There's most definitely someone or something trying to come through the tomb door!! It's clawing and pounding, it's faint through the stone but tge door is moving too slightly!!

Sometimes a Nat 1 tells a better story than a Nat 20 ever could.
"Nat you need to start climbing now, you can do it. One hand after the other, use your legs to hold you in place, you know the drill. Once you start moving I'll float up behind you and take some of your weight if it helps but we need to go now."
Duc wil do this once Nat gets underway (hopefully granting help)

Alici shouts down to them, "Nat, by the four winds, just grab on and shout when you're ready!" she turns to Retiog, "We'll get him out if we have to pull him up right?" she makes ready to pull the rope at Nat's signal.
[ooc : I'm going to be gone for most of the rest of the day, so I'm just going to toss my athletics roll in a spoiler. Feel free to bot Alici if necessary.]

"Help tie the rope around him," Retiog shouts down to Duc. Hearing the pounding getting louder from below, he allows the fury take over. "GET GOING!" He shouts to everyone.
Athletics (rage climbing, lol) 24
Once to the top, he turns to Alici. "Hit me! Have some payback!" he says through gritted teeth. (Damage to maintain rage.) "Tie him off and I will pull him up," he yells down to Duc. "Then get up here!"
Duc and Nat finally reach the top and find Gimble facing away from the party on his knees hunched over with Retiog and Alici standing behind him but in front of the pit.
Perception checks everyone!

"Thanks," Gimble breathes through coughing blood. "The bastards are hiding over there. Must have followed us," he coughs more blood, "they made us do the work..." he trails off struggling to breath!!
OOC: I feel odd rolling for combatants you can't see yet so I'll just put them in after y'all roll initiative.

Ow. Nat rubs a likely future bruise, and blushes. No-one saw that, right? He looks around, wondering what has Gimble so nervous... Perception 15

Crap. Crap crap crap. Hey, let... I can actually climb, you know. Crap. Nat makes his way up the rope as best as he is able, or at least tries to.

Strength to pull Nat up 12 (+4 for athletics)
OOC: Is Duc levitating to aid Nat?
Alici and Retiog reach the top to find Gimble on his knees now hunched over. The atrium the rattles again with the moaning from deep within the pit!!

OOC yes Duc is levitating and has a hold of Nat to help him climb.

Thanks, says Nat, still embarrassed at his poor climbing skills. I maybe need to work on that. Perception 4
*sigh*
"What's wrong with you," Retiog asks as he walks over to Gimble. "You weren't trying to run away were you?"
Perception 10
Gimble sputters but no words come out as an arrow whizzes by Retiog then another hits!
Attack: 22 Damage: 4
Then three more whizz at Alici, Nat, and Duc as she levitates over the pit!
Alici Attack: 21 Damage: 8
Nat Attack: 21 Damage: 4
Duc Attack: 23 Damage: 6
Gimble then collapses on his side still breathing but several arrows sticking in the front of him!
Everyone roll initiative!

P.s. I'll consider the 'looting' a short rest cuz I'm nice.

Nat's recovery HP during the short rest: 25
Nat's initiative: 6
I will surely take that short rest... Rolling 3 hit dice, 14
Initiative 5
Seeing the arrows poking from the half elf, Retiog breaths a slight sigh of relief. "Thought you may have been cursed or something."
"Thanks," Gimble breathes through coughing blood. "The bastards are hiding over there. Must have followed us," he coughs more blood, "they made us do the work..." he trails off struggling to breath!!

(Does Gimble look as badly hurt as he sounds?)
