Floor 1 "Wheel": 1-1

[Dracos]

Shadow tries to grab the sticks to catch himself.

OOC: Dex check of +3.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "KotonoIbis rolls 1d20+3 DC 10 dex check and gets 16." [1d20=13]

Woah! Even as Shadow falls, his hand snakes up! HIs hand grabs a hole of the wooden pole, only his one handed grip preventing him from a fatal fall! The tied up poles groan and bend downward, the weight of Shadow a clear and obvious burden!

[Dracos]

Shadow winces and hand over hands over to grab onto the ledge, using the rope and ledge and Varial's help to get up.  He keeps a hand on the poles until they're off so they don't fall over.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "KotonoIbis rolls 1d20 climb check calling this DC 10 climb check to see if you can manage to hand over hand to the edge and gets 14." [1d20=14]


With some arm work and time, Shadow is just able to get to the edge of the steely floor! With good time, for the twinned poles crack and break as he does! Even as Varian helps him climb back up, the shattered poles fall down into the chasm and it's acidic doom far below!

-2 poles, obviously.

[Dracos]

OOC: sadness.
IC:
Shadow pulled himself up, glaring a bit back at the pit.  He sat up and took a drink of half the potion, handing it to Varial for the other half.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "KotonoIbis rolls 1d8+2 and gets 10." [1d8=8]

14/15

Shadow feels much better after drinking the potion.

[Merc]

Varian looks at the potion, sighs, and uses the hem of his clothing to rub the lip of it clean, before chugging the remainder.

[Anastasia]

* Hatbot --> "KotonoIbis rolls 1d8+2 and gets 9." [1d8=7]

15/15, I think, Varian.

Drinking the potion makes Varian feel much better as well. Whew!

[Merc]

"Well, we're healed up, but do we want to wait until I can refresh my magic?" Varian asks.

ooc: still want to time skip if possible, but up to Drac and so on. Notably, I'm out of level 1 spells though and just have lv 0 spells, so...

[Dracos]

"That chest was also a warning.  Clearly the dark one will make things more difficult the longer we take.  We'll just have to bear it and continue on," Shadow lead the way back to the many corridors, looking in the next one.

[Anastasia]

Assuming take 10s on the clims, which I forgot about since it's routine and relatively safe now. D'oh.

Shadow and Varian return to the corridor, this time going back to the southwestern they were originally going to look down.  It goes on for a ways, curving slightly. It's ever so faintly  misty down it. You don't see any immediate threads in it's vicinity.

[Dracos]

OOC: Oh god, clothing monsters!  If you want to pull the lever, bring it up now.
IC:
He frowned a bit at the mist and checked the nearest adjacent one.

[Anastasia]

The nearest adjacent corridor has a short, twenty feet range. It ends at a single wall - though even from here you can see that there is some tiny writing on the way. However, you can't read it from here. You'd have to get closer.

[Dracos]

Shadow makes his way cautiously over there, poking near the floor and the wall with the butt of his spear before proceeding.

[Anastasia]

10 feet away from the writing, the floor begins to sound different, very hollow.
