The Valley of Ends

Resfaen looks wildly around her looking for whatever creature is hunting them in the dark and she moves to climb as quickly as she can.

Athletics: 26

Salys ties a rope around Bearskr, then has him climb to the top and brace himself to allow the others to climb the rope one by one.

Bearskr athletics: 20
Salys athletics: 11

Athletics with Guidance: 4 + 2 

Rogi uttered a quick prayer for guidance and began to climb the rope after them.

“Let’s not waste time. I can cast fly on our strongest two. We’ll have some hitch a ride. Anyone else have means of shortening this? Cutting out the hazard of falling down a mountain?”

Onyx looks from the rock wall towards his comrade who offered to make him fly, but seeing everyone else climbing up the side of the cliff he shrugs: “I would say you and Gotch fly up there and help Berserk with the rope, every one else seams happy for the exersice...” and he secures his bow and starts climbing after the others.

23/7 (natural climbing speed; advantage from using the rope?)

Salys helps Bearskr up to the first part of the journey up but finds he forgotten his own footing and pummel taking 10 bludgeoning damage as he hits the ground.

(dice don't like Salys it seems)

Need another athletic check from Bearskr to see how well he works as an anchors point for people using rope. 

How big of a climb is it?

about 60ft-80ft to the center of the visible island area, climb to the top is not visible, there a few ledges about every 20ft or 30ft  that can be used to rest space  but the party can only see the bottom of them jetting out from the cliffside. 

After Bearskr headed up, before trying to climb himself, Salys would have taken Del up on his offer to fly up, perhaps he and Del carrying Gotch to the top.

Salys takes a moment on the ground as he let out a groan from the pain before he takes up Del's offer of magical flight. Taking Gotch between them and just fly up to the ledge that level to what the center of the island would be. on the ledge, they find a dark cave entrance.

Between the two flying members and 10 minutes, they able to move each of the party member up through they can feel Resfaen's shaking as she struggle with herself while being called up. 

Looking at the cave entrance yielding no additional information, it's a large dark cave that twists shortly after the entrance. Nothing seem to be reacting to their presence but something outside the demisphere should be there. 

(Salys would have taken up Del's offer of flight before climbing up the mountain, so he wouldn't have fallen and gotten hurt. Hazards of pbp that I made my rolls before he offered, but retconned once I saw his offer.)

Waiting for some time, the party continues peering at the cave entrance while on the edge of the cliff, nothing is coming out to greet them as they want in the dark shadow of the mountain. 

Onyx would study the cave entrance for any clues what may be inside, before slowly going inside the dark cave. He will signal the others to stay behind a little.

stealth 29/23 (advantage from darkness and boots of elvenkind)

Investigation of the cave entrance: 19

(Waiting on what the rest of the party doing during Onyx investigation before proceeding)

Onyx - Investigate

Rogi - waiting on the cliff

Del - checking out surround while flying

Resfaen - Looking for hiding spot

Gotch - Summons a chair and watches

Salys - Mount Bearskr and stay back

Rogi will keep watch to the rear. 

Del will look out to see what’s going on with the other islands from here.

Resfaen doe snot like the possibility of entering that cave and finding out what is inside so she is most definitely waiting outside, hopefully finding a rock to stand near in case she needs to hide.

Gotch conjures a chair and takes a seat. He has Sabastian keep watch from overhead, but does not send him into the cave as Onyx seemed to wish to scout on their own.

Salys remounts Bearskr and stays near Resfaen, trying to provide a reassuring presence.

As the rest of the party keeps their distance, Onyx moves forward to investigate, he sees a hidden door directly ahead of the cave entrance but can't find any way to open it in the immediate area. He easily sees the cave curves to the left and 10ft feet down the tunnel, he can make out a dark painted chest made to meld into almost pitch blackness of the world.
