The Heart of Darkness... [Main Game Thread]

[BishGada]

Fladair grunts, "I guess we are lucky enough to NOT have gems. Let's move on with the others."
==================================
(OOC: Galan and Faladair also don't have gems)

[Nocturno]

"Also no Gems. Maybe if we go back to camp later on, we can pass by again, and try our luck."

==================

So.... is this the original armed bandit?

[counterkid]

Tabbi responds: I'm ok. "There is a 7 foot pit here that we will need to navigate. This wall is an illusion, try disbelieving it."

What does Tabbi need to role to jump the pit?

[TristenC]

[not really a pit, just a drop down into the hallway. think of going 8 ft down a ladder into a room from the roof, but there is no ladder. The only reason she needed a check before is she couldn't see there was no floor from the other side of the illusion. She can just hang onto the edge and drop down perfectly safely]

[Nocturno]

"Oy, so what is going on up there lads?"

[counterkid]

Zafron moves towards Tabbi. Tabbi will take the 10 foot pole and tap the ground on the bottom on the other side of the illusionary wall. If safe she will climb down by hanging on the leg and jumping down.
Zafron will go next and do the same.

Upon hearing Tabbi's response, Bryce responds.
"Good to hear lass, I'll nip back and let the rest know what's going on. Be right back, don't get yerself killed."

Bryce returns to the the group with haste and announces "There is an illusion at the end of this tunnel, the lass says there is a shallow bit beyond it. You sussed out this statue yet? I don't think Tabbi's going to wait for anyone." Turning to his mystically minded brother he says "You might want to have a wee chat with her, she's going to get herself killed with her impatience."

[TristenC]

Tabbi taps the ground in the hall directly beneath the illusion veiled passage with as wide a reach as she can manage. Finding nothing, she props one end of the pole in the opening itself and the other against the floor. Hanging down as far as possible, she then drops to the ground smoothly without incident.

[Squirrellord]

Having delivered the progress report, Bryce heads back up the tunnel to meet up with Tabbi. If he doesn't spot her half in/out of the illusion, he pops his head through and looks around for her.

[Nocturno]

"I believe it is far too late to talk to her about that. That is why She and Zafron get a long so well. Want my ladder to get down? I will stay up here until last."

[BishGada]

"I guess we shall return to this statue later then." Galan says disappointed. "Sure. Let's use the ladder. It seems more comfortable." Galan thinks about his boots but also about the others so accepting the offer seems like the polite answer.

[TristenC]

Bryce returns, pokes his head through the illusion and looks down to see Tabbi standing on the floor of the hall below. Van produces his ladder and it looks like it will be a good fit to take them down into the hall

[Squirrellord]

Bryce lowers himself down, hanging from his hands and letting go to fall to the floor below. Before moving he asks "Initial thoughts Tabbi? Anything that I should avoid that ye figured yet?" While awaiting an answer from Tabbi he starts peering intently at the walls, floors and ceiling from his vantage point to see if he can determine how well constructed and how fresh or old the work appears to be.

[counterkid]

" I haven't investigated anything as of yet. What did that riddle say again? Is this the great Hall?"

[BishGada]

"It is sure bigger than the room with the Gargoyle statue..." Galan says.
