Wary of the mushrooms, the 6 of you continue on to a new place to bed down for the night.
For Oorr and Grimnir:
During the night, you hear Bupiddo mumbling in his sleep. It's not all in a language you understand, but sometimes he speaks in common and you hear the following. "Yes, it was time. It had been too long. Finally, I am sated. Soon...soon..." the mumbling trails off in to light snoring.
After another day of travel. You reach the end of a cavern with a cliff at the far side where the trail of your friends stops. You are at the bottom of the cliff which reaches about 70 feet up above you. A rope ladder has been let down from the top that you can climb, but it appears to have broken in several places. From the top of the cliff you hear the sounds of a fight, voices yelling, and something snarling and snapping.
At top of the cliff, Oorr sees the cause of all the sound. Eldeth fends off a worm like creature with tentacles and a beak with her shield. Derendil is slashing at it with his claws, while trying to fend off another of the creatures. Sarith lies unconscious and is being dragged away to a small cave by a third monstrosity. Stool is helplessly trying to pull on Sarith in the opposite direction.
(OOG Roll Initiative, and then let me know what you'd like to do initially.)
Hearing the screams, Griming recognises the voices of his friends. With great agility, he dashes and climbs the cliff in one go, arriving at the top the cliff. (Griming is using is Dash action) "Oh big guy, why don't you pick someone your size ! Oh my god, you're so ugly !"
Quote from ManolitoPiesdeplata>>(Actually, with climbing costing 1 extra foot per foot climbed, Grimnir would make it up to half the cliff...)
oh, I don't know why, I though the rope ladder would mean that movement would not be extra.... I guess let's see how Asbestos wants to handle this, no problem
(OOG Oorr you can make your attack before your turn. Belwar, consider Flaming Sphere in effect when your turn comes. For Grimnir and Valrish, there is a rope ladder to help you climb the cliff, but I'll need athletics checks with advantage from you both if you choose to climb it (no advantage if you don't use the ladder.))
Grimnir is using the ladder to climb up rapidly : 7
edit: ooooh, that's poor
The rope ladder s frayed from unknown years of use. You have to catch yourself several time as runs of the ladders break free under you weight. You don't fall, but you can't scale as quickly as you'd like to. (OOG You'll need to use your movement on the next turn to get to the top)
Valrish runs after Grimnir and jumps on the ladder, waiting for him to reach the top. Athletics: 20
(OOC Btw, I only just noticed that I could've changed my background w/ the content sharing, and I'd like to change it to Outlander. I'm Okay with keeping the Folk Hero one though.)

Valrish uses the ladder, combined with handholds in the rock to scurry up without issue, passing Grimnir on the way. You make it to the top, seeing the ensuing battle of your friends and the gricks.
Oorr nocks an arrow and lets it fly towards the closest....serpent-like monster. Meanwhile, Zippy start climbing to reach the top of the cliff.
Attack: 13 Damage: 11
OOC How much time does Zippy need to reach the top?
Oorr's arrow just barely misses the closest grick, as Zippy climbs up the wall, reaching the top in time to see the creature rear back and turn its beaked head towards them.
The Grick fighting Eldeth tries to grip her with its tentacles, while the other tries to gore Derendil with its beak.
Tentacle attack: 15 Eldeth uses her shield to deflect the tentacles. Beak attack: 18 Damage: 8 Derendil cries out as a gash of red appears in his side. He is matted in blood across his body.
Stool tries still to attack the grick pulling away the lifeless body of Sarith to no effect.
"I just..." Valrish takes a step forward and then another one backwards. "There was this noise..."

"Where from?"
"I think it was from those 'shrooms, but it was kinda faint..." He doesn't step forward again, looking suspiciously at the mushrooms.

OOC Jeez Bupiddo is Gollum, now?
"Stay here, I go scouting." Oorr flies up to the top of the cliff to see what it is happening.

Valrish looks at the cliff, not sure how to climb it. "Oorr, can you give me a hand?" He shouts to the aarakocra.
