Son heads across, but his not starts to unravel! 

((Son, give me a DEX save please!))

"No! It was such a good knot!"

Dex save: 16

Blue hangs back and waits to see what happens.

(Sorry I've been inactive lately, busy IRL.)

Son leaps back as his side unravels, managing to grab hold of the other side and pull himself back with the others and the bridge cants dangerously to the side!

Talon retrieves the hanging rope and tries to make a better knot.

Int d20: 7

He tries to cross "on foot" to test the bridge, knowing he can just fly if the knot unravels.

Son, having learned his lesson, is ready to grab the rope should the knot give out again. He does think Talon's knot looks good though!

Even under his slighter weight, the bridge gives out again under Talon!

((Give me a Dex Save, and as long as it's not terrible, you'll be able to take off without getting tangled!))

((And so went the next few days for the party...))

Noticing that it is only the other side of the bridge that keeps coming undone, Mark heads over.

"Mind if I give it a try?"

Attempting to redo the knot he did on the other side, Mark ties it off to the second eyelet.

Sleight of Hand (Int): 23 

Talon's dex save: 20

Talon leaps to the air as the bridge sways dangerously, beating his wings to circle and remain aloft as Mark has had enough of watching the kids try and knots it good and heads across. Everyone makes it through the ravine, and resumes climbing upwards. A cave mouth looms ahead, seemingly where your travels are taking you.

Mark slowly approaches the cave and looks around, trying to determine if there are any creatures that seem to be making this their home.

Investigation (No mod): 20 

 (OOC: Silly forum, rolls are for kids!)

((Mark has a +4 to Investigation.))

The cave entrance shows no signs of being inhabited, it's a rough, natural tunnel heading deeper into the mountain. For once you might not be about to be attacked.

Ember slowly follows after everyone else still nervous crossing the bridge having watched the others fall many times previously. 

Ember will look around for signs of water or sounds of a stream or pool. 

Perception (no mod): 5 

Edit: I put in the wrong name. I play another gnome, and I've been good up to now to not get them mixed up.

Mark loosens the grip on his axe and lowers his shield some, visibly relaxing.

"I don't know exactly what to expect, but I think we're safe for a bit."

Quote from AlterEgo5 >>

"This forest is dangerous. It seems we can't go anywhere without disturbing its creatures. The sooner we get to the pool the better." Arisys says moving up the rocks to try to find their path again. 

Survival (no mod): 16 

 ((Actually happened once before, and I was going to say something about Ember having a bit of identity causing her to question if that is her given name, but I forgot.

 

Blue sags against the wall, still breathing heavily.

"I'm resting now.  Not sure I can keep standing for much longer."

(Pretty sure I'm on 1 hp.)

Son goes in a ways, but not out of sight of the others, to listen and see. Hopefully it isn't too dark for the latter.

Perception:20

He will then look for any tracks in the dust to confirm this is where father meant.

Survival:1

((Son has a +0 to Perception.))

Son hears a soft drip..... drip.....drip. The way ahead appears to be softly illuminated, the tunnel sloping up and out of view.

He turns to head back to inform the others, and freezes. A clear print of some sort of large, clawed creature! Is this the home of some monstrosity? Did 'Father' send them here to appease the hunger of some mountain spirit?

He glances wildly about, begins backing up towards the others... and spots the creature that left the tracks... himself. His feet left the marks he got worked up about.

Sheepishly, he returns to the others. Best not to mention it at all.

"Looks like the tunnel goes up, something is lighting so we won't be blind."

He coughs,

"And, uh, I didn't see any tracks of anything living in here."

Looking at Blue sitting down he asks,

"We taking a break? How much daylight we have left?"

If they decide to wait Son will us the time to ask,

"Has anyone thought about magic that can make a whole group of people forget? It seems attached to the island. And why water would prevent the effect?"

Arcana:8
