    Alora explores down as far as she can go in the shaft with the rope of climbing. However, she reaches the end of the rope without finding any opening or end. Even her light doesn't show a bottom to the shaft. Maybe someone with a item that gives the power of flying would have better luck. As she starts to move back up, she can blank stone 10' above the illusionary wall.

    We could tie the two ropes together, says Quayle thoughtfully. Or we could use that potion of flight, Xan, don't you have that?

    OOC SEE blank stone? What illusionary wall?
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    @The_Potty_1 Montaron discovered one wall was actually an illusion. That's what gets you into the shaft. From there, it's a LONG way down. Ropes are 60' long, and lights shine about 30' in each direction. This means the shaft is easily more than 90' high/deep.

    Alora likes the idea of flying. If Xan will let her drink the potion she is willing to fly down the shaft and see what she can find.

    She hasn't even reached the smell of Garrick's taking a dump and a leak down there… yet.

    It suddenly occurs to Alora that it would be selfish of her to use Xan's Potion of Flying. She really ought to let him use it himself ....

    @Permidion_Stark Nice try, but she has NO IDEA what's waiting for her. :D
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    OOC: Damn! Oh well, I guess Alora has got s surprise in store ...

    @Fighting_Ferret Can Alora use your Potion of Flying so she can investigate the bottomless pit of doom?
  • Awong124Awong124 Member Posts: 2,642
    I'm assuming that Alora hasn't made her way back up yet and is still dangling on the rope. Kivan goes over and shakes and swings the rope and lets out a hearty laugh.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    Just because I'm a cheerful halfling who sees the best in everyone doesn't mean I don't know how to sneak up on people and backstab them!

    Alora makes a mental note to make a new list just for Kivan. She will do this as soon as she gets out of the bottomless poop chute of death.

    Minsc joins in the fun knowing he can always blame it on Kivan without Alora knowing any better.

    OOC This party will work beautifully together ;)

    Jaheira grabs both rangers by the ear and pulls them away. "Sit down! We are going to have a very long talk."
  • Fenris308Fenris308 Member Posts: 118
    Minsc hands the rope over too Keldorn as Jaheira drags him away.

    "Ow ow ow... You're not a very nice woman. Anybody ever told you that?"
  • lockmundlockmund Member Posts: 354
    "Now pay attention. Being a true warrior is not about bullying those that are weaker. What would you say if we did that to Boo, Minsc? We use violence to achieve things, but that does not mean that we should stoop to malign acts. Alora was brave enough to go down that hole and you play tether-ball with her?..." (Jaheira continues for several minutes)

    "Khalid, I'm getting a sore throat. Yell at them some more and try not to stutter, dear."
  • Fenris308Fenris308 Member Posts: 118
    Having things explained to him as you would a child seems to stick with Minsc and he listens intently nodding his ahead in acknowledgment. Boo even seems to be enjoying the enlightenment and perks up at the mention of his name.

    Alora decides that there is no point in hanging around down here any longer and climbs back up the rope. When she reaches the top she gives Kivan a very hard stare.

    @CrevsDaak

    Alora goes over to Imoen and whispers to her: "Since Xan seems to be asleep why don't you try and pick-pocket his Potion of Flying off him? Then I can use it to explore the bottomless pit.
  • CrevsDaakCrevsDaak Member Posts: 7,155
    Imoen will try to pickpocket Xan, it will mostly succeed since I am talented in pick pocketing.
  • Permidion_StarkPermidion_Stark Member Posts: 4,861
    @LadyRhian

    Alora (who is quite jealous of Imoen's festive hat) will try to distract the others while Imoen is trying to get Xan's potion. She will do this by stamping on Kivan's foot and informing him he is Poo-bum. She will then run off and hide behind Jaheira.

    If Imoen succeeds, Alora will then drink the potion and go flying down the shaft in search of secret doors. She will descend slowly in case the depth of the shaft is an illusion.

    Jaheira start seeing to the remains of the predecessors. During the process she find a couple of stakes a bit of cake. It's a few days old, but still. "Do you think this is good Alora?" She hands one of the stakes to Khalid and keep the other.

    Imoen's hat gives +2 to Chaos and +2 to Happy Christmas.

    "Obviously I knew she wasn't going to fall. Seeing as what a capable halfling she is (Kivan appealing to Alora's naivete through flattery). I was merely keeping her skills sharp. You know how skills can dull through lack of use. It was for the good of the group."

    Then Kivan leans over to Imoen and whispers, "*it was not for the good of the group. I just thought it was fun.*"

    Alora tries the cake. She thinks it might be good. But she should probably try the rest of it just to be certain.

    Alora decides that Kivan may not be all bad (though she feels that if her skills need sharpening she should be the one to decide. She is, after all, second-in-command after Minsc).

    Alora easily finds Xan's potion and drinks it to wash down the cake. With a hiccup, she finds herself floating off the ground and quickly returns to the shaft. It's a long, long way down… 140' of "Way down". Eventually, the walls become highly polished wood, and she lands on top of something that is splattered with poop and wet with urine. Cold urine. It gives way beneath her weight and she finds herself in a small 10' by 10' room with two buttons on the wall. One is labelled "Up" and the other "down". There is also another door and a small crank.

    Imoen screams to Alora ( @Permidion_Stark ) that she should be aware of traps and that stuff.
  • LadyRhianLadyRhian Member Posts: 14,694
    "Teach your grandmother to suck eggs!" Imoen, Alora is a thief. I think she knows about traps. ;)
