"Hi Raza!" she turned and beamed a big smile at you. "Sure, I don't mind! I love being on her shoulders! Great idea!"

Daewen plugs her nose dramatically, telling others that she’s disgusted by the aromas in this cavern. None the less, she puts on a brave face and follows Neph into the cavern, bravely scouting ahead of the rest of the group. 

Zhi lets out another of his passive-aggressive sighs. He doesn’t like water. Clearly. Even worse, he ran the risk of slipping and flowing down into the river below. He extends a clawed hand and attempts to part the waterfall in a 5’ area so the path ahead is clear (shape water). 

Meanwhile, the Arcane Eye continues scouting ahead - going in ascending order of numbers for simplicity (5, 6, 7, etc). The spell lasts an hour, so it’s up to you, Crispy, how much it’ll see. 

Quote from Isacaar >>

Crystal takes a look at the waterfall slope trying to decipher how dangerous it is.  "Once we get past all this water, I would suggest the road less traveled, possibly to the North" she looks back to Doc "What say say you Doc?"

Aroraception of Waterslope area: 12

"This place seems so large that it's tough to say what path might be best.  But your thought seems as good as any as starting point."  Stepping up to try and get a closer look at the path before them.  Doc turns to the others (but particularly the fit and mobile people of the party) and asks, "Any thoughts on how best to get down besides taking it slow?"  

(OOC: Just curious, does Doc notice anything with his special eyes?)  

Doc, that's a negative. Zhi, you basically see an endless fungal forest. What would you guys like to do?

Arora proceeds to the water challenge in front of her and will attempt to start crossing.

As long as the spell is active, you don't have to make any rolls to descend down the path of the waterfall.

Neph accompanies Arora, hoping this doesn't turn into a waterslide adventure.  He whispers, "Remember Arora, if you start to slide, cross your legs, otherwise you will end up with an enema-like situation.  It is hard to use your bow and send an arrow true when you have a rectum full of river water.  Not that I have any experience in this matter.  Just ah friend told me that it could happen..."  He turns back and gently starts to make his way down.  

"Water. Why is it always water?!" Kasha pleaded to someone in the sky.

Daewen quickly scrambles down, directly behind Kasha.  It's not the water per se that scares her...it's the fear of the unknown things in the water that gives her pause.

Arora blurts out laughing at Neph’s comment. “So, now I’m curious, when did you go sliding and get a rectum full of water?” She asks as she slowly makes her way down the path and to the ?edge? By the pool?

"Ha! He said rectum!" Kasha laughed to herself.

Let's go down the river everyone. 

Raza follows the group down, grimacing at Neph's comment.  That sounded extremely uncomfortable.

Wow! This cavern is definitely interesting, and Mock is pumped to get to explore it. Her eyes are wide as she looks around, gaping at their surroundings. As they approach the waterfall, she's practically vibrating with excitement, her tail flicking back and forth and smacking anyone too close. That being said, she does make sure to keep an eye on both Kasha and Daewen as they descend, offering a piggyback ride to either, should they so desire. She'd offer it to Zhi, too, if she wasn't so sure he'd try and attack her for the offense.

Kasha climbs on Mocks shoulders, giving her a big bite on the shoulder as a hello. And maybe thanks. She wraps her arms around your neck just in case. Those who have indicated so begin to descend through the path that Zhi created.

However, even though there is no water where you step, it's slippery. So, let's have everyone who is walking on their own account make a DC13 STR check at advantage.

Neph holds on to Arora’s arm and they attempt to balance each other as they descend.  “No, not me, a friend of mine.  He had been on a fourth story apartment making a ah, acquisition from a locked jewelry box when he got startled from some noise on a lower floor, felt like someone was home who shouldn’t be let’s say.  He came out the window onto a landing, it was raining and he decided to go down a rain water drain on the side of the building, it was just like a water slide.  He apparently didn’t position his legs just right, when he got to the ground he had a wholly different kind of urgency rather than just running from the authorities.”  Neph grins and snorts a little as he recounts the tale.  

One of Zhi's eyes twitch as the party continues to immaturely babble on about whatever. Zhi turns his snout upwards. He wouldn't descend to such low methods of conversation. 

"The offer is...appreciated, though it seems you are busy with Kasha," Zhi slowly replies to Mock's offer. Whether he is being snarky or genuine is difficult to tell. Zhi actually respected Mock - she isn't one for many words and actually got stuff done. The Orzhov wouldn't function without people like that. 

Unleashing another irritated sigh, Zhi ventures forth and attempts to cross the watery pathway. DC13 STR check: 18 - and, despite all presumable odds, Zhi manages to scamper forth across the rocks, showing surprising agility. Once out of view of everyone, Zhi winces. An effort like that would certainly leave him sore. Zhi hates being sore. 

Nephvir uses help from Arora as they help each other down the slope.  He feels slightly stronger suddenly and looks back to see the grinning (snarling?) face of Zhi pass them by.  

Strength check :  14 

Relieved to see Kasha on Mock's back she moves along the path able to make it with Zhi's help.  What?  Zhi helped?  Well, miracles do happen apparently!

Strength check 10

Guidance 4 

"Be careful everyone, this is slippery"

Aroraletics check: 16
