You forgot the extra 2d10 v undead, again. But this is more than enough damage anyway. A search of the room where the ghouls where hiding reveals nothing of interest.
Fah'lin gets back into his armour then it's up the stairs to the north around the corner and there is a door. Listening and checking finds nothing of interest. Your meat shield opens it to reveal a 20' by 80' room with another door to the north at the far end. At each door there is a 10' wide area of plain stone floor then a trench about 5' wide and and of unspecified depth. Between the trenches the floor and walls are of a silvery mirrored hue. They appear completely flat and featureless.
Fah'lin picks up a pair of stones. He looks to his allies and proceeds if there are no objections.
... He tosses one down the pit. Then the other onto the mirror shined floor.
The one in the pit falls for a bit and then goes *clank*, it hit metal after a shortish fall. The one you tossed onto the silver surface hit and slid... and slid... and slid... and slid... and slid... and slid... all the way to the far trench and falls in. It wasn't a straight throw so it did bounce of a wall with no discernible change of speed.
Fah'lin hands the other end to Gijigume and hops out onto the frictionless surface on his knees, controlling his speed and direction with the rope.
I'll need a DC 20 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. The surface is completely friction-less so every reflex you have will cause you to do the wrong thing.
There is no 'hops out'. You jump over the trench, you fall down. You try to get onto your knees but can't. You aren't going in a straight line to the other side so you drag the crowbar out of the other trench. Gijigume tries to slow you and ends up bringing you to a halt and you're stuck. See how it works.
Fah'lin tugs the rope to retrieve the crowbar and hurls it again, hoping to get a better purchase on the other side.
There is nothing to hook it on. And how long are these ropes? It's 55' from where you are standing to the close edge of the far trench. Looking down into the close one you see that it is 10' deep and the ground is covered with sharp spikes that look a little odd. Like they are rusty or something. Or is that dried blood, its hard to tell from a distance.
Aeliarin can Levitate someone. Then that person can drag us along one by one with a rope (pushing against the ceiling for side-to-side motion).
Good idea except:
"Magic that augments movement (such as fly, jump, and levitate) and teleportation effects do not work in this room." So no Fey Step either.
Arya "Assuming the pit on the other side is the same depth we send someone sliding across, they fall in the pit and take whatever damage. Then they catch each person after them as they slide across and boost them onto the other side. Cast a cure and then get on with our lives.
Bet you I could go across standing and then squat down and jump up as I reached the far end to get across the trench, it's only 5'." Arya does have a rather inflated opinion of her own skills.
Thar, looking like he is doing calculations ponders, "Well if the floor is truly friction-less and if you had enough pace could one not just run and dive over the first pit onto the floor, slide across and almost fly over the second pit. It is only 5' wide and you should be able to at least get most of your body onto the stone floor section and then pull yourself up. Or, of course, it could be funny to watch if it doesn't work!"
"Hmm, perhaps Owly could help us here," muses Gijigume, "but there's nothing to tie a rope to."
Arya gives a Thar a high 5 “Who knew, the wizard actually has a sense of humour... though Igneous can run freakishly fast.” She taps Gijigume on the shoulder and points at the door they came in through. It has a handle “You could tie a rope to that, the far end door is probably the same.”

"Ooo, slippy," says Gijugume, "how are we going to ge across that, without flying?"
Arya “Well Thar can fly, is it ever that simple?”
"There's always rope." Fah'lin offers.
He'll try and slippy the the crowbar Across with two ropes attached to reach the opposite side. "Save the spell for a more vertical challenge?"

I think I understood that. So the crowbar is dangling in the trench at the far side with two ropes attached to it. Now what?

(The ropes are 50', is why he used two.)
