As the thunder of his bullwhip echoed in the empty hall, Chester peered out into the darkness, the weapon coiling and curling as if it had a life of its own as he watched the silent darkness. Only after a few moments of stillness did he retract it, keeping the compact bundle to hand.

He put out an ear to the darkness, but the only thing he could hear was the subtle hiss of the skeleton's bones reacting with the gooey remains. "I think it's all clear."

Eronar keeps his bow in hand, not taking for granted that they are safe. He waits for someone else to lead the way so he can cover their advance.

Harsk maintain his bow in burly calloused left hand. Whilst stooping low and checking for any tracks he might have missed!
Yes, well done, friends. Let’s keep moving. Perhaps our lady is still just ahead of us!
Calloused hand runs along dungeonous floor. Checking for tracks, and perhaps for triggers towards secret passages as well.

Harsk fails to notice anything of interest as the group makes its way towards the last visible passage. This passage is 30 ft. long and 5 ft. wide. The corridor ends in a strange door with a lever next to it, and in the middle, there is a 10 ft. wide pit trap which seems to have already been triggered. There is also a neatly coil or rope on your side of the pit, next to it.

Its save to say that our heroine traversed this trap. Shouldn't be to big of a deal the cross this
After taking a running start Roak jumps over the pit
Jan 5, 2024 9:29 pm
She says as he is preparing to jump, "Thats going to be really painful if you don't make it." She waits to see if Roark does well.

Roark sees what Scarfs means as while jumping over the pit, he notices it is 20 ft. deep and set with iron spikes at the bottom... Roark is glad that he trusted in his athletic abilities as his jump carries him right over the edge (perhaps a bit too close for his taste now after seeing what awaited him at the bottom of the pit)...
OOC:
Did you grabbed one end of the coil of rope?

Scarfs asks, "Anyone got any pitons to anchor that rope." before she plans a running start and jump herself.

Roark catches the rope that is thrown to him.
You know, I could try and pull the leaver. It might close the trapdoor, but...
He kneels down and examines the pit and the trap door mechanism and locks
It could also trigger something else

Wow, this RNG is dead set on not allowing the party to discover anything! XD
Roark kneels down to examine the pit trap a bit closer and try to figure out how to trigger and reset it. He turns around and considers the rusty lever further down the corridor for a moment, but then feels it might make more sense for it to activate the strange door it stands next to. Roark stands up, feeling a bit at a loss about the pit, but at least the group has a rope to help get across it now...

Our half orc fellow ties the rope off, and aids his friends on the way across.
I guess I can go first, Harsk says with careful confidence!
The half-orc ranger steps lightly, with chain-shirted prowess, and strides heroically across.

Scarfs keeps with the rope while Harsk crosses. "Falling sucks right now."
Jan 6, 2024 10:43 pm
The rope is 50 ft. long in total, it can easily be tied to the doors or even the lever with room to spare. Harsk can try an Athletics or Acrobatics check depending on how exactly he crosses with the rope...
Jan 6, 2024 11:13 pm
Harass crosse athletically with the rope. Tying it off at the door, then exhibiting athletic rangerly skills whilst grasping Hempen rope with calloused hands.
Wish me luck, he exudes to adventuresome friends!

About halfway through, Harsk slips dangerously... Make a Dexterity Save!

As the others are working with ropes, Chester steps up to the edge and then, almost effortlessly, takes a hopping step across the gap. He sucks in a breath through his teeth as he watches Harsk slip down from the dangling rope, turning to Roark. "Don't suppose there's enough slack to put an end down this side?"
OOC:
Chester will expend a use of Bounding Vault to clear the gap.

As Chester gracefully fly across the pit, Harsk's grasp fails him and he falls in the pit taking... 3 points of bludgeoning damage and 3 points of piercing damage.

Pit's damage

"Great. I will drop my end of the rope so you can climb out the other side." Scarfs drops the rope to Harsk's. After he is up fairly athletic Scarfs will take a long running start to leap across the pit.
