Artanis' words will focus Pyros. He will stand just behind Artanis glaring at the trapped wolf with his hardest face. If you listen carefully you would swear you heard a small constant growl.

"Thank you Elsa, I appreciate it." Squeezing the Cleric softly. "And.. Jerry is it? Nice timing." Mira staggers and wipes the dagger on her ripped blouse, reaching down she grabs the discarded blade and moves over to Pyros.

"Master Pyros.. Your bravery is appreciated." Grabbing him she wraps her arms around the Kender, mashing the back of his head into her chest for a brief moment.

"Right, we move, quickly.." Staggering she moves to the rope, grabbing tight. "Elsa, I'll help you up in a moment." She smiles. "Art, cover us.."

Thief skill [1d100] = 47 easy pass

(He turned around. Lol)

Jerry begins her healing spell for the halfling. As she reaches out to Mystara she feels a... dulling in the connection. It was almost as if a wall of clouds separated her from her goddess... clouds... or fog... Yet the healing power entered her hand, though she could not be certain that it was her lady who had answered; but who else would respond to her call to Mystra? He healing passed from her glowing hand into the halfling, sealing away a small wound. Oh! You're a cleric too! Thank you! My name is Elsa. Once we are safe inside I can do a lot more for the group but your help is certainly appreciated! The small woman, though previously near death and weary from battle, is still remarkably cheerful. Elsa gets to her feet and fetches Mira's dropped sword as the group makes their way to the inn.

They soon see Merrick waving from a window with a rope hanging down. Artanis and Pyros cover the rear, and the wolf is still entangled by the time they reach the wall.

--------
2 people can ascend this rope in 1 round, rogues can climb in half that time. Let me know who is going first and post your climbing rolls or let me know if you want me to roll for you.

[Climb checks:
>95% always fails. I'll determine that result of a failure.
rogues use their climb wall skill and can add 55% to the roll for the rope/wall combo.
Anyone injured gets -10%.
Base chance is 40%, no penalty for elves/half-elves
small folk get penalties for race but cal and pyros already have those figured in.
Dex doesn't affect climbing skill
Armor makes it harder (-30% for leather/studded leather)
So far elsa has the worst: 40 -15(race) +55 (rope and wall) - 25 (chain) -10 (injured) => 45% chance!
Artanis' chance is: 40 +55 (rope and wall) - 30 (armor) -10 (injured) => 55% ]

(Mira has a pretty good chance, can she help Elsa climb?)

"You're welcome, Elsa. Only barely a cleric, to be honest, but it is Mystra that I serve. And you?" Jerry replies quietly, then adding, "And Merrick has been good, but it's a relief to find more people that speak a language that I understand."
Jerry will go up third or later, meanwhile casting a spell (CLW) on whoever remains on the ground out of Elsa*, Mira or Artanis (in that order of preference, *assuming that Elsa is still more damaged than Mira.)

Pyros will scoops up his Hoopak, and give it a hug on the way to the inn.

"Up you go everyone!"
Pyros will go last. Giving anyone who is starting to climb to hand or head to jump up on.

cross will pat the kender on the back and stand fast with him. waiting to go up once the injured and healers are up then he will go

"Elsa you are coming up with me." The Bard Smiles, "I'm not letting you out of my sight."

Post by **TristenC** » Tue Aug 23, 2016 3:43 pm

Elsa smiles despite the blood, You did well enough to heal me. Mystra, I've never heard of her... the halfling gods are different, though. Here, She closes her eyes, Yondalla, please provide us with your healing light. her hand glows and she passes it over the worst of her wounds which knits itself together. She takes a deep, less pained breath. Cal should go first... ummm... Cal?

A voice from the air nearby, Ok, but you'd better be right behind me. I'm not leaving you down there. The rope shakes as the invisible gnome quickly scales the rope. Merrick stands ready to aid those climbing once they near the top. Jerry casts another healing spell, this time bolstering the bard before the climb. The majority of Mira's wounds close, particularly those around her leg and hip.

Elsa takes the rope with Mira close behind, holding and helping the weighed-down halfling. Once to the window, Merrick helps her inside. Mira quickly follows. Suddenly Artanis' attention anaps to the wolf that had been entangled as his spell ends!

[ooc: When Artanis speaks Jerry recognizes the common language of Faerun!
Lol, thanks Jen. Long day, I totally blanked on the theif skill roll you made being a climb check.]
------
Elsa casts cure light wounds on herself [1d8] = 6. Elsa improves to Hurt Badly
Jerry cure light wounds on Mira [1d8] = 8: Mira improves to Hurt Badly [14/20]. She will be only Hurt at 15/20.

Cal climbs: need 45 +55 -10 = 90 or less: [1d100] = 67. Pass!
Mira climbs: need 95 or less: [1d100] = 46. Pass!
Mira aids Elsa: need 45+10 = 55 or less: [1d100] = 42. Pass! <whew>

"Get up here now!" Mira shouts, her breathing easier as she gives Merrick a little hug. "I... Get it now." She sighs.

Not needing to be told twice, Jerry tries to climb up.

Post by **TristenC** » Wed Aug 24, 2016 5:28 am

The wolf pads towards the party, stoping half way at 50 yards to watch them. The bard urges the others to hurry, and Jerry quickly complies. Merrick pats Mira comfortingly on the back, making soothing sounds. You're safe now. Let's get the others up here. Jerry makes it most of the way up the rope before her hands begin to burn like fire! Through force of will she makes them keep going until Merrick and Mira can reach her to haul her up.

Artanis looks at the wolf, his short bow ready now, and looks up to the rope. Let's see if we can't deter our 'friend' there from coming closer... He fires a single arrow near the wolf. The shaft clatters sharply to the ground right next to the beast! The massive canine gives a quick shake, and trots off the street. The ranger packs his bow away and looks dubiously up at the rope. Weary though he is, Artanis makes short work of the climb and rolls in through the window over the ledge. He takes out his bow preparing to cover the others.

Elsa calls upon Yondalla again and lays another healing spell on Mira, healing all but a single small scratch.

------
jerry climb check [1d100] = 89: Pass! <wow. Good thing she has a 95%...>

Artanis climb check: need 55% or less [1d100] = 17: Pass!

Elsa casts cure light wounds on Mira [1d8] = 5: Mira improves to Barely Scratched [19/20].

Pyros will go pick up the arrow, then head up the rope.

Wall Climbin': [1d100] = 20

If not already done or too late, Jerry tries to administer first aid to Artanis . {OOC: Healing (12), Herbalism (17)}
"I'm Jerry. By your accent, you're a Faerunian too?"

Rivi · Post by **Rivi** » Wed Aug 24, 2016 12:18 pm

cross will head up the rope as soon as pyros gets back with the arrow unwilling to leave him that far away without backup on the ground
