"I think there maybe something down here." She turns and steels herself for what every may be in the room with her. Holding her hammer she readies herself for any charge.

"We have fifty feet or line. I hope that is long enough!" said Boris as he dropped the carefully wrapped rope down. It was wrapped so that it would unspool as it dropped.

In reply to Ondrea Avalor (msg # 208):

Larz took the robe and tied it around his waist trusting that his mass would be enough of an anchor, then dropped the other end down to his friend.

"Quick, grab on to the rope, I'll haul you up!" Larzander called out to Ondrea.

"Boris, If I get pulled over the edge let me go. No sense in both of us being hurt." the barbarian warned.

In reply to Larzander Gunderzen (msg # 210):

Stoney is there too, and tries to grab onto any part of the big man's clothing, to help anchor him, too.

"Ok, I'll hold on to you, too.  We have the rope, explore, and if you need help, rush on up!
Or if it will help, we can push Boris down to help.  Ha Ha right Boris?"

The rope effortlessly works down the small tunnel and hits the floor next to Ondrea with a slight *THUD* that rattles several gold chalices nearby.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 212):

Realising her best bet was retreat Ondrea grabs the rope and  yells "PULL ME UP, UP" She lopped the end of the rope around foot and held the two pieces together so she had an arm free for her weapon.

In reply to Ondrea Avalor (msg # 213):

"Pull, quickly, get her out!"
Stoney tries to hurry up pulling of the rope.  "C'mon Larz put your back into it!"

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 212):

Boris pulled as well.

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 215):

Larzander braced himself and pulled the rope with all his strength being careful not to injure his friend in the process.

09:31, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 18 using 1d20.  Dex check =14.

09:30, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 15 using 1d20+1.  strength check.

Bracing yourselves as best you can in the circular room, you begin heaving frantically on the rope.  The tension is almost immediate and you are forced to lean back just to create enough inertia to begin pulling Ondrea upwards.  Inch by inch, hand over hand, the rope slowly begins to emerge from the darkness.  Suddenly, a loud roar of clanking metal rises from the depths and the three of you are nearly pulled down as well as some unseen force has appeared somewhere below.

SOMETHING HAS GOT ME."

In reply to Ondrea Avalor (msg # 218):

OOC: Awaiting reply to OOC questions before Larz acts.

Ondrea, if you could move to one side that might be good...

In reply to Larzander Gunderzen (msg # 219):

"Someone get down there! We cant let a pretty woman in distress go without help!"

Grabbing his side, and wounds.

"I am in no shape to help her alone, but if I have to!"

Moving to the edge, and acting like he is going to go down, or seeing if there is a way down.

In reply to Stoney Applesmith (msg # 220):

The burly barbarian untied the rope from around his waist and handed it to Stoney. "Hang on to this, I'll be right back."

He then went to the edge of the hole and lowered/slid/jumped down inside to help Ondrea. "Coming down! Try to move to the side!"

10:18, Today: Larzander Gunderzen rolled 1 using 1d20.  Dex check =14.
OMG!! Look out below! 280lbs of dumbass coming down at terminal velocity...

"Oh, crap!"

Stoney tried to brace himself against anything to hold up the giant man-beast.


missed strength check & missed dex check.
09:02, Today: Stoney Applesmith rolled 14 using 1d20.  strength check .
09:03, Today: Stoney Applesmith rolled 10 using 1d20.  dex.

In reply to Stoney Applesmith (msg # 222):

Boris gathered up the loose rope and looked for a place to tie off.

"I think the best we can do is find some place close to anchor this rope."

Stoney and Boris struggle to hold the weight of Ondrea as Larz starts to work his way down.  Unfortunately, the stone passageway was designed to both cause less friction and give no hand holds.  With that, Larz loses both his feet, slamming down hard onto the stone ramp and begins to roll, head over heels down into the darkness.  Gaining momentum as he rolls, he explodes into the chamber.  Clipping Ondrea as he falls, he crashes into the pile of treasure and the roar of banging metal reverberates in everyone's ears.


Larz: I'm assuming you didn't bring a lit torch or any sort of light source?

Boris:  Depending on what you do, I will need some more rolls...
  If you're just holding the rope and not trying to fight against it, I'll just need a DEX check.
  If you're actively resisting any weight or resistance the rope encounters, I'll need a STR check

Try as he might, Stoney is unable to keep his grip upon the large warrior but manages to keep himself from falling down after him.  Lucky for him, Boris had gotten the rope attached to an anchor point before Larz slipped down.  Then you notice the tension on the rope has completely dissipated.

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 226):

"Oh no, they are at the bottom.  I am glad you had thought to tie it off!"
Tugging the rope a couple times, like fishing to see if anything grabs it.

"I really dont want to go down there, but staying up here isnt much better.  what do you say?"

In reply to Stoney Applesmith (msg # 227):

"It won't be good if we both go down. You're a healer and Ondrea may be hurt. You go down, I'll belay."

As he spoke he pulled up the rope and prepared to tie Stoney off.

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 228):

Taking a long drink.

"Er, um, ok. your logic does make sense, but you are also a healer. One who is more in tune with their God, the Christ as you call him.  I'll stay up, and you go down.  I feel I might have used all my favors for a little while."

In reply to Stoney Applesmith (msg # 229):

"Accepting the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal savior will heal your soul, not your body. It is only a priest or Templar who may do that."

Boris tied Stoney off, then without warning gave him a shove backwards into the pit.

"You'll manage. If not, say "hi" to Pelor for me!"

OOC: Ha ha! I can roll to-hit or make a DEX check, if you are really set on Stoney going down without a fight!

In reply to Boris Underhill (msg # 230):

Well then, without a struggle Stoney slides on down the "trap".

"Pull some slack, I am going really fast!"

In reply to Stoney Applesmith (msg # 231):

"That's the spirit!" Boris said as he belayed Stoney, slowing his descent into the oubliette.
