Savage Harvest- adventure thread

"You okay Shariel?" Sasha calls out again, trying to see what happened to the elf.

"Sure." Sasha says to Will, taking a torch and a tinderbox from her backpack and gives them to him. "Be careful alright." She says, patting him on the back as he goes down into the well.

William nods a thank you, takes the torch and goes down the well. He is a little more daring and parkours down.

Acrobatics: 17

"William!  Wait your turn!" Gerty spats at him as he pushes her out of the way.  Once he's down, she grabs the rope and starts heading down herself.

Luke scans the surrounding woods, his hunting experience has given him a good feel for woods. He spots a solitary crow in a nearby tree, seemingly watching the two leg’s activity around the old well. Everything seems at peace, just another day in the forest. The sunlight cascades through the branches and there are a few leaves fluttering to the ground as the signs of autumn are becoming more and more apparent

With astonishing agility, William bounces down from wall to wall and makes it down the full length coming to rest neatly next to opening at the bottom. Once he lights the torch, it becomes clear the boot must have come from Mikel as it is in good shape. There is a small bit of blood on the rubble and a clear impression where a boy sized body must have impacted. Strangely, there are a lot of footprints going in and out of the this opening which seems to have been dug rather recently.

Everyone else make a acrobatics or athletic check to descend into the well safely

Gerty tries and descends the rope

Athletics 20

There's blood! I can see where he fell... and footprints... must be the Gr... errr... Goblins! Quick! This way!

Sasha takes the rope and rappels/dances down into the well.
Acrobatics: 13

Gerty comes zipping down the rope in similar fashion to Shariel. You can almost see the smoke from her hands.

When it's her turn, Rikaria descends the rope as quick as she can. Especially after William's proclamation that he sees blood. 

Acrobatics: 6

(This is the most consistently low rolling party I've ever been a part of)

Rikaria follows closely after Gerty and lands on top. Both falling prone onto the floor

2 dmg to Rikaria, and an extra bruise for Gerty 

As Sasha gets down she lights a torch of her own and looks around. "Gerty, Rik, you alright?" She says kneeling by her friends.
"Hold up Will, let's go together, you don't want to face those goblins on your own."

You can hear the cawing of the crow, which sounds uncannily like laughter as the group piles into the well. 

Rikaria's hands are shaking so from anxiety that she soon loses her grip on the rope. Not to mention her poor choice of outfit for climbing ropes and rescuing children. If she'd known she'd be participating in heroics today, she would've worn pants. 

With a short shriek she tumblrs on top of Gerty. She finds herself sprawled out on top of the dwarf. Blushing furiously, she jumps to her feet blathering an apology and trying to help her to her feet. She barely even notices the pain in her own back side from sheer embarrassment! 

Will you guys stop fooling around? This is serious!

With the light of 2 torches you can see down the roughly hewn tunnel. Bits of root stick down from the ceiling. The tunnel goes quite a ways, the end not clear from this vantage point. The earth seems dry at least, and it smells earthy, with a hint of rotted vegetation.

(will need to establish a marching order from this point)

“Oh YOU’RE one to talk,” Rikaria says acidly to William.

(With the lowest hit points in the group even BEFORE she took falling damage, no dark vision, and a ranged weapon, Rikaria should definitely stay towards the center of the group. I'll say she goes 4th.)

"Oof!!" Escapes Gerty as Rikaria lands on her back.  Rikaria surprises her with how fast she gets up, and Gerty follows suit, knowing the seriousness of it, "I know, William, its not like we fell on purpose!"

"Ah, so there's the tunnel, let's get going."  

(Gerty is good with going first, or second if someone else wants to take the lead.  Shariel,  you have an amazing AC for not wearing armor - if you want to go first and Gerty follows?)

William is too worried to care about anything Rikaria says. He pats Gerty on the back a gestures her to lead on. He follows behind her. Determined!

(2nd in the marching order)

(Suggested marching order then: Shariel, Will, Gerty, Rik, Luke and Sasha)

Sasha follows cautiosly at the rear, kepping a good look out for goblins and their traps.
