(Are we following the order I suggested in the pm?)
Sure, just add Kathrine in the middle soemwhere.
Gabriel takes the lead along the barely visible track through the forest. Rowan has to be close behind to ascertain the correct path at times. Alarion follows, Katherine next, and Cail guards them from behind.
Only 10 minutes along the path Rowan yells "Gabriel - stop!"
Please give a Dexterity check Gabriel!
Dexterity checkç15
(Would I get advantage on the roll cause the warning?)
(The terrain makes it difficult for anyone except for the person in the lead to make out any hazards along the path...)
Before Rowan can finish yelling a warning, Gabriel sees leaves and brush whoosh around his feet - he manages to keep one foot out - but the other is caught in a snare.
A flurry of leaves and twigs fly around the paladin as he's pulled upside down, into the air, 10' above the ground.
"A little help guys!"Gabriel gasps as he feels all the blood rushes to his head!
"Hmm... Decent trap. Let's get him down."
Rowen will take take out a dagger and cut Gabriel down, catching him the best he can once he's free.
"Seems like these goblins expected to be followed..."
Is anyone else in the party helping to catch Gabriel as Rowan cuts the rope? For that matter, how does Rowan manage to reach it, let alone manage to cut it and catch Gabriel at the same time? Just sayin...
Cail helps cut the rope, but I'm not sure anyone catches Gabriel.
"WAIT! Some one toss a rope around the limb holding me, so I can hold myself up once I am cut free!" Gabriel isn't to excited about the idea of dropping ten feet and either hitting the ground or crushing his friends.
(OOC: Hmmm... meh. I'll wait for a few more responses before continuing lol)
Could I make a athletics check to get and swing my self to grab a hold of the tree closest to me?
If so athletics check: 24
(OOC: damn I roll terrible on here)
"The rope idea is sound." Kathrine calls out. Can one of you tie a rope to a branch overhead, then let him grab the tied-off rope and hold on as the rope holding his foot is cut. This way he won't fall." Kathrine pulls out her own rope as she speaks. "I am not a good tree climber, otherwise I'd tie it off..."
"Thank you Kathrine, seems my rocking has just sent me spinning and I am getting a little dizzy"
With no one seeming willing to take up the task, Kathrine sighs and moves to the tree trunk. She hikes up her tunic to her knees, under her armor, and then starts to work her way up the tree, needing to stretch to reach branches, due to her shorter height (she is about five foot 2 inches tall.)
Athletics: 1 Guidance: 4
Cail and Rowan search about for where the other end of the snare trap is counterweighted near the ground, and begin to saw at the rope.
Katherine realizes that she's going to have to act quickly. It's been a long time since she's climbed a tree, but with murmured prayers and a few close calls she manages to throw the rope over the branch within Gabriel's reach.
Gabriel catches and winds the rope around his wrists as Katherine secures the other end.
Just in time - Cail and Rowan have slashed through the rope and Gabriel's foot falls. He's able to control his fall holding with Katherine's rope and rappel down the trunk.
A few minor scrapes and bruises later, Katherine has retrieved her rope and all are safely on the ground. Gabriel gathers items together that fell from his pockets.
Is the party ready to proceed? And in what marching order??
A bit flustered, Kathrine smooths her tunic back down her legs. Then she finger-combs her long chestnut hair behind her ears, picking a few bits of bark and leaf from it as she does so. Once she has her tunic and hair back in place she nods to the others.
"Let's keep moving, just watch for traps as you move, there are bound to be more." She says as she glances to the path ahead.
kathrine will again take up a position in the middle of the group.
