Afina vs the lich (Afina)

[Anastasia]

The cliff face below you shakes, the spider squealing like a pig as it tumbles off. The ogre screams in terror as the two tumble down out of sight, surely falling to their demise.

"Well damn, nevermind," Dana says, "Fucking pussies can't even handle an earthquake. Weak."

[Ebiris]

"That probably would've taken us out as well, so be watchful for anyone casting spells around us," Afina says, patting Smrgol's head. "Onwards and upwards."

[Anastasia]

"Shit, like that'll kill any of us," Dana rolls her eyes.

[Ebiris]

The thing is Dana's probably right. Bouncing down a cliff would be a lot of small impacts that cumulatively would tear a human or elf to shreds. But as a fey she'd probably be fine unless the mountain had a lot of surface deposits of cold iron. Still, no point being overconfident.

Another 1000ft up, 5000ft or so. The air's even thinner now, but you endure by simply not needing to breathe. As you ascend up, Mei sneezes lightly. Dana glances back, "You okay back there?" she asks.

Mei just nods and rubs her nose, blushing a little bit.

"Shit, even elves piss, fart and hock up snot. Isn't like your prissier than thou attitudes stop basic fucking biology. You have to die to do that." Dana laughs.

> roll 1d20+12 Mei
<Serith> Kowork roll for Serith < 28 > [d20=16]

Mei's gaze isn't on Dana, nor does she react. Instead she's looking ahead and suddenly grabs Afina's shoulder, leaning over Dana and pushing her into Afina as she points at the ground about 30ft ahead.

"Hey, the hell?" Dana grouses, "Is cramming your tits into my back the new way of communicating?"

[Ebiris]

"Smrgol, stop!" Afina says, looking at where Mei's pointing.

You come to a sharp stop and look ahead. There's hidden slits there, noticeable now that they're pointed out. You can see the gleam of metal from just within them.

[Ebiris]

"Good spot, Mei," Afina says approvingly. "Climb around them, Smrgol," she says, directing the dragon to maneuver his ascent so no one can shoot out those slits at him.

[Anastasia]

"Geez, someone's overcompensating for something," Dana mutters as you continue your climb. At about 6000ft up, the peaks are still far away. However, there's a large, open cave mouth not far from where you cross. From the looks of it, a river once poured out of it, but it's long since gone dry.

[Ebiris]

"Ahh, a chance to stretch our legs. Get us into there, Smrgol?" Afina asks, hopping off his head once they're in the cave.

[Anastasia]

You hop right in. It stretches deep into the mountains and darkness. The passage is well worn, signs of a river that once flowed here. Dana gets off and stretches her legs, "Think this goes all the way through?" she asks. "If it does, it'll be fucking fortified."

[Ebiris]

"Probably, but at least if something gets a good hit in we don't have to worry about falling all the way down and starting over," Afina says, not really put off by her inability to fly as despite her tiny legs she moves with quite striking speed across the ground, pausing and weaving about as she still checks for traps like she did on the way up.

[Anastasia]

You barely go 20ft before you notice a trap. A faint, hidden magical aura, spotted by the slightest energy emissions. Anyone who goes any farther will trigger it.

[Ebiris]

"Trap," Afina points it out. "Of course none of us can disable traps, but Smrgol you're immune to magic so just go through and we'll follow after it's discharged?"

"SUCH FEEBLE MAGICS ARE NO THREAT TO ME!" Smrgol booms, lumbering onwards without fear while Afina moves back a bit more so she's forty feet away from the trap. She gestures for Dana and Mei to do the same.

[Anastasia]

Dana shrugs and follows, while Smrgol lumbers forward. The moment he crosses over the trap, nothing happens.
