The way you came in involved going down the long hallway to the intersection... and that entire intersection has fallen some 30' to the room with the spider below.

Ooh, didn't realize that!

I'm sorry if I kind of took the opportunity for others to find items, and I can edit the post so that Linnix finds only the bolts and the MW hand crossbow if you'd like... Or maybe just react to the snakey dagger

Either way, it's not a problem for me to edit

I'm fine with that Reralae. And it actually makes sense for Linnix to have found most of the stuff. She does have the highest search modifier after all. (or at least I think she does).

Id like to update monday with a moving on post, so if there's nothing vital to be said or done in here, I suggest over the weekend posts reflect attempts at leaving the complex.. Basically you have a 10foot square hole to get across.. or a 30 foot. wall to climb down then up to reach the exit tunnel.

That being said, I'm not gonna be around the Inn this weekend much hopefully. Taking some time away from the computer for once.. (I know it's a shock to me too) Anyways those that know how to contact me can, and I'l pop on to answer quick queries if time allows.

Enjoy.

Me.

Ok, at the end of my last post, I said:


(OOC: If no one objects, Artanis will go ahead and start tying them together as tightly and securely as possible with the rope found. She will leaving a bit of each ladder sticking out about a foot or so on each end, that way it is longer than the 10' gap in the ground, and has something to rest on the edges of the hole with.)

So basically she will lay one flat, and the second on top of it, with about a foot sticking out on either end. Know what I mean?

shall I update your trying to use the ladder to cross the gap diagonally from the right passage to the entrance one? and head out? I presume you'll be searching the chest on the way out? Or are you heading out first then checking the chest should the entrance be secure..

Or further still and a likely scenario... people move on out, with Linnix stopping to investigate/open the chest

if we jumped the hole before, why dont we just do it again now?

We didn't jump the hole before. There was floor there, it crumbled beneath the tail end of the party when Moonshadow accidently tripped the trigger while walking around the blade in the middle of our way.

It's the hole that Linnix and Aleist*sp*(sorry) fell into when the ground crumbled beneath them. where they fought the spider, and we had to jump past the Axe when it started swinging again, where Kas almost got chopped in half, and where we faced our first mini-battle inside the "cave".

Yep that's right and the way Kaelyn mention how the pit lies it lies the ladder trick may not work. either I will have to map it out. Kaelyn is the opening in the floor ten by ten and at the intersection?

Now they must have another way out of here it wouldn't make sense not to. So let me get feedback from Kaelyn and I will draw it out and see if it will work with those ladders.

Well, Linnix is intending to open the chest, but it is in the dark, so unless she can open the chest (picking the lock I'd imagine) and hold a candle orb in the other hand, she'll have to have someone else there too...

As there was roomfor you all to walk two abreast of each other, the intersection is effectively four 5'x 5' squares. AS for the mechanics of Artanis' 12' long double ladder bridge. Setting it on an angle (possibly with some adjustment to extend it to two feet extending on each side,) The ladder bridge 'will' cross the gap.

So it is definately a possibility to use in crossing.

I totally just realized I crossed the thousand post mark working on this game...

Looks like it's payday for everyone... Enjoy a bonus CD from me.

YAY! Grats on 1000+ posts!

And yay for more cd's.... So generous!

If I remember correctly, the initial description of the hole was that it was a 10' hole. As such, the 12' "bridge" should fit nicely, with 1' securely holding onto each side of the hole, so long as someone will hold onto one end of it to help ensure that it does not tip or slide.

As for setting it on an angle...again I don't see a reason to need to do that, but correct me if I'm wrong, Kaelyn....?
