OOC: ok, reality check: can one person hold a rope while another climbs down? Can two?

OOC: Are you volunteering to go first? I was going to send Nan. If you are going, pls check the water depth to see if we can jump down safely if neccessary.

And too bad about that door, eh?

Nan picks up the pail. Ya never know.

OOC: Been waiting for fire......I guess he can catch up while I get the rope tied.

IC: Nan and Gran search for something, anything solid to anchor the rope to with a secure knot, testing it to make sure it will hold.

OOC: Or are we literally talking about flat ground here outside of the well?

3 damage. He only had 2 hp, and is a gonner. Gran already had the rope. Not sure if Luc had a lantern or not, but if so, Gran snatches it and sprints for the well before the door falls on her. Nan hopefully has finished gathering up everything and sprints for the well as well. They tie the rope secu...

OOC: NP, fire. I thought for sure the door would do it. Maybe it needs to be in an enclosed space or something. I'm just really glad I had Luc stand in front of Gran. Not quite ready yet - I'm going to have to look things up (like who's carrying what) to take my turn properly.

Ah, crap. Ok. Gran and Luc take what they have already collected and cower under the door, with the symbol facing upward. Luc holds up one end and is on the side closer to the phantom to make this possible. Nan hurries to collect the few remaining items and join them. If someone dies, pls let me kno...

Ah, yes, sorry. Change that to what fire said pls.

Agree on the water......would be nice to have the option of jumping down.....although we have to be careful nothing cuts our rope.....maybe leave someone topside?

Are we waiting for me? If so, back to the well. Gran carries all the cabin loot for now, including more torches, Nan goes first, and Luc brings up the rear, maybe carrying the back end of the door? Luc ties the rope to the most stable part of the superstructure, takes a lighted lantern, and descends...

OOC: I was thinking we could place the door over the well to offer it's protection to us while we are inside.
Of course, if it's currently keeping something we don't know about trapped inside the cabin, then we're screwed

OOC: Sorry, lots of RL going on.
IC: Gran aims through the doorway, just in case. Nan and Luc go in and gather up everything.

OOC: Ok, cabin #1 it is then. IC: Nan leaves the cabin carefully, taking the jug (What is in the jug?), fiddle, and lantern. She hands them to Luc, who goes first. Nan brings up the rear, with Gran and the elf in the middle, as they head back to cabin #1, intending to take everything there and bring...

OOC: How about we split up, and meet back at the well? I'm not quite willing for Amalthea to be a non-combatant, but I am willing to pair her with Nan, my most expendable PC. They could go to cabin #3, which is closer, and bring *everything* with them back to the well. OOC: Gran and Luc would go to ...

OOC: Looks like we had many of the clues in the first cabin....Thanks Raven for the kind reminder! OOC: Luc already has 50 feet of rope. OOC: Okay, the broken Hawthorn walking stick is in the first cabin. This cabin has the devil's thorn on the door. BTW, how heavy is that door? OOC:The rest of what...

OOC: Sounds like we have a plan of action. I remember that walking stick......gonna have to search previous posts.

Does anything seem like it could be made out of holly? Anything unusual about the pictures, or are we talking about "My house" "My family" kind of pictures?

OOC: It's just as well our GM took a break. Life has been crazy this week. Busted pipes and everything. OOC: Fire: yeah, just kinda wanted to get ahold of some holly to take down with us if possible. IC: Luc and Gran hold position outside and hold aim. Nan climbs partway up the ladder and carefully ...

OOC: Fire, we have rope. And torches.
Raven: How is Nan's search of the main room going? Not going to blindly rush in this time. Gonna keep her covered.

OOC: Fire, looks like you've lost some control over your future familiar. :/ And I forgot to pick up Marissa's ranged weapon. Do you have a missile weapon? If so, would you mind covering one of the interior doors with it? Going to try to avoid dying this time if I can help it. IC: Luc gives the rope...

Nan steps up to the window, looking specifically at the layout of the building and to see if anything seems to be made of holly.

OOC: Was thinking of something a little more violent. IC: Nan and Luc heave the wooden horse through the window, (the horse has got to be sturdy if it can take an adult's weight, right?), and ready their shovel and pitchfork a pace back, looking cautiously in through the window at the same time. Gra...

OOC: It's tempting to just burn the cabin down. But we need holly. From now on every one of my characters is looking to see if things are made of holly. Does the cabin have windows? With glass and all?

"Luc has rope. But you may be right. At the very least we should get some Holly for protection before venturing down there" - Gran OOC: Completely agree, and was hoping you would say that, but wanted to check if the well was worth coming back to, first. Luc has 50 feet of rope - the rope i...

Fire: What do you think? Has Luc found the way out or just another lair of something that wants to kill us?

OOC: Sorry, long week. Looks like I missed the start of a new game too :( Luc wants to check out the well, and he's already gathered stuff to go do so, so he should be a bit ahead of the group. At the well, he drops one of his torches down the well while watching carefully to see what he can see dow...

In DCC, any PC can attempt a spell check using 1d10. If you wanted to try to use the book to do this, I would probably allow it.... :twisted: I may take you up on that. Gran is going to memorize Patron Bond for use when hope is gone and all friends and allies are dead. Did Luc find any Holly in the...
