I was just about to offer up Felicity's rope but realized something. Her rope is used for tying on the wings to the broom.
So you can only make one 100' section for repelling. You could tie the other 50' rope and someone could just use their hands to climb down it. That'll be a DC15 athletics and you'd have to leave the rope behind.
(So can we just use my harness, make 100 feet of rope for repelling... and then have people hang on my back on the way down and then I climb back up alone and take the next person down? Or Someone fly down and when I climb back up I take the broom back up with me? so another person can climb down.)
Rend will fashion a 100ft rope and attach his harness to the rope. "Who is jumping on my back!" The kobold would shout as he prepares to descend down the cliff.
Where you guys are looks something like this from the bottom. It's wider but in terms of the overhanging nature it gives you an idea. Everything is undercut from the water.
"Ok... well here is the deal. I am going to go down and once I am at the bottom, I am going to tie my harness to the end of the rope. Then you can put it on and come down and send the harness back up to whoever wants it... and ya know what! you can tie the damn broom to the end too so someone else can climb down. I am heading down! Tessa doesn't have time for us to just sit on this cliff all day" Rend would say eager to get going as he disappears over the ledge and tries to quickly repel down the cliff face.
(I have a plus 9 to athletics soo that is why I was wanting to carry people lol)
"Alright! We all down now and safe?" Rend would say looking to the others. "Now lets go explore that lair!" the kobold would shout heading off towards where the steam was spotted.
Alrighty. Everyone is down safe and climbing gear re-packed and you start making your way off in the direction of where you saw the steam coming from. It's slow going as your traveling over difficult terrain. The racks that have fallen from the cliffs over time makes for tough travel as you're constantly having to watch your footing as rocks shift as you climb over them and you have to make your way around some pretty large hunks of rock.
(Guessing we're doing a similar marching order layout as before. I think it was Rend and J'Anna out front with Halizthan holding back a bit and Felicity on rearguard? Does that sound right?)
Anyone want to do any looking out on the way? Investigate, perceptionigate, etc?

Or figure out other solutions.
That's what happens when you wear a helmet your whole life!
My house rules
J'Anna pulls out her rope and hands it to Rend..."Here is another 50' of rope"she says.

OOC: so its athletics dc 10 with rope and dc 15 without the rope?
Rend will fashion a 100ft rope and attach his harness to the rope. "Who is jumping on my back!" The kobold would shout as he prepares to descend down the cliff.
(No dc10 with the harness and rope, dc15 with just the rope climbing down the rope by hand)
Someone trying to free climb this with the overhang would be really tough DC25

"Who is jumping on my back and who is taking the broom down?" Rend will ask the group.
Pretty sure Felicity would no way ride on your back :) She says "Not me. I'll just climb down the rope, or wait on the broom"

"I would get on but I'm not sure the rope will hold both of us at the same time,I'm pretty heavy with the armor and all.."J'Anna says
"Ok... well here is the deal. I am going to go down and once I am at the bottom, I am going to tie my harness to the end of the rope.

Athletics! 22
Rend, you zoom down like a pro with no issue at all and haul the rope back up with the harness attached.
That's what happens when you wear a helmet your whole life!
My house rules
J'Anna straps in after pulling the rope up and begins her decent...
Athletics: 22
then unharnesses so it can go up again
(Sorry if Rend is being impatient, I am just trying to help get the group moving :D)
(All good. I'm glad to keep on moving on. Rend is also impatient to complete Tessa's quest so it's in character :)
J'Anna also drops down off the cliff like a pro and makes it down with no problem. She send the harness back up to Felicity.
Felicity offers the broom to Halizthan and speaks the command word. She gets the harness on and drops off the edge.
Athletics: 12

Felicity is not as graceful getting down and goes with jerks and stops but none the less she makes it down to safety.
That's what happens when you wear a helmet your whole life!
My house rules
Halizthan will gladly take the broom so thst he can get down ahead of them, keeping his taff gripped tightly while one hand hold onto the broom.

Rend will lead the way, always wanting to put himself between threats and his companions.
