I am assuming the clear spot of ground is probably a trap of some kind. Why the gnomes are staying silent is still a mystery.
If it is a trap, does Skameros get Advantage on the the DEX save, due to his barbarian "Danger Sense"? (Hopefully he can get a better than "4" result on another roll.)

(The party can choose to climb down into the pit, cross and climb out. The only potential danger for doing so would be coming in contact with the substance coating the spikes. The alternative is to make a DEX check to shim along the 2 foot lip without falling uncontrolled into the pit)
What are Rodolfo and Grithnik going to do? I'm fine with shim-ing.
Or... have Beegred climb down, use the magic scimitar to cut down and push aside the poisoned spikes, to clear a path for the other two. That puts Beegred at greater risk, but if that results in no risk for the two spell-casters, probably worth it.
What sayest the party?

If Rodolfo and Grithik are going to shimmy along the lip instead of climbing down into the pit, then make DC 10 DEX checks (with advantage if using the rope held by Skameros and Beegred)
So Grithik would have gotten a 9 for the DC 10 save, if he didn't have advantage.
Skameros definitely made a smart decision with that rope!

I'd also like to think that because Beegred crit his - that while he was holding the rope - Skameros may have tugged a bit too hard and helped yank him across the gap :P
... did you guys just get peed on? Divinely?

Nah, just Skameros. He's into that kind of stuff.
Apparently, the above roughly translates into Celestial as, "Cover in Urine give me your blessing?"
Or the gods have a sense of humor?
This is a judgement free zone - no kink shaming :P

Danger sense is effects you can see so like fireballs - I don't think it counts for hidden traps
however at least I guessed correctly - even if the dice want to kill me still :P
Waiting for the dice rolls to actually resolve before posting.

I don't know how to rule for a trap being something you can see? So I rolled again, and the dice decided to let Skameros fall.
So Skameros refused the gnome's extended hand?
And you climbed out of the pit on the south side (back towards your group) or on the north side (towards the two gnomes)?
Correct - he is mad at the gnomes now - but he would have climbed out on north side since he was trying to head that way originally.

The risk involved with climbing down and crossing the pit will just be paid in time. No further rolls necessary.
If you are in a hurry and want to cross quickly, then we'll discuss.
Can we toss a rope across to help those who want to walk along the lip?

Sure, for advantage on the DEX check.
If Rodolfo and Grithik are going to shimmy along the lip instead of climbing down into the pit, then make DC 10 DEX checks (with advantage if using the rope held by Skameros and Beegred)
@Grithik:
DC10 DEX (with advantage if using rope) check OR climb down into the pit and then back out the other side?
So Grithik would have gotten a 9 for the DC 10 save, if he didn't have advantage.
Skameros definitely made a smart decision with that rope!
