Act 1, Scene 4: "Eroding the Wetrocks" (Main Game Thread)

[Nocturno]

Nocturno walks with Elden, making sure he keeps up. And then stands watch, and offers to carry any bags of loot.

[Chris1234]

He isn't that muscley so Linar is more than happy for Nocturno to carry bags of loot.

[TristenC]

The party gathers with the freed prisoners in the open area before the long passage to the Bear den. Katten moves off to inspect the area.

[Is anyone else going with her?]
====
There is the pit to cross and then the wide chamber the bear stayed in beyond.
Where/how would Katten like to search?

[Jenara]

(Is there a map by any chance?)

[TristenC]

===
sure

[Chris1234]

Linar quietly follows ten foot behind Katten but will fall back to guard the ex-prisoners if she wants him to.

======
Do we know what is down the pit?
And if the pit is not inhabited, has it been searched?

[TristenC]

[the pit has only been observed from above. Visible from floor level are bones and sticks but no one has climbed down to inspect]

[Chris1234]

======
TY

[Jenara]

"Watch your backs." She speaks in Elven, grabbing Earthaniel's arm, "We need to talk later."

"You watch backs, I go. Need keen eyes."

(How deep is the drop?)

[Chris1234]

Linar covers Katten's dscent with his bow and will try to shoot anything that goes to attack her.

[TristenC]

[about 20 ft, tapering as it goes down. it is a natural fissure]

[Nocturno]

Nocturno watches as they proceed.

[Jenara]

Placing her bow in its Quiver Katten begins to desend, drawing a dagger as she reaches the base, and heads carefully, testing her footing as she approaches the central pillar.

[TristenC]

====
I'm a bit confused about Katten's action here. She descends or she goes into the room beyond?

Descending only leads to the pit which appears to be a dead end from ground level. Progressing to the room beyond (with the central pillar) requires crossing which she can leap over (strength check) or climb past (climb check)

I suppose she could climb down into the pit and up the other side but i would still need a climb check

[Jenara]

My mistake! Misread the map.

She scales down the pit quite easily.

Climb check [1d100] = 23
