The Earth's Upheaval OOC - Out of Character Thread

[Plainsfox]

When it comes to next initiative pass, do what you can to get Thork out of the hole and then I'll flip the switch, if I survive. That should bring the trap floor back up.

What do you want from us, Orb of Kendar? How can we please you, so that you might allow progression of the story or at least cessation of it by killing all the players? This quasi-limbo thing you've trapped us in kind of blows.

4, 2, 1. These dice. THESE DICE! ...are mathematically coordinated. I'm not even surprised anymore.

I didn't want to make a fuss about it, and if this does, sorry, but about two weeks ago my sister passed away. The celebration of life, funeral, a rose by any other name, will be today. So, I plan to be back by Monday/Tuesday, though given this is the 6th time I tried to type this... no promises.  

[Plainsfox]

My prayers are with you, SCN.  

[Paidi tou Selini]

Ohgod, I'm so sorry. I know what it's like to lose a loved one long before their time. If you need someone to talk to you can find me on skype pretty much any time I'm not sleeping, at ghostlymaidenofthemoon - or the Lilly Grove with the picture of a... well... ghostly maiden holding a flower under the moon, I forget which one skype searches for (just let me know who you are in the request as I've a tendency to ignore random invites).

Otherwise take as much time as you need.

Just waiting on you before I can post (which I intend to do when I get home from work today).

Is there anything in the room to anchor a rope to?

You could probably finagle it into a part of the wall that's not even. I wouldn't call it 'secure', but it'd be more secure than Ambra simply holding onto it. A more secure option would be to drag in a barricade from outside.

UPDATE: I'll wait until you post before I post. It seems you have something in mind.  

[Kowsauni]

Would it take a check to drag a barricade into this room?  

[Plainsfox]

I'd like to update my response to "How long Aelgeirr is taking to search" to be as long as the guys are down in the pit.

With her strength of 10? Probably a while. Aelgeirr or Thork could probably do it in 5 minutes or less. Let's see...

5x your strength (500 lbs) is the most you can drag/push. This things are meant to be durable so yeah, they're probably up there in weight. Where's Twyla when you need her, m i rite?

For what it's worth, Aelgeirr is an Eladrin and he can 'port over after he short-rests. He can do it much easier.  

[Plainsfox]

Unless I'm missing something, Aelgeirr can *BAMF* next to Mercy on one round. take a short rest and then *BAMF* back to somewhere they can reach the lever with Mercy if he can carry her through a fey step. Two short rests? We do need to reset the trap, I think. Wait. Idea. Throw the rope up to Aelgeirr. He ties it. Thork and Mercy come up, we reset the trap, and Ambra comes over? ><  

[SCN_ Grey_fox]

Late night thinking, but the hatch near Aelgeirr and the door are on the same side. Could he proceed to the next room, to see if there is a switch?
