[Thu Jul 7 19:41:12 2005] : (1) DM: GAME START
[Thu Jul 7 19:41:14 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Ready.
[Thu Jul 7 19:41:31 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc ready
[Thu Jul 7 19:41:57 2005] : (1) DM: You're standing on the edge of a ravine. The bridge having collapsed and fallen into the river below.
[Thu Jul 7 19:42:00 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Well, I'm glad that we finally made it over that!"
[Thu Jul 7 19:42:01 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev looks down into the ravine
[Thu Jul 7 19:42:07 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "My sword!"
[Thu Jul 7 19:42:40 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Not meaning to cause a fuss, friends, but I'm much less effective without it."
[Thu Jul 7 19:42:47 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc how deep is the ravine?
[Thu Jul 7 19:42:55 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I'm sorry for the loss of your sword, but better it than you" Hollyella smiles as Tar Shevran
[Thu Jul 7 19:42:59 2005] : (1) DM: 200 ft deep
[Thu Jul 7 19:43:09 2005] : (2) Huerney: Huerney looks down the ravine to see if the sword has stuck into the bank
[Thu Jul 7 19:43:23 2005] : (1) DM: [1d100] -> [11] = (11)
[Thu Jul 7 19:43:28 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Better it than me, indeed!"
[Thu Jul 7 19:43:30 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Huerney: could we send your rope after it?"
[Thu Jul 7 19:43:34 2005] : (1) DM: Spot check Huerney.
[Thu Jul 7 19:43:47 2005] : (2) Huerney: Spot Skill Check: [1d20-2] -> [11,-2] = (9)
[Thu Jul 7 19:43:53 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella takes a look as well
[Thu Jul 7 19:43:56 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Spot Skill Check: [1d20+4] -> [6,4] = (10)
[Thu Jul 7 19:44:00 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev peers over
[Thu Jul 7 19:44:06 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Spot Skill Check: [1d20+1] -> [20,1] = (21)
[Thu Jul 7 19:44:17 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc I must have REALLY wanted to find it :-)
[Thu Jul 7 19:44:31 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc I wonder why ;)
[Thu Jul 7 19:44:31 2005] : (1) DM: None of you can see anything other than parts of the bridge, rocks and water.
[Thu Jul 7 19:44:46 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I fear that the ravine is too deep to get the sword, even if I could find its location"
[Thu Jul 7 19:45:15 2005] : (2) Huerney: "With the rope of climbing that is"
[Thu Jul 7 19:45:21 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I thought we still had enough rope, didn't we?"
[Thu Jul 7 19:45:26 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Hollyella, if I could request a great favour - might we lower you into the ravine on a rope, and then you have a brief look for it? I think the two of us are heavy enough and strong enough to hold you."
[Thu Jul 7 19:45:43 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc does it look like we could lower someone down to the banks safely?
[Thu Jul 7 19:45:45 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc we've got standard rope, but the Rope of Climbing is of a finite length.
[Thu Jul 7 19:46:11 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc do an abseil type thing
[Thu Jul 7 19:46:13 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "No problem, I know you won't let me drop: you want your sword back" Hollyella grins
[Thu Jul 7 19:46:30 2005] : (1) DM: There's space on either bank. The river itself it's that wide. The rocks look wet and slippery from the spray of the rapids though.
[Thu Jul 7 19:46:34 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "It makes more sense for me to hold the rope than for you to do so!"
[Thu Jul 7 19:46:58 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "That's true enough, I sure couldn't hold you"
[Thu Jul 7 19:47:12 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Will you be able to find it if you are down there? If not, there is little point in our trying."
[Thu Jul 7 19:47:19 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc Detect Magic would work :-)
[Thu Jul 7 19:48:31 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Isn't your sword magical? If it is, I should find it once I'm near enough"
[Thu Jul 7 19:48:40 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "It is magical indeed."
[Thu Jul 7 19:49:07 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "But I might need your rope of climbing, Huerney, there's no guarantee I can easily reach it once I'm down there"
[Thu Jul 7 19:49:28 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Perhaps we should lower you part way, and then you can point the rope of climbing to wherever you find the sword"
[Thu Jul 7 19:49:39 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "That sounds very wise."
[Thu Jul 7 19:49:50 2005] : (2) Huerney: "That way we keep you well above the dangerous rapids"
[Thu Jul 7 19:49:56 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "That's what I meant, especially if I tie the other end to me"
[Thu Jul 7 19:50:21 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I wouldn't want to lose your rope"
[Thu Jul 7 19:50:35 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Yes, good idea, so if it's stuck we pull it out with our combined strength"
[Thu Jul 7 19:50:43 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I have 100ft of rope here."
[Thu Jul 7 19:50:57 2005] : (2) Huerney: "We will need 150 feet"
[Thu Jul 7 19:51:04 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I have another 50"
[Thu Jul 7 19:51:16 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Then we are ready for the attempt, I think."
[Thu Jul 7 19:51:24 2005] : (2) Huerney: "great, let's tie them together"
[Thu Jul 7 19:51:45 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "We should test all the knots as well as we can before Holly steps over the edge."
[Thu Jul 7 19:51:57 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "And make a good job of it, it's my life on the line after all"
[Thu Jul 7 19:52:04 2005] : (2) Huerney: Huerney ties the ropes together to make a long rope
[Thu Jul 7 19:52:15 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc we need Ahylanne's flying wings...
[Thu Jul 7 19:52:29 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella assists Huerney
[Thu Jul 7 19:52:31 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Use Rope Skill Check: [1d20+6] -> [1,6] = (7)
[Thu Jul 7 19:52:32 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc Take 10
[Thu Jul 7 19:52:36 2005] : (2) Huerney: Use Rope Skill Check: [1d20+4] -> [10,4] = (14)
[Thu Jul 7 19:52:39 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc Ouch
[Thu Jul 7 19:53:01 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc Taking 10 :)
[Thu Jul 7 19:53:19 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev assists too, unless that counts as "getting in the way"
[Thu Jul 7 19:53:24 2005] : (2) Huerney: +2 bonus for silk rope =16
[Thu Jul 7 19:53:50 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Silk rope gets a bonus?
[Thu Jul 7 19:53:56 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc or 18 for Holly
[Thu Jul 7 19:53:57 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I will tie this end around myself."
[Thu Jul 7 19:54:01 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc yes, it does :-)
[Thu Jul 7 19:54:28 2005] : (3) Hollyella: So 18 for me, +2 synergy bonus for Huerney
[Thu Jul 7 19:54:32 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Shev, wrap one loop around the pillar, it will make it less likely for the rope to slip"
[Thu Jul 7 19:54:45 2005] : (1) DM: You splice the two ropes together. It seems secure enough.
[Thu Jul 7 19:55:09 2005] : (1) DM: ooc splicing is stronger than knot, btw.
[Thu Jul 7 19:55:10 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella ties the rope of climbing around her waist and holds the loops in her hand
[Thu Jul 7 19:55:17 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev makes a couple of passes around the pillar, then ties the end off.
[Thu Jul 7 19:55:32 2005] : (1) DM: Use rope checks for the people tying knots.
[Thu Jul 7 19:55:41 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Use Rope Skill Check: [1d20+1] -> [14,1] = (15)
[Thu Jul 7 19:55:49 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc Just one loop, stand behind that and use it to lower the rope gently
[Thu Jul 7 19:55:50 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc can we not ake 10?
[Thu Jul 7 19:56:12 2005] : (1) DM: ooc yeah
[Thu Jul 7 19:56:53 2005] : (2) Huerney: Holly gets 20 with assistance, I can sing to help her if you like...
[Thu Jul 7 19:56:56 2005] : ** (2) Huerney begins his bard song... Inspire Competence (+2 to skill roll, lasts for 2 minutes (take 20)) **
[Thu Jul 7 19:57:38 2005] : (1) DM: ooc tying a knot is DC 10. you can dispense with the singing.
[Thu Jul 7 19:58:09 2005] : (1) DM: Holly, are you climbing down or being lowered?
[Thu Jul 7 19:58:15 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I'm ready." Shev anchors himself as securely as possible, and prepares to belay
[Thu Jul 7 19:58:16 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc LOL
[Thu Jul 7 19:58:35 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Getting lowered seems wisest to me
[Thu Jul 7 19:58:52 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Minimises the potential fall damage.
[Thu Jul 7 19:58:54 2005] : (2) Huerney: "We'll lower you down gradually. The loop on the rock should help to even out the descent"
[Thu Jul 7 19:59:17 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Just listen out to any yelling from me"
[Thu Jul 7 19:59:27 2005] : (2) Huerney: Huerney helps Shev with the lowering
[Thu Jul 7 19:59:42 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I hope shev's got good ears, you know what mine are like!"
[Thu Jul 7 19:59:51 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I can but try."
[Thu Jul 7 19:59:58 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "And take it very easy, I'll need time to evade the rock face"
[Thu Jul 7 20:00:21 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "We can go as slowly as you wish."
[Thu Jul 7 20:00:21 2005] : (2) Huerney: OK
[Thu Jul 7 20:00:48 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Right, let's get on with it"
[Thu Jul 7 20:00:50 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Why don't you shout out 'LOWER' as long as you want us to do so?"
[Thu Jul 7 20:01:07 2005] : (2) Huerney: "And 'STOP' if that's what you want"
[Thu Jul 7 20:01:13 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella steps off into the air
[Thu Jul 7 20:01:19 2005] : (2) Huerney: "OK, let's go"
[Thu Jul 7 20:01:21 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Will do. Lower"
[Thu Jul 7 20:01:31 2005] : (2) Huerney: Huerney helps Shev with the rope
[Thu Jul 7 20:01:47 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev pays out the rope a little at a time
[Thu Jul 7 20:01:50 2005] : (1) DM: Tar, make a strength check.
[Thu Jul 7 20:02:15 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Str check: [1d20+5] -> [9,5] = (14)
[Thu Jul 7 20:02:20 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Lower"
[Thu Jul 7 20:02:35 2005] : (1) DM: Hollyella decends lower and lower into the ravine.
[Thu Jul 7 20:02:41 2005] : (1) DM: How far down are you going?
[Thu Jul 7 20:03:09 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Either to the end of the rope or until 2-3 feet above the water
[Thu Jul 7 20:03:14 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc 150 feet is the length of the rope, so no further than that
[Thu Jul 7 20:03:34 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Whichever comes first
[Thu Jul 7 20:03:49 2005] : (1) DM: You'll need about 10 ft to hold onto.
[Thu Jul 7 20:04:11 2005] : (1) DM: You reach the end of the rope. Holly, you're about 60 ft above the bottom of the ravine.
[Thu Jul 7 20:04:22 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc luckily the rope of climbing is 60 feet long
[Thu Jul 7 20:04:29 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc of course :-)
[Thu Jul 7 20:04:33 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Casting detect magic
[Thu Jul 7 20:05:14 2005] : (1) DM: ooc I thought it was 100 ft?
[Thu Jul 7 20:05:58 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc 60 I think
[Thu Jul 7 20:06:14 2005] : whispering to Hollyella, You spot the magical glow of the sword on the bank about 20 ft away from the cliff face. It's lying underneath the remains of the bridge -- some planks still tied together with rope.
[Thu Jul 7 20:07:23 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella extends her arm and points the rope of climbing towards the cliff face
[Thu Jul 7 20:07:46 2005] : (3) Hollyella (whispering): Can the rope of climbing reach it?
[Thu Jul 7 20:08:24 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev sits patiently
[Thu Jul 7 20:08:28 2005] : whispering to Hollyella, No.
[Thu Jul 7 20:08:55 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Damn!"
[Thu Jul 7 20:09:11 2005] : (3) Hollyella (whispering): Hoiw much more do I need?
[Thu Jul 7 20:09:54 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I wonder what's the matter"
[Thu Jul 7 20:10:51 2005] : (1) DM: Does the diagram help? Each square is 10 ft.
[Thu Jul 7 20:11:47 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc ah, a trigonometry problem!
[Thu Jul 7 20:11:48 2005] : (1) DM: pythagoras says you need 63 ft of rope.
[Thu Jul 7 20:12:40 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Get me up, we need to try something else"
[Thu Jul 7 20:12:56 2005] : (2) Huerney: Huerney helps haul holly back up
[Thu Jul 7 20:14:00 2005] : (1) DM: Holly reaches the top safely.
[Thu Jul 7 20:14:15 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Was there a problem?"
[Thu Jul 7 20:14:37 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Right, tie the rope around my legs, lower me upside down, I need just another couple of feet"
[Thu Jul 7 20:15:01 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella ties the rope of climbing around her wrist
[Thu Jul 7 20:15:21 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Very well."
[Thu Jul 7 20:15:23 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "This should give me the lenght I need"
[Thu Jul 7 20:15:32 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev does as directed
[Thu Jul 7 20:15:44 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Umm, if you're sure!"
[Thu Jul 7 20:15:55 2005] : (2) Huerney: "It looks dangerous Holly"
[Thu Jul 7 20:16:04 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ""
[Thu Jul 7 20:16:16 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "What's life without danger?"
[Thu Jul 7 20:16:30 2005] : (2) Huerney: Huerney laughs nervously
[Thu Jul 7 20:16:48 2005] : (2) Huerney: "OK, lets get you down"
[Thu Jul 7 20:17:04 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Ready when you are"
[Thu Jul 7 20:17:34 2005] : (1) DM: You lower her down again.
[Thu Jul 7 20:18:24 2005] : (3) Hollyella: At the end of the rope Hollyella extends her arm again and points the rope of climbing at the sword
[Thu Jul 7 20:18:52 2005] : (1) DM: The rope ties itself around the part of the sword that's visible under the wreckage of the bridge.
[Thu Jul 7 20:19:06 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc Bert shoul be with us by about 9
[Thu Jul 7 20:19:23 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc Great :D
[Thu Jul 7 20:19:26 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev sits and waits, unable to do anything else productive
[Thu Jul 7 20:19:50 2005] : (1) DM: As Tar lets go of the rope...
[Thu Jul 7 20:20:01 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella tries to pull the sword out from under the rubble
[Thu Jul 7 20:20:16 2005] : (1) DM: ooc only kidding. Tar, try to remember what you're doing.
[Thu Jul 7 20:20:25 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc he has it around his waist
[Thu Jul 7 20:20:25 2005] : (1) DM: Make a strength check Holly
[Thu Jul 7 20:20:36 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Str check: [1d20+0] -> [14,0] = (14)
[Thu Jul 7 20:20:38 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc I meant sitting sand waiting while holding it around my waist
[Thu Jul 7 20:21:17 2005] : (1) DM: You give it a sharp tug but it doesn't budge. It's pinned down by the bridge wreckage.
[Thu Jul 7 20:21:21 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc Doesn't sound too safe to me, sitting down while you're trying to keep someone from falling
[Thu Jul 7 20:21:58 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc bracing feet
[Thu Jul 7 20:22:06 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella gives it another pull
[Thu Jul 7 20:22:07 2005] : (2) Huerney: "How's it going?"
[Thu Jul 7 20:22:11 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Str check: [1d20+0] -> [5,0] = (5)
[Thu Jul 7 20:22:29 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I can't get it loose!"
[Thu Jul 7 20:22:36 2005] : (1) DM: Even worse. You don't think you're strong enough to pull it free.
[Thu Jul 7 20:23:13 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Can you tie the rope fast around your body and we'll try to pull you and it. Or do you think it might hurt you to do that?"
[Thu Jul 7 20:24:29 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I can try, but I don't know if the rope's long enoug for that. Let me try something else first"
[Thu Jul 7 20:25:00 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella directs the rope to untie the sword and tie around some of the rubble on top of it
[Thu Jul 7 20:25:23 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc smart thinking!
[Thu Jul 7 20:25:32 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc ty :)
[Thu Jul 7 20:25:48 2005] : (1) DM: The rope ties on.
[Thu Jul 7 20:26:07 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella pulls the rope to shift the rubble
[Thu Jul 7 20:26:14 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Rinse and repeat
[Thu Jul 7 20:26:35 2005] : (1) DM: Unfortunatly, it's even harder than pulling on the sword. most of the bridge is still ties together.
[Thu Jul 7 20:26:54 2005] : (3) Hollyella: You're mean!
[Thu Jul 7 20:27:44 2005] : (1) DM: ooc that's what the M in DM stands for.
[Thu Jul 7 20:27:52 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc KMAO
[Thu Jul 7 20:27:54 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc "Devilishly Mean"?
[Thu Jul 7 20:28:58 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc that makes you sound like Terry Thomas or Leslie Phillips!
[Thu Jul 7 20:30:34 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I think that there's nothing for it, someone stronger will have to go down and pull it out by hand"
[Thu Jul 7 20:31:13 2005] : (2) Huerney: Huerney grabs a rope off Belros or Ayhlanne who are standing idly by ;)
[Thu Jul 7 20:31:48 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "How good is the cliff face? If there are decent handholds, I could go down using the Rope of Climbing.
[Thu Jul 7 20:32:07 2005] : (1) DM: The cliff face is rough with plenty of hand holds and the like.
[Thu Jul 7 20:32:23 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I don't know, lets get Holly up again and ask her"
[Thu Jul 7 20:32:27 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella is thinking: with the rope tied around my wrist, they'll pull my arm out of my socket, tied around my waist it won't reach. I can't shift the rubble by myself
[Thu Jul 7 20:32:31 2005] : (2) Huerney: "We'll pull you back up holly"
[Thu Jul 7 20:32:41 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I think you'd better"
[Thu Jul 7 20:32:47 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev starts raising Holly
[Thu Jul 7 20:33:02 2005] : (1) DM: Holly is hauled back up to the surface again.
[Thu Jul 7 20:33:03 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I lack the strength to get the sword out"

[Thu Jul 7 21:14:51 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Trail rations will still sustain life, and that is what we need."
[Thu Jul 7 21:15:44 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Aye, they sustain, but I can't help but think of juicy pork crackling and roast potatoes with tick gravy!"
[Thu Jul 7 21:15:50 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: I'll take the first watches
[Thu Jul 7 21:15:55 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc thick!!

[Thu Jul 7 21:17:02 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I could use that armour, if no-one else wants it - I can sleep in it, and be better able to fight, should we be attacked at night."
[Thu Jul 7 21:17:37 2005] : (2) Huerney: "That's fine by me, although we generally sell surplus goods"
[Thu Jul 7 21:17:38 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Be my guest"
[Thu Jul 7 21:17:55 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I'll use it until we return to civilisation, at any rate."
[Thu Jul 7 21:17:58 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "If he can really use it, it's not surplus"
[Thu Jul 7 21:18:04 2005] : (2) Huerney: "But I guess it's not surplus if it's your nightshirt"
[Thu Jul 7 21:18:05 2005] : (5) Belros: "Not many places to sell around here"
[Thu Jul 7 21:18:14 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "We can decide later."

[Thu Jul 7 21:20:01 2005] : (1) DM: The night passes uneventfully.
[Thu Jul 7 21:20:13 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I already have a cloak of resistance, and besides, i think that my taking Marnak's quite powerful rapier means I should allow others to take more items than myself for a while"
[Thu Jul 7 21:20:52 2005] : (2) Huerney: huerney gets some shuteye
[Thu Jul 7 21:21:14 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev wakes up and gets ready for another day's travel

[Thu Jul 7 21:22:30 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I'll hold off on the heavy coat for now though"

[Thu Jul 7 21:22:59 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I'm ready to ride. I have warm smallclothes."
[Thu Jul 7 21:23:36 2005] : (2) Huerney: "OK, shall we head off when Holly is ready"

[Thu Jul 7 21:29:04 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella shivers
[Thu Jul 7 21:29:55 2005] : (1) DM: As you ride on, the trail climbs gradually following the river.
[Thu Jul 7 21:31:19 2005] : (1) DM: After several hours of traveling you see the dirty white tongue of the Tathal glacier. The Tathal river forming from it's melt waters.
[Thu Jul 7 21:32:05 2005] : (1) DM: The trail veers to the right and climbs up the side of the valley before levelling off and ending at the edge of the glacier.
[Thu Jul 7 21:32:39 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Well, we appear to be approaching the witch's domain."
[Thu Jul 7 21:33:34 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Still riding. Still alert, or trying to be.
[Thu Jul 7 21:33:43 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I don't know. Glaciers are common in the mountains"
[Thu Jul 7 21:34:15 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Aye, but how many do we know of in this range, on this trail?"
[Thu Jul 7 21:34:15 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "But it does look like a place she might call home"
[Thu Jul 7 21:35:40 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I don't know of any other glaciers at all, but the tales tell of them in the mountains"
[Thu Jul 7 21:35:49 2005] : (2) Huerney: "It does Holly"
[Thu Jul 7 21:36:14 2005] : (1) DM: The surface of the glacier is rough and ridged.
[Thu Jul 7 21:36:39 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "We're not going to take the horses over this, are we?"
[Thu Jul 7 21:36:52 2005] : (2) Huerney: Horsey walks on unhindered by any mere surface anomaly
[Thu Jul 7 21:36:53 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "It won't be easy to do so."

[Thu Jul 7 21:37:21 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Oh, I wasn't having any troubles, and never thought of the rest of you"
[Thu Jul 7 21:38:03 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "So, do we leave the horses here? They may not survive either way."
[Thu Jul 7 21:39:10 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I don't know what to do. Huerney: what do the tales say of these glaciers?"
[Thu Jul 7 21:39:21 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I would rather ride - I am better in combat on horseback."
[Thu Jul 7 21:39:54 2005] : (2) Huerney: Knowledge: Geography Skill Check: [1d20+2] -> [2,2] = (4)

[Thu Jul 7 21:40:46 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc not a lot of scientific knowledge of them, but what do the tales say??
[Thu Jul 7 21:41:07 2005] : (1) DM: Bardic tales tend to not cover the practicalities of adventuring.
[Thu Jul 7 21:41:25 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc LOL
[Thu Jul 7 21:41:28 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Knowledge: Geography Skill Check: [1d20+4] -> [18,4] = (22)

[Thu Jul 7 21:41:57 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I know of glaciers, but the tales don't go into much details"
[Thu Jul 7 21:42:01 2005] : (1) DM: A number of tales of beasts fought bravely on the ice. Ice bears, winter wolves and the like.
[Thu Jul 7 21:42:07 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc "And verily, they rode for many a league, and it was hot and they did sweat heavily until their armour chafed most grievously."
[Thu Jul 7 21:42:22 2005] : (5) Belros: ooc eewww
[Thu Jul 7 21:42:42 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I would rather ride. I will do so as far as I can."
[Thu Jul 7 21:42:44 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc LOL
[Thu Jul 7 21:42:45 2005] : (2) Huerney: "We can expect to find maybe, ice bears, winter wolves, perhaps frost giants if we're unlucky"
[Thu Jul 7 21:42:56 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc ROFL
[Thu Jul 7 21:43:05 2005] : (5) Belros: "Frost Giants? I dont like the sound of that"
[Thu Jul 7 21:43:07 2005] : (1) DM: The horses will ride on the ice but only slowly.
[Thu Jul 7 21:43:23 2005] : (2) Huerney: "And nor should you Belros!"
[Thu Jul 7 21:44:06 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc My knowledge check had no result?
[Thu Jul 7 21:44:46 2005] : (1) DM: ooc sorry didn't see that.
[Thu Jul 7 21:44:47 2005] : (5) Belros: "We may as well try and ride on the ice"
[Thu Jul 7 21:45:22 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "It will be no slower than walking."
[Thu Jul 7 21:45:30 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Riding presents me with no difficulties, these horseshoes mean that we don't touch the ground"
[Thu Jul 7 21:46:12 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "And what if a hole appears beneath the surface?"
[Thu Jul 7 21:46:20 2005] : (2) Huerney: Huerney White-eye casts Eagle's Splendor ( level 2, "Increases Charisma by 1d4+1.==> [1d4+1] -> [1,1] = (2)" )
[Thu Jul 7 21:46:32 2005] : (5) Belros: "Then it would likely have appeared if we were on foot"
[Thu Jul 7 21:46:37 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Then we will likely fall."
[Thu Jul 7 21:46:56 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "It is not something we can predict; we must just take the risk."
[Thu Jul 7 21:47:09 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc huerney casts mending on the glacier ;)
[Thu Jul 7 21:47:24 2005] : (1) DM: ooc I think it's Wilderness Lore to know about the dangers of travelling on glaciers.
[Thu Jul 7 21:47:32 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Wilderness Lore Skill Check: [1d20+3] -> [10,3] = (13)

[Thu Jul 7 21:48:45 2005] : (1) DM: ooc Only the one who's leading should make the roll.
[Thu Jul 7 21:49:16 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc Why? Since we're all discussing the dangers
[Thu Jul 7 21:49:31 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc I didn't think we were riding yet.
[Thu Jul 7 21:49:32 2005] : (1) DM: ooc It's to see if they lead you around hazards instead of into them. Hazards including, but not limited to, hidden cravasses.
[Thu Jul 7 21:49:40 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc OK.
[Thu Jul 7 21:49:56 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc ic
[Thu Jul 7 21:50:12 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I have no knowledge of this terrain. It would be better for someone else to lead."
[Thu Jul 7 21:50:20 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc where's the ranger when you need her?!
[Thu Jul 7 21:50:26 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc hmm, and our ranger was only saying last week how she felt like a ranger for the first time!!

[Thu Jul 7 21:51:13 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Hollyella, would you like to lead?"
[Thu Jul 7 21:51:14 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc She said last week she probably wouldn't be able to make it tonight
[Thu Jul 7 21:51:46 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Sure, as long as you look out for frost giants"
[Thu Jul 7 21:52:16 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella leads her pony on the glacier before mounting
[Thu Jul 7 21:52:23 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I'd do it, but we all know how observant I am..."
[Thu Jul 7 21:52:24 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I'll be ready."
[Thu Jul 7 21:52:38 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I'd probably lead us straight down a crevasse!"
[Thu Jul 7 21:52:49 2005] : (3) Hollyella: ooc Everytime I write glacier I want to spell it gletscher
[Thu Jul 7 21:52:56 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev has his sword ready.

[Thu Jul 7 21:53:30 2005] : (1) DM: Holly, are you riding your horse?
[Thu Jul 7 21:53:33 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I'll lead yours with the others"

[Thu Jul 7 21:54:03 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I,m not much use in the saddle"
[Thu Jul 7 21:54:18 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "That would be excellent, thank you."

[Thu Jul 7 21:54:30 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: ooc I guessed :-)
[Thu Jul 7 21:54:34 2005] : (5) Belros: "Perhaps I should aso dismount"
[Thu Jul 7 21:55:03 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I think so Belros, we are less likely to penetrate any weak ice"
[Thu Jul 7 21:55:06 2005] : (5) Belros: Belros dismounts
[Thu Jul 7 21:55:22 2005] : (1) DM: Hollyella is riding in the lead, Tar is on a floating horse and the rest are leading their horses?

[Thu Jul 7 21:55:32 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Shev should be OK on my horse, he puts no pressure on the surfaces he's above"
[Thu Jul 7 21:55:39 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "If you're all walking, so will I"
[Thu Jul 7 21:55:49 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I think that's best Holly"
[Thu Jul 7 21:55:54 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: I'm going to ride.
[Thu Jul 7 21:56:07 2005] : (5) Belros: "I thought you might like to look down at us for a while"
[Thu Jul 7 21:56:20 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Hollyella laughs
[Thu Jul 7 21:56:25 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "I'm tall enough to have a fair try at that by myself!"
[Thu Jul 7 21:56:32 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev grins
[Thu Jul 7 21:57:30 2005] : (1) DM: Right, holly is leading her horse as are the others except Tar who's riding.
[Thu Jul 7 21:57:32 2005] : (1) DM: ?
[Thu Jul 7 21:57:44 2005] : (3) Hollyella: Yep
[Thu Jul 7 21:57:44 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Shev will you hang back somewhat? That way if we fall, you shouldn't go down with us"
[Thu Jul 7 21:58:04 2005] : (2) Huerney: "And if anything happens in front of only you, you can jump over"
[Thu Jul 7 21:58:11 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "Yes, I will do. I have rope in my saddlebags, which should help."
[Thu Jul 7 21:58:14 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "Yes, I believe we should spread out a bit, and perhaps tie ropes between us?"
[Thu Jul 7 21:58:23 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Here take my rope of climbing too"
[Thu Jul 7 21:58:33 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "That would seem sensible." (to Hollyella)
[Thu Jul 7 21:58:36 2005] : (2) Huerney: "Or maybe I should hang onto it?"
[Thu Jul 7 21:58:54 2005] : (5) Belros: "Yet again I curse myself for not replacing my rope"
[Thu Jul 7 21:59:01 2005] : (2) Huerney: "No, you at the top would probably be best"
[Thu Jul 7 21:59:06 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: "You take it; I can lower a rope partway if need be."
[Thu Jul 7 21:59:07 2005] : (3) Hollyella: "I think you should hang onto it until we really need it"
[Thu Jul 7 21:59:13 2005] : (2) Huerney: OK
[Thu Jul 7 21:59:16 2005] : (2) Huerney: "OK"

[Thu Jul 7 22:02:07 2005] : (5) Belros: [1d4+1] -> [2,1] = (3)

[Thu Jul 7 22:02:31 2005] : (2) Huerney: ooc yes, but it's at level 3 as it's on armour
[Thu Jul 7 22:02:57 2005] : (5) Belros: oco ahh, k thought you were casting it yourself
[Thu Jul 7 22:03:03 2005] : (1) DM: *crack*! Holly's horse disappears into the ground and there's an unpleasant thud and snap.

[Thu Jul 7 22:04:55 2005] : (4) Tar Shevran: Shev rides up to the hole

[Thu Jul 7 22:36:26 2005] : (2) Huerney: "I have no ale, but I have half-water, half-wine to share, if any would like some. It's not as hearty as ale, but serves the purpose of loosening the tongue and stretching the lungs in this thin air"
