Afina vs the lich (Afina)

[Anastasia]

Relevant, does he have a climb spell as well?

[Ebiris]

He has no special movement modes, just absurdly high ranks/strength

You begin to climb. Soon the ground below you becomes smaller and smaller as Smrgol climes up 100ft, 300ft, 500ft and then a 1000ft up total. Still barely made a dent when...

Listen checks, all.

I just noticed Smrgol has PF skills. Doesn't matter for climbing but I'll abstain from any perception type rolls for him and fix it later

[Anastasia]

That's fine.

Afina hears a soft but distinct crack of rock above. Glancing up, she sees a cliff face not far above suddenly collapse, a rockslide rumbling down at the group.

You have time to react thanks to your Listen check, so go.

[Ebiris]

She might not have her magic but given her elemental nature it's not needed for something as simple as this! Calling upon her connection to air she suddenly manifests tornado force winds on the cliff above to blast those rocks as well as whoever set them falling way off the cliff to sail right over Smrgol's head without tumbling straight down onto him!

[Anastasia]

"....!" Mei makes a wordless expression of surprise, while Dana begins to bring her shield around. But fortunately, your gust of winds are sufficient to blow the rocks away.

[Ebiris]

She'd hoped it would get an ogre or three as well, but it must have been an automatic trap. "I'll keep an eye out for traps, something must have tripped that," she tells the others, ceasing the storm once its services are no longer required.

taking 10 for 54 on search as we climb from now on

[Anastasia]

That'll slow you down a tad, okay with that?

[Ebiris]

Will it? I mean Smrgol's already moving at half speed to climb and I'm just sitting on his head, I figure I can spot stuff like that just as well as if I was moving at half my (significantly faster) speed. But if so it's fine.

[Anastasia]

A little, for times when you need to stop him to check something suspicious or the like. It's not a big slowdown (and wouldn't be round by round, just occasionally), but worth mentioning.

[Ebiris]

it's a sacrifice worth paying then, I only have so many helpful SLAs

[Anastasia]

Done.

You're up to about 3000ft. It's extremely tough going. Srmgol has to climb everything and the party has to hold on tight. Afina's wings feel strangely heavy, barely able to twitch and doing nothing to help her fly. Afina can feel the air get thinner as well, a natural ability to simply notice the lack of one of her elements. It doesn't seem to be bothering Mei or Dana, at least not yet.

"Hey Mei," Dana says as Smrgol goes around a sheer cliff face for one with a few indents, able to use that to continue on, "How's that no talking thing? I mean, I don't fucking GET it, even if I fucking know why you do it. Why the hell does the Triune think not saying shit even if you have a mouthful is holy?"

Mei turns and smiles warmly, tapping her forehead several times. She then brings her hands together and bows her head, as if praying.

"Ooooh, so they want you to be listening to them and only them?" Dana says, "Not the type to share?" She grins viciously at that, "Had someone who tried to get me into a threesome one time with another woman. Threatened to drive my rapier right through his cockhole till it hit the hilt. Since hey, if going for another box is fucking okay for me, then getting some hard, long sword's good for him. So I get it, sharing fucking sucks."

Mei blinks slowly throughout the story, turning ever so slightly greenish in color.

Listen check, Afina.

[Ebiris]

[10:17] <@Ebiris> roll 1d20+41 listen
[10:17] <Serith> Ebiris roll for Serith < 47 > [d20=6]

"Would it have been alright if it was with another man?" Afina asks, wondering where Dana's objection to the concept came from.

[Anastasia]

"Nah," Dana says, "I just don't like sharing. Fucked up shit." As she says this, you hear a rustling above you. Very soft, very faint, only audible due to your supernaturally sharp ears and the wind blowing just so.
