To Prove D&D Exists for Echolon

OOC: Spell has a thirty-foot reach, it ain't getting down there.  That said:

IC:
"Tell Tallboots I'm sendin' him some light," Ilyara said, retrieving the string from her pack and fastening it around either end of a stick of chalk.  Running the loop around Tommary's rope, Ilyara cast her spell on the chalk stick and allowed it to run down the line, smacking into Tommary and stopping rather than hitting the possibly-hostile floor.

 Toots messages Tommary: “Incoming.”

🎵Nuh-nuh-nuhhhh nuh-nuh-nuhhh nuh-nuh-nuhhhh🎵 Tommary bobs to and mutters his favorite reel jam, wondering why they rigged up two lines and everything if he's done here by himself and they're sliding that illuminator down his line too.

It looks like a pool of green goo. The shore of this oval shaped "pond" is about 25 feet away bordered by low patches of fungus and some larger specimens in the near distance.

Tommary the Unworthy calls up "It's goo ... green goo.  I'm not liking this I feel like I'm looking at something big's anus and this whole flush thing we're in is how it gets enemas and suppositories" then considers the suppository application of his mummy dust....

“Do you see anywhere to go down there? Or is it just the goo? If there’s nowhere else to explore then what’s the point? Unless you think one or more of those artifacts we were sent back here to find is down there. Do you think there’s one down there? Or can you see anywhere else to explore down there? If not then I think we should check elsewhere. Don’t you think?”

"There's vegetation or fungus, lining this, I dunno cistern?  I do _not_ want to swim through this likely ooze that making Windbreaker battle rattle to get to it.  I don't know if can swing it ... maybe I climb up and drop some fire on this stuff and see if it burns off?"

From his vantage, can Tommary determine wwhether the vegetation lining the place is "standing ground" and something he might be able to finesse through some fancy rope swinging work?

Dex/Acrobatics DC 12 to swing to the shore.

"Toots, Ily, Arwen, if you look at your feet one of you should see a flagon of beer sitting there.  It is mine.  One of you please pick it up and hold it."

Acrobatics 17

Toots picks up the imaginary flagon of ale and pantomimes drinking it.

OOC: THAT'S NOT HOW THE FORCE WORKS!  Or the Hold My Beer ritual either.  If you take a DC 5 Perception check you'll see there is in fact a flagon, but it's empty and smells maybe of ale, though very strong ale if that was the case.

 Not only does Tommary make it safely on the shore, he does a pirouette in the air before landing!

Sort of moot giving the yelling and the gymnastics, but 

Tommary the Unworthy will tread lightly around the perimeter of this cistern thing to get the lay out, possible egresses besides the way he roped down, etc.  Maybe determine what's got Windbreaker on buzz.  perception 14 stealth 17

It would seem the pool is bad news.

Toots messages Tommary: “Hey! You alive down there? How’s it going? What do you see?”

 While waiting for his response she checks in on the magic eye that 9 is holding.  

OOC: I think Tommary still has Christmas Lights attached to his body so he can see nearby things.

OOC: Also still has a stick of chalk with Light cast on it, tied up in string.

Tommary with various illuminants (but not the Mummy Dust suppository) does as much of the perimeter of the cistern as he can checking for anything besides enclosing rock and flora/fungi.  He calls up "I don't like this 'pool'.  I'm air quoting 'pool' with one hand because I'm not putting down Windbreaker for double air quote effect, but it would be apt.  I'm pretty sure it's either capped by if not entirely ooze.  Maybe we can burn it off?  I don't see anyway to go further than into the 'pool.'  Also, I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to get back up there.  Swinging down here is one thing, doing a standing broad jump, I'm not sure if I'm gonna make it, didn't really have a plan." 

OOC:  I feel like this is Dathomir in Fallen Order again....  Finally finished it btw, good story, game play could have been shortened significantly.

Toots facepalms at Tommary’s comment.

"Yeah, really thought there'd be like at least a sewer or something to follow, but I'm stuck."

OOC:  see if it was Fallen Order, Tommary could like force pull some of the wall out of place and then force jump to the rope before the wall popped back into place.  It would take like 20 lives, but it could be done.
