Uh oh. The very edge of your foot touches the white part of the room. You are immediately overcome with the most horrifying visions and thoughts and images and you can do nothing but crumple to the floor and are wracked with paralysing fear. You scream and you scream until your voice is hoarse.
You need to make a WIS roll to snap out of it.
You have accumulate 1 insanity point. Your mind is a bit weaker today.
(Getting to 3 insanity causes you to go insane, and therefore, out of the game. You cannot heal insanity in any way. This is permanent cosmic horror.)
If you guys want, i'll make it a bit "easier" - if you go two by two, i'll give advantage on the rolls for the companionship. But that's all i've give in.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC: Alright! I’ve had enough Eldritch horror for one day! I’m trying something!
Martha picks up Stella, knowing that Briella and Bors might have spells that can get them across, and is going to try marching across the room of horror with her over her shoulders.
OOC > On throwing Kia. A combined throw and leap would be the best way to go. Standing long jump is half of Strength, while a 10' running start gets a leap equal to Strength. Kia has a Strength of 10, alas. But she can spend 1 ki point for Step of the Wind, which doubles her jump distance "for the turn." So, on her own, with a running start, she could jump 20'. Probably not far enough to cross the "high school auditorium" distance Crispy noted.
Now, what about if Martha throws her. RAW says that you can throw an improvised weapon 20/60. Is Kia an improvised weapon? Probably not. She's not small, being over 6ft tall, and she weighs 170 lbs. But according to the internet, Kim Mohan noted in 1984 that they range from 200-250 lbs, and a 1991 enter by Jeff Grubb said they were 6-7' tall, so Kia is on the very small side of her race. I don't know how strong Martha is, with her gauntlets... (hold for more research...) ...of Ogre Strength Power give her a Strength of 19. Assuming she is Medium sized, she can lift 570 lbs. Kia weighs 170 lbs, with her gear 205 lbs. Still well below half of Martha's lift limit. Reddit had this discussion, and helpfully linked a Wikipedia article on Olympic weight throwers, showing a human has thrown a 56 lb weight 84 ft. Olympians are surely "heroic" but not 19 strength heroic, so... I've run out of steam. Half assing it now, adding Martha's throwing vector to Kia's ki-empowered jumping vector, I think we could have a "fastball special" on the order of 100'. It passes the smell test, an Ogre could easily toss Kia about, I think.
Of course, Martha would probably have to roll an Athletics check at disadvantage to aim correctly. Kia might be able to Help with an Acrobatics roll, to take away Martha's disadvantage.

Wisdom Check: 20
Whoa, whoa, happy feet, you's got's the courage, now lets see if ya gotz da movez. Two DEX checks, prease. (at advantage)
OOC > If we go two by two, do we both make rolls at Advantage? And if one of us fails, do we both fail? It might be best if high Dex Kia and high Dex Imryll paired with Bors and Briella.

But not the way I've been rolling.
Whoever has the best stats roll. I don't care which or who. You get advantage yes. And if that person fails, yes you both fail.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
So, Martha and Stella are across! Briella will go with Briarfang. Imryll should go with Bors, since she has a higher Dex than Kia does (or at least a higher Acrobatics bonus... is her Dex higher?)
So, Kia will go alone.
Wisdom check (not save): 11
OOC Edit: Son of a...
Kia scampers back to safety, mewling, and curls up into a ball for a few minutes. Someone else want to go?

Am I making a save or a check?

Wis Save:23
Whelp I hope its not a check other wise its been fun traveling with you all. Briella is gonna spend the rest of her life crazy. Unbelievable.
-sighs- Alright crispy what happens to me.
Save, sorry. Save. My bad. I'll take the 16. You stop screaming. You mind has a small crack in it now =P If you wish, you can try again. =P
WIS check, then two DEX checks.
OOC: How far away is the door to the other room. Crispy in feet please if you can.

That was fun. :)
Edit: and now Martha is gone. :(
ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he).
Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. I love it so.
OOC > Oh. My. Nat 20 *and* Crit 1? Ouch.

OOC: Haha, just my luck, do the dex checks have advantage because I’m going two-by-two?
OH! Great! So, I already rolled up there, but I’ll roll the extra two down here
Alt Dex Check 1: 13
Alt Dex Check 2: 16
Yes!! So that 1 is now a 21!

So... Martha gets to roll the second Dex check again, for the Advantage roll! Good luck!

OOC: If I take Briarfang with me does he count in the companionship thing.
Sure, i'll allow it. He's worried about you.
OOC: Rolled both last page. The first set of rolls are with my initial Wis check, the advantage rolls are on the bottom post.
Everything in total:
Wisdom: Nat 20
Dex 1: 20
