A 5e D&D campaign starting at 1st level in and around the city of Waterdeep in the Forgotten Realms.

Waterdeep: City of Splendours, seat of many thousand plots. Are they opportunities for success, or for an untimely demise?
Will the adventurers sit safely in their comfort zones? Or will they risk their all to carve out a slice of Realms history with their names on it? Puppet or puppeteer?

Ring secured, then with only his legs and hips supporting him when Luka tugs at the skeleton's boots he wobbles and looks as though he's going to slip down into the crevasse. Fighting off the cramps he soldiers on and passes out the boots one at a time into the care of Vic's Mage Hand.

Running the extra rope through the leather armour does the job and then Val hauls first the elf and then the salvaged leathers back into the main cavern. Most of the skeleton breaks up and drops out of reach down into the crevasse.

What next?

Well that was close, thanks for the help getting back up here.. I found this ring too. Anyone know who this woman is on the ring?

He removes it and takes a closer look at it, handing it to the closest person to have a look at, and Takes a look at the boots and Leather too.

=================
I am proficient with Leatherworking tools even though I do not have them. Will look at the Boots and Leather Armor to see if they are High Quality.

Luka gleans no more from the ring and its exquisitely enamelled image.
However, he is certain that both the boots and the leathers are of excellent workmanship using the finest materials.

Anyone examining the ring may make their choice of a Religion or History skill check. Advantage applies if proficient

I would be interested in taking that Leather Armor, if there is no one else who would like to have it. It is of Exceptional Workmanship and Leather is the best for my line of work. I would assume that all of this stuff would have to be magical or it would have decayed and fallen apart just like it's previous owner. But that is an assumption on my part. I am definitely interested in the Leather Armor. Someone else can have the ring and Boots.

He unties his rope from his waist and from the Leather Armor. Stands the Cuirass up and dusts off some cobwebs.

We can discuss this further. I am new to the group and am not sure how you have made arrangements for dividing treasure found. We do have several piles of weapons laying around that we should be able to get a good amount of coin for back in Waterdeep.

Vic recognises it as Lady Firehair, an icon of Sune, the deity of beauty, love and passion. In Waterdeep her Temple of Beauty holds an exclusive ball every year. Tickets may only be obtained from her priesthood. The ball is traditionally protected by the Sisters and Brothers of the Ruby Rose, an order of paladins dedicated to Sune. Many of the order are favoured with an enchanted ring such as this.

CRAP!!!! I just let a bunch of gold fall in that pit. We could have gotten some reward for taking the corps back.

He stomps around pulling his own hair. Obviously pissed off at himself.

Well to late now. No way to get it out of that hole. But we might get a reward if we return the ring to the temple.

Gathers up the leather armor strapping it to his pack with rope and heads to the next hallway. Trying to be quiet and stealthy. Bow in hand.

Long Jump RAW When you make a long jump, you cover a number of feet up to your Strength score if you move at least 10 feet on foot immediately before the jump. When you make a standing long jump, you can leap only half that distance. Either way, each foot you clear on the jump costs a foot of movement.

My rulng here: A medium size creature with a Speed 20' or greater as well as STR 10 or greater can jump this automatically when not under pressure. (Skill check applies if combat or similar ensues.)
