"Well, the lizard is right. We should search this cavern for something to eat and then press on at a faster pace. There is a good chance that something is following us.", Arthasis said. The warlock then looked towards the tunnel further ahead befor continuing, "Nobody knows where any of these tunnels will lead us. Just pick one and pray its the right decision."
Winded yet curiously invigorated, Cade carefully treated the damaged one as well as he could in transit with torn cloth and good 'ol goblin spit. And as far as the choice of paths go, as soon as Crispy voices her opinion, he goes from passively scanning the choices to sighing and marching down towards the southern path. "Then we best not bother pausing at these sort of places for awhile."Is all he'll bother to say.
Meanwhile, the Kuo-toa -- having long since re-awoken to reality after the battle had concluded -- is quiet, and meets any glance in his direction with a faintest of smiles and blissful eyes.

The group would ultimately press forward, moving slow enough that Immo could seek some kind of food for the group, his eyes peeled as they press forward. 17
He would manage to find several smaller fungi intermingled with the lichen adding enough to their supplies to give them a total of four peoples worth of rations. Bringing their total to 23.
As the party seemed to be heading southward along the path that stayed the same elevation it turned and careened, left and right, the same monotone stone with little to nothing inside. After six hours of walking through thin tunnels, so thin that Chubby could barely make it through, it opened a bit more, turning hard to the right, and heading almost directly northward, with an westerly angle.
Cade was dragging behind severely, his exhaustion, from not eating or sleeping was going to get much worse very soon. All in all his pace had been slowing everyone down for the last three hours or more. Just as this realization would hit everyone, the cave would open up even more, they were in an almost-sphere of pure darkness, as the left side of the tunnel opened up to a yawning chasm on the left half, with sheer cliffs all around. It was impossible to see beyond maybe five feet, unless you had darkvision. The path you were on thinning to just a little more than a foothold against the cliff wall.
Do you proceed? if so, everyone will need to make dexterity(Acrobatics) checks, and will periodically have to make them again, as requested.

Arthasis didn't like the sight of the chasm, which basically blocked their advance. Even though there was a narrow ridge that they could move along, he almost could visiualize one of these morons falling to an early death. But they hadn't made too much progess in the last hours, hence turning back wasn't realy an option as they could very vell run into drow chasing them. "You are slowing us down creature! We don't have the time to make allowances for you.", Arthasis announced to the goblin before adressing the rest. "What do you say? Let's push on, we have to keep moving ahead."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Cade doesn't say anything. He doesn't even bother dignifying Arthasis's caustic complaints with a glance. He just kept his eyes mostly on the ground or at people's feet, and focus on just breathing and moving. Thus, when the group finally got to the cliff and talk started again, the goblin just shuffles tiredly past those that don't move immediately for the thinning path and starts shuffling his way along.
Shuushar, on the other hand, appears on the verge of saying something at one point. But, he stops short, cants his head at Arthasis, then simply clasped his hands together and patiently waited his turn to climb along the wall. Preferably while sticking to the middle of the group.

"Shit." She whispered. "Here we go."
Acrobatics: 17
While nothing spectacular, Crispy manages to keep her grip while traversing the ledge. Trying not to look down, she focused at the task at hand and prayed that Chubby would make it too.

"Well, our ideas keep reaching new heights." Evrik says. Taking a deep breath, and whispering a quick prayer that everyone keeps a sure footing, he steps out onto the ledge. (Acrobatics: 1)
One step at a time, he thinks to himself trying to focus only the stone against his palms and keeping the dark chasm below as far out of his mind as possible.
Eldreth would make her way onto the platform just after Shuushar, pursing her lips as she looked down into ever more black. "Well, atleast we cannae see the bottom eh? makes it slightly less jarring i... s'pose?" placing her hands on the wall, with her heels into the nook of the cliff.,
Acrobatics: 18
with a sudden hiss, Eldreth's heel would slip out from under her "SHIIITEEEEE" her body spinning around, her hand desperately trying to grasp the ledge as her heart pounded in her chest, eyes wide with terror...
Dexterity Acrobatics: 9
Her hand slamming awkwardly against the edge of the rock, weakening her grip.... she began to slip.....
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
"****!" Crispy barks as she pops her head in the direction of Eldreth, watching her slip. Instinctively, Crispy reaches down and tries to grab her wrist.
Acrobatics: 7
Then with all the strength she could muster, tried to pull her up.
Athletics: 16
"NONONO!" Crispy cried as her arm muscles refused to obey, the dwarf was too heavy, and something in her shoulder tore against the sudden weight. She gritted her teeth hard and screamed through the pain, but she didn't let go. Crispy's footing began to give as waves of pain shot into her brain from her shoulder, protesting in the worst way possible.
Crispy would manage to catch her, and for a moment, everything was fine, but Eldreths weight proved too much and crispy herself started to fall, pulled over by gravity.
Cade doesn't even hesitate. Despite everything between them, he scrabbles to try and make grab for a dwarf holding Crispy. But... it doesn't go well. Not even remotely.

Chubby's acrobatics check: 16
Chubby turns around and notices both Eldrith and Crispy slipping and falling, and in doing so, doesn't really pay attention to where the heck he was walking, and he starts to slip off the edge himself.
Dexterity acrobatics to catch himself from falling: 10, using his Inspiration point (aka seeing his girl starting to slip inspired him to make an extra effort in catching himself from falling down).
Boom - with that nat20, he easily catches his fall, and doing a one-pinky pullup, manages to lift himself easily back up to the ledge.
He'll then edge his way backwards to see if he can lend a hand with CrispyEldrith:
Athletics check to lift them both back up: 17
Straining against their combined weight, he manages to grunt out "ggrrrrrrrrrr....Crispy, what....the....hell.....did....you....eat....today?! Everyone, HELP!"
As Cade attempted to grab Crispy's hand, he tripped over his own ankle and flew over the edge too fast for anyone to even be able to try to catch him.
Eldreth screamed a dreadful wail, as she fell into the darkness "Nooooooooooooooooo" her voice eventually just being an echo against the cavern walls as she was swallowed by the Abyssal darkness.
Scared as hell, Chubby calls out into the darkness “CRISPY!?!! ELDRITH?!?!?! CADE(grumpy dude who hasn’t said his name yet)!?!!?!?......CRISPY?!” Tears start running down his face.
How wide is the ledge we’re on? And with Chubby’s dark vision, can he see the bottom of this chasm?
Immotichey is just about to transform into something that can easy traverse the ledge. Then in a horrible chain reaction, three fall into the darkness below. With a growl he shouts to the others, "I will return soon! Don't go far!" Hoping the distance from the drow will not interfere with his form again, he transforms into a giant wolf spider and begins to scurry down the wall to see if he can discover the fate of their fallen companions.
Evrik leans closer to the stone wall, heart racing as he hears the disappearing screams fall into the dark below. His mind races, Stay focused. If they can be helped, it can only be done if we survive now. One step at a time he reminds himself. Very carefully, he glances over his shoulder to see what he can make out in the dim light but all he can detect is the ledge, and the few folks nearby. (Perception: 6)
Immo does so, managing to get about a quarter of the distance down before once again, he would feel the same embrace over his mind as he had before. It's grip sliding over his mind. And unbearable bloodlust started to overcome him once more, all of it directed at Arthasis. Even through the darkness, Arthasis glowed like a lighthouse tower would near a village.. a beacon to be murdered.
His body began to turn around as the other personality took over..... "Welcome back.... my slave. I knew you would not be gone long...Embrace the abyss." the most cunning, evil voice echoed in his head. "Just.. give in.."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
He just knew that would happen and before long three of the other prisoners plunged into the depths below. Arthasis lost sight of them almost immediately and soon only their desperate shouts could be heard. “That’s just great.”, he muttered while pressing himself a little further against the wall behind him. The situation was getting dire and if the balancing act on the proverbial knife’s edge did not get his adrenalin pumping, the demise of three group members most certainly would. Not because he felt a lot of sympathy for them but rather because their demise showed him his own potential fate.
The situation though would quickly turn from bad to worse as the lizardman turned into a spider, presumably trying to climb after the others. By the looks of it he soon had other plans as he came charging towards the warlock. “Oh, That’s just great.”, his voice echoing in the cavern.

With something control this form again of his, Immotichey heads directly for the source of this desire that is now within him. The spider skitters up the wall, covering about half the distance between them. The lust within the beast is apparent as the venom can be seen dripping from its mandibles.
