin. He rubs the spot where the wound once was, and is relieved to feel it whole again.

Talking to puck, in a whisper.
So you couldn't see your, not friend, in the dark yae? Him not being that far away from us.

"My pride hurts more than anything at the moment, but I should be fine to continue. . . As for that ledge, I'd say it's too tough a climb for some of us." Colten says as he looks over his insurmountable foe.

With a big grin on my face, and as quietly as i can say

Colten, we found your great nemesis, "The Wall"
