The Planar Prize [evil party] IC

[Ellas Aramond]

Hmmm, I wonder... he almost absent-mindedly says as he walks along the trap in question, prepared to Shadow Blink as a swift action if anything happened.

[kentma57]

OOC: shadow blink= short range telaport, and I assume you go to other side.

As "Ellas Aramond" walks across the trap door it drops away, in a flash "Ellas Aramond" ahs telaported across...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

[Only if the pit is 10' across or less:]

The dwarf shrugs, and motions for Deneb to clear the far side. At her urging the bear backs up, takes a run up, and leaps across the opening. The dwarf takes a moment to glance down into the hole.

the Bear's jump check: (1d20+20)[22]

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

"Wait," Svarg cautions as the bear prepares to jump. "You remember the thing that stopped jumpers last time? Better let someone who won't fall do it." Using the ring to assume humanoid shape so that his wings aren't too large to work, he glides across the pit, careful not to go too fast.

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

The dwarf happily gives place to the dragon.

But, Snark, do you HAVE wings in humanoid form? Since it's, you know. Humanoid.

[The_Snark]

I don't know, actually. The description implied that I might, since kentmas said identical stats except for size, which would include fly speed...

If not, it shouldn't be too much of a problem, though, because that means that he's large enough to grip both sides of the wall and sort of climb across.

[Toliudar]

The Snark:

I'd suggest doing that then - at least you're in your own form. With reach, you could essentially poke your nose out across the pit and make sure there are no barriers before stepping across.

[kentma57]

umm, sorry but; As Ursayk runs for the pit she(?) crashes iinto that invisible wall...

OOC: you may want to post new actions, feal free to dleat the old ones.

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

So, Svarg doesn't stop her in time?

What actions am I deleting? And how big IS this pit. Because I made my action contingent on it being 10' or less. If there's a wall of force down the middle of it, the bear would have to squeeze to get through anyway - which he most emphatically does NOT do. So the bear is then bracing himself above the pit, yes?

Waiting for clarification before posting action.

[kentma57]

The pit is 15 ft long, with a wall of force right on this edge(where most of the party is). Currently "Ellas Aramond" is on the other side.

Yes, "The Snark" does have wings(and a fly speed) in humanoid form.

Please kentma, just call me Ellas. I've found its easier on the tongue.

[Toliudar]

Kentma, please check my original post about the pit. It specifies "only if the pit is 10' or less across. So, I can ignore the jump?

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Wait, so I'm not across? Or did I miss something and this is another pit with another wall? Sorry if I seem somewhat inattentive, I've been distracted by this and that.

[kentma57]

Alright people seem confused the pit is 15ft long everyone is on the side leading into the room with the chest, with the exception of Ellas, and the bear did not jump.

Are there any questions?

[Toliudar]

Yup. What does Ursayk see if she carefully peers down the pit?

Thanks for the clarification.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik sighs as he scours his mind of all his arcane knowledge of the spells he has at his disposal and realizes there's only one course of action he's capable of.
"If I may do the honors, I can get rid of this one, too."

It is very deep and very dark...

I assume you use dissintigrate...

[Toliudar]

That may not be necessary.

Experimentally, Ursayk picks up a few pebbles. She tosses them into the pit with decreasing force - trying to determine how far down the Wall of Force goes by watching where/if the pebbles bounce back. As a bonus, she's trying to determine roughly how deep the pit is by the delay before there is any sound of landing.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Yeah, not using disintegrate yet. I have only so many 6th level spells.

[kentma57]

You don't hear the pebble hit the bottom...

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik scratches his chin as he floats. "Perhaps I could see the bottom for myself." He then proceeds to float down slowly and watch out for what lies at the bottom, if anything.

How long/far are you going to float down? Though it does not matter you don't find the bottom.

[Toliudar]

[I think the question was also "how far down the shaft does the wall of force extend"]

Ursayk examines the wall of the passage - is it worked stone, masonry with plaster, or featureless rock?

[kentma57]

[I think the question was also "how far down the shaft does the wall of force extend"]

You don't find the edge of the wall of force...
It just keeps going, and going, and going...

Ursayk examines the wall of the passage - is it worked stone, masonry with plaster, or featureless rock

It is solid rock that has been worked so smoothe it is almost imposible to grip...

[Toliudar]

Ursayk

Calling softly down to Rorrik, Ursayk says: If you'd rather save your spell, there's a chance we'll be able to dig around the pit instead.

[Krimm_Blackleaf]

Rorrik looks up. "Sounds like a plan, then!" and floats back up to the rest of the party.

[The_Snark]

Svargithurik

"It does. Past time we started doing something they won't expect. Now, stand back." Moving his head next to the wall, the drake inhales with a sound like a bellows, then breathes a wave of flame onto the stone. A strong smell of brimstone fills the air as Svarg inspects the wall; then he rears up, beating his wings rapidly, and begins tearing great chunks out of the stone with his claws.

Breath weapon damage: (10d6)[31]. Half that is fire damage, which is halved again for attacking an object, but the other half is profane damage.

The claws should hit pretty much automatically even with full Power Attack, dealing (1d6+32)[37], (1d6+32)[34], and then rend damage: (2d6+22)[30]. All attacks bypass hardness as if they were adamantine, thanks to the ring.

Edit- So that's 8 fire damage, subject to hardness, 16 profane damage, and a total of 101 from the attacks.

[kentma57]

hmm, I had not thought of that...

You claw/flame 5ft into the wall???

[The_Snark]

Spoiler

Yep. Obviously, if something strange happens, like acid pouring out of the walls, Svarg will stop.

[Toliudar]

Backing up hastily, Ursayk waits for the smoke to clear before she examines the results of Svarg's excavations.

Er. Quite. I actually meant "I could turn into an umber hulk" or something like that. But this was useful.
