At the mention of trolls, Halizthan will begin to let flames flicker in his hand. "So deal with these things with some fire or perhaps I could try some acid for a change of pace..."
"hmmm... I don't have any acid or fire abilities.... but I am sure a few stabs with the old spear should still be fine..." Rend would say with a smile, bouncing off ahead of the others on their path.
Rends smile would grow even bigger at J'Anna's words. The kobold would stand a little taller as he bounces towards the front, hoping to intercept any trolls before they reach the others.
I will do a map if you'd like but to give you a better idea the ravine is about 30' side to side. The floor is a mix of rocks and gravel with small shrubs scattered throughout. It looks like at some times of the year there's probably water that flows through here. The side with the ledge is the steeper of the 2 sides with the area around the ledge being mostly a sloped cliff face that would be difficult to climb unaided.
Rend is out front, I'm assuming Halizthan is in back. Anyone want to give me idea of how you're approaching? You still haven't seen any sign of movement on the ledge.
(I bought the climbing gear if people wanted to climb up and walk along the top... I am sure that would take a while and Rend isn't really smart enough to think of that but I am throwing it out there.)
Couldn't we tie a rope to the broom and it pulls us all up since it can carry 400lbs, or it can take one person up, secure a rope and lower it for the rest?
"I don't think the broom could get everyone across with a rope unless we went one at a time. I'm worried about the trolls and other things that might ambush so I'd like it if we were to cross in pairs at least." She points to Halizthan and J'Anna. "You two are the heaviest and biggest out of all of us. You should be the primary ones steering the broom when we cross."
Felicity looks at Rend. "As for us, it might be a tad risky but we could easily fit inside my Bag of Holding. J'anna or Halizthan would hold the bag with us inside as they cross. Whether we stick our head out or are completely inside, crossing should only take a few minutes."
"I don't like the idea of isolating any one of us around here since we don't know what could be lying in wait. We also don't know what could happen if we tried to climb. This way we could always have two at a time as we cross"
"uhhh... I... umm.. I don't think I want to climb into that bag... Ya know what, I am sure this is going to be fine.." Rend will say as he picks up his pace walking down the ravine.
(I was thinking we are just walking inbetween to tall cliffs, not going across a ravine but through a ravine. I was suggesting that instead of travling in the scary ravine where it would be easy to get ambushed we could climb up the cliff face and walk along the top.... I might be confused though)
"Perhaps we should stay together with out weapons or magic at the ready." Halizthan says as he holds his staff higher as he prepares to cast at anything that looks at all like a threat to them.
Sorry, just catching up on all the post now. It may be a mute point as Rend is still walking down the ravine. (sorry didn't see that before)
While you are all discussing a plan you all catch something from the corner of your eye. You see, on the side that doesn't have the ledge, a troll doing a very bad job of hiding. He's trying to sprint from rock to bush and is dislodging gravel as he goes that rolls down the ravine. He has a very large rock in his hand. He is about 40' away and 15' up the shallower left side of the ravine. Rend is about 15' closer.

“Trolls huh... at least my fire attacks will work for a change...”
"hmmm... I don't have any acid or fire abilities.... but I am sure a few stabs with the old spear should still be fine..." Rend would say with a smile, bouncing off ahead of the others on their path.
"I am sure it will be Rend, espically the way you wield that spear!!!" J'Anna says to her koblod friend knowing he likes to be appreciated, and he is.
Rends smile would grow even bigger at J'Anna's words. The kobold would stand a little taller as he bounces towards the front, hoping to intercept any trolls before they reach the others.

Felicity goes into the bag and pokes her head out. "Well? Who's carrying me?"

(have a lot going on today so can't post much but don't you have dragon wings tied to the broom?)

(yeah which is why i was concerned about weight. We'd have to split and go one at a time)
You can try to make your way around the revine entirely. It was just the path of least resistance at the time going in the direction you're headed.

(Lol didn't think of that...Anyway I'm already in my bag looking like a purse poodle-cat. Will go all the way in if that doesn't change my weight)
Rend is walking right into the ravine, he will carry the cat purse if no one else wants to do it lol

Halizthan will move quickly to try and blast the fleeing troll with a Firebolt. "Kill it before it has a chance to get away!"
Firebolt: Attack: 23 Damage: 19
