If Preacher goes with me to the meet, who's gonna get on the net? You guys were going to do a simple hack, I assumed. Without a netrunner that ain't gonna happen. I picked bullseye 'cause you might well trust him to kill Spiff if he tried to run off.

Yes, your character's move was rational with his background. Elves are light, and you would know that. You've easily held him too, so you get to blame the others for his fall. Now, I wouldn't advise doing so with Seigfried.
Riaharan: you're at 0hp and unconscious (failed fortitude). You would've made the climb if you'd have quit making it harder on yourself. I'm sure they'll get you out.

Subject: and....we're back
It was a tough move for Riaharan, who's skill in a climb was only his strength. The two held the rope opposite each other, somewhat timidly. Each person saw the other as a weak ally at best. It was a shock as it all started to work. Riaharan's first step onto the rope was timid, but heavy. The two tugging on the rope were easily able to hold him. It was the second foot that threw everything off. The small gnome had no difficulty standing, but the Maenid slipped allowing the rope to slide lower, below Riaharan's feet. It was enough to trip him up. The elf fell. The water splashed as he smacked his head on the wall when he landed. The two looking down at him realized he wasn't moving.
The other man took on his strange stance again and charged into the room behind them full of trees. Seigfried...yes that was his name. He fought his way into the tree pushing branches aside with his spear. He smelled the air. Aside from the wet bark, the hint of maple, and the scent of his ally, he smelled something metallic, but stronger than the scent of his weapons. He pushed aside more branches. It was, unfortunately, more difficult than he at first thought it would be. The tree branches were wet and smacking him in the face as he worked his way through them. He opened his eyes once to look for his ally through the trees and saw him, motionless, only a few feet away, heavily blocked by the tree that Siegfried found himself working through. It was then that his eyes widened because he realized what the metallic scent actually was. His ally was bleeding, profusely. The tree was covered in his blood. Unfortunately, that move cost him, as a sharp leaf smacked him in the face and did a bit of damage to his left eye (-1hp). It was during his fit that he heard the splash behind him.

4 hp, putting you at 8. And he might be ok, he might not. The water hasn't risen enough (as far as you can tell) for it to be a safe fall though.

Topic: At First Glance
Subject: The death of Roy
Tram stared at the door, sizing up his aim as he knocked his arrow. Whether it was the wet clothes he was wearing, or the stress of aiming at his teamate. Either way, the shot didn't go quite as planned. The sound of a thwang was followed quickly by a thud, that sank an arrow in the door, less than an inch above the elf's head. Riaharan stared at the gesture and couldn't be sure if it was to be helpful or not.
The elf chose to use the arrow to ease his climb. He might have made it if it hadn't been for that choice. He tested it with his weight, trying not to put too much weight on it. Unfortunately, his mind must have associated it with elven arrow strength. This was a gnome sized arrow. It snapped under his weight.
It took all of his climbing skill to hang on after the faulty maneuver, but he nailed it and hung from that door handle still, but safely 10 feet from the water below, now just over a foot high in the pit (natural 20, good roll). The water flowed steadily, and didn't appear to be getting lower in any direction. Fortunately, it didn't seem to be getting higher either, except in the pit below.
The other two heard none of this. The raging storm was bringing all kinds of debris through the tree, and even the rain was pounding them by this time. Fortunately, they weren't bludgeoned too terribly yet. When Seigfried suggested moving, Valerick followed blindly, and they rushed into the room with the others, to open upon quite a scene. The gnome was weilding a bow facing the elf. The elf dangled from a door handle over a pit, into which the water was spilling. Less than 2 inches from his head, an arrow, clearly from the gnome's quiver, was in the wall, broken off not far from the head.
Unfortunately for Roy, he caught sight of something very peculiar just as the others were leaving, and approached it when it happened. The tree in the doorway, rather suddenly backed out, allowing the wind and rain to rush in at high speed. The blinding weather brought his hand up to cover his eyes as he peered out into the rain, stepping closer to the cave entrance. He had only just managed to see it when it happened...
The tree came flying back in at him. It didn't stop at the door this time, but floated all the way in, pushing Roy in with it. The young man was completely unable to protect himself as small branches sliced his face. His arms were locked down almost immediately by the larger branches that bruised his body. His legs were stabbed by sharp leaves. His face was pelted with soil and rock. He might have made it, had the tree not pushed him all the way back. His back was slammed against the stone wall, and the tree branches stabbed into him, the sharp point atop the trunk tearing his chest open, visibly stopping his heartbeat. Visible, at least, for those who could see through the tree.

Subject: hmm
This one was me. I was an elf who had denied his heritage and left his village. He met a cleric and a paladin of Torm who turned him into a paladin rather easily. When he made the level of paladin to get a mount he had the plane-surfing wizard of the party to take him to the celestial plane to get a mount. They sat in an empty plane for 3 days. Finally, a celestial horse showed up and looked at him strangely, walking past, turning back and looking at him again. My response?
"Are you my mount?" The damn thing spoke common and I never lived it down.

Ok, post is up. I'm trying not to hit you Roy, but you haven't moved and I'm not moving you unless the party decides to move as a unit...I gave you multiple saves too!!!
Riaharan is now dangling from a door handle over the pit. It's a rough climb check to pull yourself up by the handle...very rough (door handles rotate).
Tram, no other traps or doors as far as you can tell.
Siegfried and Valerick. It's getting dangerous in there. You need to find a solution fast.

Topic: At First Glance
Subject: Arguments begin....
As the elf expertly climbed the side of the pit, even with water pouring into it, he argued with the small gnome that looked down at him. He managed to get up the side and stand on the small ledge next to the door only to realize that, not only was it a very thin ledge that was curved to slope into the pit, but it was covered in water also. Riaharan lost his balance and slipped from the ledge, grasping the door handle only just in time to keep him from falling back into the slowly filling pit.
During this time, Tram managed to study the pit trap and found no other traps around it, though the door itself was distinctly out of reach as it was at least a full 5 feet across the pit to the door (and ledge where it was indented into the wall) from every angle. It was unfortunately impossible for him to figure out a way to help the elf dangling only a few feet away. He saw no other doors in the room.
Valerick and Seigfried stood in front of the other door in the entrance room. The rain seemed to be pouring in through the tree still, because they were getting only more wet by the minute. They heard no response to their calls about to the others. Whether something had gone wrong, or something had gone right, they couldn't know. They did, however, have an intriguing discussion about smoke...in front of Roy, no less.
The words Valerick spoke rang very true to Seigfried. It hadn't occurred to him that there could be a roaring blaze behind the door. Instead, he only matched the scent to the torches he'd seen in these rooms. If it was only torches, the room was dry. If it was a roaring blaze, they might be stepping into a worse situation, with possibly even deeper water. This was a cave after all. Who's to know which door leads to which elevation. You'd need a dwarf or something for that  .
Valerick and Seigfried's actions were much quicker than those of the others, so it's only fitting that one more thing might occur, and it did. As strange as one might see it to be, a few rocks came rushing through the downed tree in the door. One of them smacked Roy in the chest, making him back up further, all the way against the wall beside Valerick (-2hp). Clearly this cave wasn't as protected as they had at first pictured.

Subject: Same Session
More? That's easy! That same adventure resulted in more idiocy. The Paladin rushed back to the inn of this predominantly human town (we guessed they used non-humans for slave labor) to tell us what had happened. He sat down at the bar next to my character who was heavily cloaked, turned to him, and says "Hey Elf!". This gave them another target.

You guys are easy to top. I'm just having trouble picking one.... I got it!
We were all pursuing some lost holy items of Torm with a paladin and cleric in the party into a village known to be full of followers of Bane. The bard's instrument had been destroyed and he was pursuing a replacement, which the paladin offered to pay for. The two of them went into the village music shop and when offered multiple instruments at different prices he turned to the paladin and said "Hey Paladin", after which the shopkeeper gave them the instrument for free and rushed off to get the authorities. This ultimately resulted in one dead party member and one naked, beaten, and chucked in an alley.

Subject: Owww!!!!!
Siegfried held position, his spear at the ready, facing the unopened door. He smelled smoke from the unopened room, which told him that water probably didn't travel that way much. Otherwise the scent of mildew would have overwhelmed him (nice check).
Roy backed away from the cave entrance, staring at it as several large pieces of wood flew past the leaves (you can post other actions, I just didn't want to hit you again when you hadn't posted).
Valerick joined Siegfried where he stood, readying himself for whatever waited on the other side. He heard nothing but his own heartbeat pounding in his ears (rolled a 1).
Meanwhile,Tram and Riaharan attempted to search the new room. Though Tram was the only one with the skill set that would allow him to find a trap, it was Riaharan that found it first, with a loud *THUMP* no less. While the scout knew to search the whole room carefully and save the door for last, the elf went straight for the door. The ground crumbled beneath his feet and he fell 10 feet into a rectangular hole in front of the door (-2hp puts you at 6 if I keep rolling like this I'll never kill you guys off).
The entire party (except for Valerick, sorry you asked for that one) heard the thud immediately.

Confusion is understandable at this point as every member of the party is doing different things. Let me try to explain.
The entrance room has two wooden doors and the cave entrance which was covered by a boulder, and is now covered by trees. This is where Roy is standing.
Valerick is now standing in front of the CLOSED door directly opposite the entrance.
Riaharan opened the door to the right and then searched the entrance room (that's what I understood the wording of your post to mean).
EDIT AGAIN: StGeorge I apologize. I may have misread your post as well. I'll be sure to get it all cleared up in my next post for you.
Tram has now moved into the room on the right with the OPEN door and started searching.
Siegfried is just standing in the doorway on the right watching this occur at the moment.
EDIT: I misread Addy's post, Siegfried is ALSO by the closed door, not the open one.
Make sense? I can pull out a map for you guys.

The search of the entrance room yielded no results...of course, it is rainy, loud, and there are twigs and sticks everywhere, so it's not an easy search at this point.

Subject: Answers....
There are two doors, you are correct. The door you were intending to open was the same one Riaharan opened. Why didn't you open it? Another player explicitly said that he blocked you.
After that, Riaharan shoved him out of the way (with words of course) and opened it himself. As I said, less posting means less actions. You're welcome to make your feelings known now though. Kick Siegfried, Addy needs a good kick every once in a while.
Yes, the tree did snap in just the right place it seems, but things are about to get a whole lot worse for you all shortly.

Topic: At First Glance
Subject: New rooms, new possibilities
Most of the group was focused on the door as Riaharan burst through it to an empty room. The room was rectangular,like this one, but with very different dimensions. From the doorway to the opposing wall was only about 25 feet, but the room spread, probably to the edge of the cliff-side on the right and left deeper into the mountain 20 feet each way. The room held only one torch, directly opposite the entrance. Much like the one before it, the corners were dark and a door stood in a slight indent in the cave wall. It was too the left, clearly leading deeper into the mountain. The one in the strange fighting stance was sure there were no strange scents in here...no more strange than most caves held.
Roy was still staring at the cave entrance, though. "Hello? Who's out there?" he said, staring into the blinding rain. A response was issued, but not the response he expected. A series of cracks followed by a creaking sound resulted in a flurry of green falling at the entrance to the cave. One branch caught Roy off guard and smacked him in the shoulder. Lucky for him, it missed his head. A large number of leaves now blocked some of the rain, but brought it all in as they dripped.
It was Siegfried and Tram who noticed the next oddity. The water was still only an inch deep. It did not burst into the new room, but was already there when they opened the door. Perhaps it wasn't just stagnant pools that they were standing in.

Roy, pay attention! No one knocked on the cave entrance, Siegfried knocked on the door, your approach to the cave entrance just resulted in a branch to the face. -1 hp. You are also showing max HP, is that accurate?
This is going to be an interesting post...
OH, AND DON'T ROLL YOUR OWN CHECKS. You're welcome to let me know if you want to take extra time to make a check, but generally I'll roll them when pertinent.

StGeorge & Sibelius: When I say stings, i mean you each took 2 real points of damage. That water is bringing all kinds of crap into that cave and you two got whacked with some small twigs. YOU ARE ALSO THE ONLY ONES WHO SUCCESSFULLY NOTICED THE ROOM IS FILLING WITH WATER.
Also, you two are showing max HP....did you roll your current HP at max or was that a mistake?

Subject: A twist.....or maybe not?
Introductions ensued in the small chamber as a knock rang out from the door on the right side of the room. The largest man who had sniffed strangely upon entering was standing in front of this strange wooden door while the others mentioned their names.
The rain beat heavily from behind and those closest to the door, Riaharan and Valerick, shifted under its painful sting. The quick glance that followed resulted in a rather disconcerting observation. The room was filling with water. The water was now at least an inch deep all around the adventurers as they stared at the large man who stood in front of a closed door.
Time was passing, and Mother Nature was surely toying with them...

Topic: Chat?
Subject: Reitterating
I have suggested it, but our webmaster doesn't seem to be biting. In any case, when even our new improved inn went down recently, I'm going to recommend it again. I suggest we move the chat to IRC. Since no one wants to make the effort to initiate it, I've already started one with a dice rolling (among other things) bot. This is NOT officially sanctioned by the inn, but I know that I would like to keep in contact with you people even when the inn is down. Also, I never get to chat because of all the kicks and the unusual interface.
So, that said. I can move it as desired, but the current room set up is:
irc://irc.animenfo.org/#D&D
Join me, I'm bored there.
