"I agree. If anything, we may find clues to this mystery along the way.", Barley says and sheaths his sword, looking towards the direction Rhidon indicated.
OOC:
Sounds like a plan to me.Nov 19, 2023 4:50 am
Vaun nodded to Rhidon, "You are absolutely right; are you also interested in anatomy, perhaps? I agree with you; let us proceed according to your plan."
OOC: Let's follow the path of water, and while we travel, let's check on the closest boroughs. Is that a river or a shallow stream, by the way?

Image can be found in the ~Tiny Info~ sheet, Maps section, Temporary Maps spoiler, Eldergrove Suddenly you feel a shift underfoot as the ground collapses and opens to a deep pit lines with vines.
Everyone roll a save test. All dice are below 5 = you take 1 damage from the fall. Any 5 = you grab vines or other things to slow your fall. Any 6 = you Stay at the lip of the pit. 2 6's you totally avoid the trap.

Barley and Malachi manage to jump back just as the ground opens up while Rhidon and Vaun fall hard onto the stones below. each takes one damage As Barley scrambles to get all the way out of the pit Rhidon and Vaun sit up, slightly stunned, and examine the area they now find themselves in. The pit is about 20 feet deep and the walls are covered in roots or vines with small but sharp thorns. Barley finishes pulling himself up out of the pit. Vanun and Rhidon become aware of moisture under themselves as the ground beneath them grows moist and small pools of liquid begin forming in the pit.

Rhidon takes the rope out of his pack, as he prefers a climb that won't puncture his hands, and calls out to Barley above. "The pit is filling with water! I'm throwing some rope up, catch it and try to tie it to something."
He tries to toss the rope up, holding on to one end waiting to feel a tug from Barley on the other side.

Vaun fell down, scratching himself and falling for the second time since the beginning of the crypt exploration. He will probably meet his end like this, but for today, he is still alive. Just when he thought this was going to be easier, he noticed the floor beginning to form pools of liquid. It didn't take much complex thinking to understand what they had fallen into. "Oh no! We are inside some kind of carnivorous pitcher plant! We need to get out. Rhidon, do you have a grappling hook? Barley, are you up there? I am throwing the rope up. We are in danger; please catch it."

Recovering his balance. Barley sees two ropes flying over the pit, he makes a grab for Vaun's with his left hand.
"What, guys I'll need, he cuts himself off.
Rhidon's looks like it's falling short! he thinks then tries to telekineticly grab Rhidon's with his mind.
"If I can can catch these, I'll need somewhere to tie them off!"

Rhidon (when he rolls well lol) is a pretty good martial artist, and recently acquired the Seven League Boots from the Ranger which grant advantage on jump checks.Given his training and the boots, would it be possible for Rhidon to sort of "wall jump" out of the pit with a couple rolls and then possibly lower the rope down?

Vaun and Rhidon seem to have the same thought at the same time and both quickly try to get a rope up to Barley. Barley goes for Rhidon's rope and misses it then tries again with his power before noticing Vaun's rope to the side and grabbing that. As Barley struggles to get a good anchor to pull up his compatriots Vaun and Rhidon both feel a slight tingle in their now sodden feet. Looking down they see the leather of your boots flaking off as you scuff your feet nervously. Barley finally finds a place to brace his feet and calls down to the others to begin climbing up.
I need a save test, 2d6, from whomever remains behind while the other climbs up first. If the save test passes they can then climb out without problem. If the save test fails they must roll with disadvantage, 1d6, to climb out of the pit.

Vaun was horrified to see that his analysis was correct. This is indeed a giant carnivorous plant that has laid an excellent trap to entrap any creatures passing unaware through the location, and now it is secreting digestive juices that are dissolving their shoes, which will next dissolve their feet. He looked at Rhidon and said, "Climb up, my friend, and I will follow you. If we stay for long, we will be digested meat!"

Beruga sniffs the air and waddles towards the voices, at first out of curiosity, then with an increased pace as genuine concern kicks in.
EEEYAH! she exclaims, brushing past Barley. Grab this! and using her teeth, pulls the zipper on the left side of her harness to let down a third rope into the pit.
Having dealt with this kind of situation a surprising number of times before (due to her profession as a Sherpa), she calmly and expertly digs her claws into the dirt and anchors herself, waiting for the others to climb out.Are you good? No one got left behind, did they? You're all warm-blooded too? That's so cool! Beruga scrambles between all three members, sniffing their hands and perking her ears up at every sound they make.uh, where exactly am I? The skeleton that sent me here wasn't exactly familiar with the area I think. Did that plant just... move?

Heavy weight and clawed feet make Beruga nearly impossible to push over if she is staying still.

The three of you see an ENORMOUS rodent that could easily be mistaken for a bear if not for her floppy round ears, long whiskers, and squeaky voice that resembles a dog toy. She travels on all fours by default, and wears a harness with pockets on both sides that she can access with her mouth.Nov 22, 2023 8:43 am
