If everyone manages to post before Monday night, I'll post, if not, enjoy the holiday and we'll pick up Tuesday.
Happy Easter everyone.
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 Friday April 6th, 2012 4:02:12 PM
Thar, with a friendly voice, says, "My friends, we mean you no harm. I am Thar ail Baerer, a healer and friend of all who live in woods and mountains... It sounds like we're here for the same reason. We're looking for a friend of ours too who is missing, and maybe whoever took Rolf took our friend too. Could we share information with each other and maybe work together to find Rolf and our friend?"
Revi AC30/15/29 | 197/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) Saturday April 7th, 2012 2:20:40 PM "Yeah, what he said," Revi adds in, resting the flat of the blade of her greatsword on her shoulder in a nonchalant way.

Wise Tishe' may be, but she knows when someone with a silver tongue is needed and wisely keeps quiet. She lands, but keeps her broom in her hand for a quick movement to get away from the giants' long reach.

Seated atop the 16ft high Huge sized Rinn, Lia is in the position to look down on the smaller of the giants. "If you'd prefer, we can speak in this language?" she offers in giant-tongue.
"jWhat Thar says is true. One of ours has also been taken. Perhaps working together we can find out what has happened? We would be happy to do what we can to collaborate." Lia addresses the speaker of the giant group (diplomacy 27)
Lia holds up her hand in the air and looks to the nearby trees in all directions "I have instructed our archers not to attack you"(bluff 42)
DM - JC ------- Fee Fi Foe Fum OMG it's Giants --------- Monday April 9th, 2012 1:58:42 AM
Lia, you only are looking down, if you're standing on his back, these giants top 20 feet plus some.

The biggest one, the one carrying the battle axe looks around and tries to see if any of the group is sneaking, to attack.
"What u's no bout missin Rolf?"
He also has his axe in his hands, not held in a hostile attack type of position, but held so that if any attack is started, he'd be ready without delay. He also eyes the big cat like creature, being sure to watch it in case....

Tishe's brown eyes sparkle as she waits for the giants to respond. "Thar, you saw how old the tracks were in the village. If they disappeared the same time as thier friend Rolf, we have a pattern!"
Revi AC30/15/29 | 197/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) Tuesday April 10th, 2012 10:42:22 PM
Not much of a talker, Revi stayed alert for any signs of attack.
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 Wednesday April 11th, 2012 9:36:33 AM
Thar nods enthusiastically at Tishe' and says, "Yes, we saw some tracks near an abandoned village... Someone or something stole everyone away from it and I have a feeling that it's the same person who took our friend and Rolf..."
He describes the tracks he saw to the giants and asks, "Where did you last see Rolf? Maybe we can go there and help you see if we can find any traces or evidence that will help us find him and our friend?"
Caedmon Bogha AC 31/24/30 --SR 24 -- CMD 40/48 -- HP 158/158 Wednesday April 11th, 2012 7:23:15 PM
Caedmon continues to hold his bow, not in a threatening manner, but much like the giant is holding his axe.

Lia doesn't particularly trust these giants, but a frontal attack isn't exactly her preferred plan of attack either. "Perhaps we could work together on this?" she says aloud to Tishe "We go look for Rolf and the other missing people in the valley. And if we return successful, perhaps our friends here would help us pulverise a certain dwarf?"
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 Thursday April 12th, 2012 10:05:26 AM
Thar likes Lia's suggestion and says to the giant, "OK, can you show us where he was seen last, maybe down in the valley? I'm an excellent tracker too and I'll see what I can find out, even if the trail is a few days old... Is one of your group good at tracking and if so, I'll work with him..."
He'll climb down the tree and go up to the giants in a friendly manner. He's not sure how giants usually greet each other, but the offers his hand in friendship.
If they agree to show him the way to the valley, he'll join their tracker and try to learn more about its geography before they depart to begin searching...

Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Thursday April 12th, 2012 2:13:26 PM
Pleased with the bargain with the giants, Tishe' only nods, eager to get a look at the Valley and compare it to the markings on her map.
Caedmon Bogha AC 31/24/30 --SR 24 -- CMD 40/48 -- HP 158/158 Thursday April 12th, 2012 7:17:18 PM
Caedmon awaits the Giants decisions. At least if they agree he will get to do something he is good at... tracking.
If not and they attack... well he may still get to do something he is good at.
DM - JC ------- Fee Fi Foe Fum OMG it's Giants --------- Friday April 13th, 2012 11:03:04 AM
One of the other giants speaks up, "Youz no gonna fooz uz, youz small peoplz, small peoplz no truss worthy. Bain, youz no letz 'em getz away wit it." The leader giant turns and looks at the speaker and nods after he speaks. He then speaks up. "Youz muss provez ta uss that youz not onez dat took Rolf."
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 Friday April 13th, 2012 2:52:42 PM
Thar's a little taken aback by the giants unfriendly nature, but tries not to let it show. "OK, how would you like us to prove we didn't take Rolf? If we did take him, do you think we'd be here talking to you like this? Whoever took him would probably have attacked you by surprise and killed all of you. We, on the other hand, offered you a hand of friendship... We're simply trying to find our friend too and if you don't want our help finding Rolf, I understand. But working together will help you find Rolf faster..."
Revi AC30/15/29 | 197/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) Friday April 13th, 2012 4:01:00 PM
Revi steps forward, "I can prove we didn't take Rolf, because anyone who knows the following can't be bad: One fish two fish red fish blue fish black fish blue fish old fish new fish some are red and some are blue. some are old and some are new. some are sad and some are glad. And some are very, very bad. Why are they sad and glad and bad? I dont know. Go ask your dad. Some are thin and some are fat. The fat one has a yellow hat. From there to here, from here to there, funny things everywhere. Here are some who like to run. They run for fun in the hot, hot sun Oh me! Oh my! Oh me! Oh my! what alot of funny things go by. Some have two feet and some have four. Some have six feet and some have more. Where do they come from? I cant say. But i bet they have come a long, long way. We see them come. We see them go. Some are fast. And some are slow. Some are high. And some are low Not one of them is like another. Don't as us why. Go ask your mother.
A sly grin on her face, Revi acted as if she just cast a confusion spell.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Saturday April 14th, 2012 3:58:39 PM
Tishe' has another way to prove they don't have Rolf. "Do you have anything that belongs to Rolf?", she asks the giants. "Using a personal item of his, I can cast a spell and see where he is and what he is doing."
If the giants are agreeable, Tishe' casts Scry to look for Rolf.
Lia -- AC21/15/18 (25/15/22 if near Rinn) - CMD21 - HP141/141 [Rinn AC33/10/31 - CMD 38 - HP145/145] d20+20=37 ; Sunday April 15th, 2012 11:56:21 PM
Lia raises an eyebrow as Revi speaks. She then addresses the giants in their native tongue "Um... excuse her. She gets hit in the head a lot".
Swapping back to the common tongue, Lia continues "If we had anything to do with Rolf's disappearance, why would we still be here? And honestly, could six small people such as us really be a match for Rolf? All this talk is wasting time that could be used to search for the missing"
Ready an action should the giants move to attack: Intimidate: 37 "This is your last chance. I'm warning you not to do anything stupid"
DM - JC ------- Fee Fi Foe Fum OMG it's Giants --------- d20+20=27 ; Monday April 16th, 2012 10:39:24 AM
The biggest giant, the one called Bain speaks again after the litany from Revi, he looks directly at her and when he speaks it is with as clear an accent as he can muster, it is also slowly paced as he is being sure of his words. "Don't think us foolish, or just plain stupid because we do not speak with a clearest of voice. We are beings of the sea and know full well there are not any fish with feet as you tried to tell us, you speak in riddles trying to confuse us. That makes you untrustworthy and none shall deal or listen to you further." He then looks to Thar, "You idez haz itez merritz, weeth both groupz look'n double da efforts." Then he gets a mean look on his face as Lia speaks, he steadies his grip on his very large axe but he stops speaking as he contemplates the threat that was just leveled at them....
Lia -- AC21/15/18 (25/15/22 if near Rinn) - CMD21 - HP141/141 [Rinn AC33/10/31 - CMD 38 - HP145/145] Monday April 16th, 2012 11:44:09 AM OOC: Sorry, I may have been unclear. The "intimidate" action was the one I had readied should they look like they were preparing to attack. If they were still docile then no threat would have been made
Regardless...
Lia doesn't say any more to the giants. It's clear she isn't popular with them, and anything she says now could push them over the edge. She instead holds her gaze at the leader of the giants, and waits to see what will happen.

Revi AC30/15/29 | 197/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) Monday April 16th, 2012 11:48:53 AM "Pfft," was Revi's response, then more to herself, "We're definitely not dealing with intellectual giants here." Looking to the rest of her group, "Are we about done here? Let's get back to looking for what we were looking for, we're just wasting time here."
New Snafu- AC 27 (T12, FF/24), HP 134/134 Monday April 16th, 2012 1:19:01 PM
Snafu saw that they had reached a critical point with the giants. The last hope of peace rested with Thar and the progress he was making.
"Thar is right" Snafu said. "We gain much by working together. It could mean the difference between life and death for both of our friends."

Thar smiles at the giant and says, "Thank you for recognizing that by working together, we can do much more. I'm sorry for my friend, as she doesn't always think before she speaks. Being friendly and diplomatic is not her strength, but in a battle, she's the one I'd want watching my back. I think you and I will get along fine and I'm sure we'll find Rolf and our missing friend too...."
Hoping to keep its attention towards him and away from Revi, he says to the giant, "My companion Caedmon is also a skilled tracker, so he can help us look too. So shall we move on to where you saw Rolf last? The longer we wait, the longer his captor has to escape."
If the giant agrees, he'll take point with the giant's tracker and Caedmon (if he agrees), and go towards Rolf's last reported spot...
Caedmon Bogha AC 31/24/30 --SR 24 -- CMD 40/48 -- HP 158/158 Monday April 16th, 2012 8:01:59 PM
Caedmon prepares to make the split second decisions of going tracking with Thar and the giant or putting an arrow in the giant leaders head. "I would much prefer to track." he says in a barely audible whisper.
DM - JC ------- Fee Fi Foe Fum OMG it's Giants --------- Tuesday April 17th, 2012 3:25:49 AM
Forgot to add the following:
Bain hands Tishe` what is effectively a very heavy duty single edged broadsword, but in the giant's hands it's only a dagger, but in Tishe`s hands it's of simply massive proportions. Bain watches carefully as Tishe` preforms the ritual of scrying (takes an hour) and she can feel the vision wanting to form upon the caldron's water's surface (I am assuming you don't have the simply expensive and large silver mirror, but using water in the caldron fits with the witch class, even though it's supposedly only for the "divine" casters). Just as she thinks something is about to reveal itself, she gets the exact same rupulsion effect she got when she scryed for Kahlan.....

Caedmon keeps his bow ready with an arrow at rest. He looks around for any other threats but seems to be paying more attentions to the failed scrying.
DM - JC ------- Fee Fi Foe Fum OMG it's Giants --------- Wednesday April 18th, 2012 10:27:36 AM
The uneasy, it shouldn't be called a truce, but maybe an alliance, heads off to the west, but goes almost a full days walk, (about 20 miles, it takes about 8 hours of fairly steady travel) once the sun comes fully up. Bain points far up the mountain and says, "Home iz upz der, dis iz da valie." A search of the area, it has been almost two weeks since Rolf vanished, (11 days) the trail shows many giant foot prints, including those belonging to the group you are all traveling with.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Wednesday April 18th, 2012 12:25:34 PM
Tishe' uses the day to recharge her staff, and accompanys the giants. The scry block is all the confirmation the witch needs to know deep down that Rolf is wherever Kahlan is. "And where Skalipy is too. I've tried scrying him before and always get the same reading. He knows my magics and is countering them. What he doesn't know is the capabilities of Revi, Caedmon, and Lia. That should give us a surpirse!"
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 d20+9=14 ; d20+26=32 ; d20+21=34 ; Wednesday April 18th, 2012 3:53:47 PM
Thar stops and looks where the giant points. As he sees the multiple prints and tracks, he knows it'll be a challenge finding the most recent ones, but he tries anyway... He looks for several things: 1. Tracks that are about 2 weeks old rather than recent, 2. Tracks that aren't "giant like" 3. Areas where it seems a struggle or fight took place (broken bushes, lots of footprints and depressions, etc.), as it's doubtful Rolf would have went without a fight...

Lia doesn't say much more to the giants after that. They don't like her, she doesn't like them. "Perhaps when they have completed their end of the agreement..." she thinks to herself with a smile.
Rather than focusing on the footprints and tracks as the others seem to be doing, she keeps an eye on things in the distance (Perception: 47 - Nat 20)

DM - JC ------- Fee Fi Foe Fum OMG it's Giants --------- Thursday April 19th, 2012 11:55:13 AM
The group spends the remaining daylight (about 2 hours) before it gets way too dark to see anything useful. As they return to a "central" area which they determined earlier as where they would camp, the trackers all begin to discuss their findings.
About 100 yards from where the base of Shadow Mountain is, there is a roadway, that sees quite heavy usage. In fact a small convoy of traders went past. It contained four wagons loaded with trade goods, two wagons loaded with provisions to feed the mules, horses and the drivers as well as the half dozen hired guards. So any tracks on the road are most likely useless. Caedmon found a set of giant tracks nearly two weeks old that lead from the mountain to the area not to far from the road road. Another set of old tracks showed that a couple horses and a pony crossed through the area on or about the same day as the solo giant tracks, but the tracks from the giants having searched for a few days have fairly well destroyed any tracks there were. The giants easily break off limbs of trees and quickly get a fire going for the evening, they are still uneasy around some of the groups members but are now seemingly giving the group as a whole the benefit of the doubt.....
Revi AC30/15/29 | 197/197 | CMD 37(41sunder) Thursday April 19th, 2012 1:34:41 PM
Revi sleeps and takes a watch if one is set.
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 Thursday April 19th, 2012 2:41:41 PM
Thar considers that Caedmon found and says, "It sounds like those giant tracks may be our best lead at this point, and I'm curious who was with that horse and pony group that passed by the same day... I say we follow those in the morning and follow them for a while..."
While the fire is going, he'll set up some simple snares and traps around the area to give advance warning if any unfriendlies show up that night... He'll take a watch too, suggesting that they have both giants and PC's share watches...
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Thursday April 19th, 2012 2:47:25 PM
Tishe' is interested in the "merchant caravan" that went through. "How many merchants would come so close to Shadow Mountain? Could this actually be a resupply convoy for Skalipy? I wonder if following the caravan tracks, especially since they are easier to follow, would help us tomorrow?"
In the meantime, Tishe' organizes a night watch so everyone can sleep. The group takes it in 1 1/2 hour turns with: - Lia - Revi - Snafu - Thar - Tishe'
Caedmon Bogha AC 31/24/30 --SR 24 -- CMD 40/48 -- HP 158/158 d20+25=30 ; Thursday April 19th, 2012 5:00:16 PM
Seeing he was not assigned a watch and only needs two hours of sleep, Caedmon will sleep the first two hours and will stay awake and alert the rest of the night.

DM - JC ------- Fee Fi Foe Fum OMG it's Giants --------- Thursday April 19th, 2012 11:56:39 PM
Not surprisingly nothing disturbs the group with the giants along for the night's camp.
following the two horses and the pony, the trail gets lost after about a mile, as the road's traffic has destroyed the tracks. The merchant caravan is fairly easy to catch up to in the morning, and they seem to be headed for the river ferry.
Bain, trying to be diplomatic, "What ju searchin da ground fer. Doze tiny traks? Wha doz tiny traks have ta do wit Rolf? Rolf iz a big man like me."

Thar patiently explains to Bain, "We think he may have been captured by some bad guys who work for a guy Skalipy that we've fought before. He has a tendency to use merchant caravans to trick and capture unwary people and then use them to experiment on. We've rescued others that he's captured and its possible that he may have Rolf and our friend. I think we should check this caravan out further and catch up with them to ensure that they're not with Skalipy..."
He looks at his fellow adventures and asks, "What does everything think? We're running out of places to search and this may be one of our best leads..."
If they agree, he'll track the caravan and try to get closer to them. However, he'll remain stealthy and wants to get to a point where he sees them but they don't see him. That way he can observe them and find out some more information...

Caedmon thinks out loud before setting off again. "Should we get close to the caravan, perhaps I could approach, acting as a traveler interested in a purchase. If it is Skalipy, he shouldn't know me, or that I am with you."
DM - JC ------- Fee Fi Foe Fum OMG it's Giants --------- Sunday April 22nd, 2012 6:35:06 PM
Taking Caedmon up on the idea of letting him go ahead and check out the traveling merchant, it only takes him 15-20 minutes to catch them, shortly after they broke camp after lunch. As he trots up to them, to draw swords and lay them across their saddles, the other three guards draw either a bow or a crossbow and aim it at him. The wagon driver says something to someone inside the wagon, he then hears... "Why can't idiots that want to buy something ever catch up to us when we're stopped!" A rotund bald dwarf appears beside the wagon's driver. He looks at Caedmon, "I sure hope you're planning on buying something, everytime I stop it adds at least an hour to my travel time. I gots a load of farming tools and a half dozen plows. I also got some preserved foods, I had extra room and since they don't go bad...."
The guards keep a good close watch on Caedmon as he gets closer, the two with longbows spread out and keep watch around for others who might be with Caedmon and trying to rob the merchant.

"I apologize for the trouble. It is the food that I am most interested in buying. I hunt for most of what I need, but it is nice to have reserves that don't spoil. I would love a few pounds of salted meat if you have it, and some type of drink, ale or wine would work nicely. Also, do you have any other types of food, preferably something sweet?" Caedmon eyes the longbowmen suspiciously, wondering what kind of threat they would pose. He also tries to determine if there is anything suspicious about the merchant.

Lia hangs back with the giants. The sign of them would likely spook the merchants. She does her best to make pleasant conversation though "So... you normally get much trouble in these parts?" she asks one of the giants, other than Bain. She still doesn't trust them though, and reminds Rinn to be ready to run.

Thar asks the giants to stay back, as they're much harder to conceal... He stays in the woods and creeps closer to the merchant and remains hidden and quiet...

Those looking on, as well as to Caedmon, the dwarf is not anyone you recognize.
The Dwarf mutters to himself and it includes something about pains and the rear end. He pulls out a drawer from the side of the wagon, it's filled with portions of salted meats (5 lbs each) and a hard biscuit of some sort. He opens a door in the front of the wagon and it reveals about ten 5 gallon wooden kegs.
"The biscuits are 10 for 5 gold, as you can see they pack nicely, them being square and flat and all. The meat is 5 gold a block, there is bison, venison, goat, horse, and pachyderm. I also got true jerky of the same types, 10 strips for a gold."
As Caedmon is deciding, one of the archers makes his way back near the wagon, "Boss, there's some giants eyeballing us, we better get moving again and soon."
The dwarf looks ready to close up shop, even with a buyer looking at his goods.

The Dwarf starts looking around, worried it might be a trap or that they might just be attacked by the giants....
"It'll be 10 gold for the meats, another 6 gold for the keg, gotta charge you for the keg itself since I doubt I'll ever see you again. And make it fast, I'm gonna be moving on in the next couple minutes, don't wanna tempt those giants in case they ain't friendly."
The guards close near the wagon, and as quickly as the product it taken out of the wagon, the drawers and doors are closed and secured, and as soon as the dwarf gets his money, the wagon is off and moving, away from the giants, and the rest of the group, even though it's not known if the guards noticed the group as well as the giants.

Tishe' knows from other scouting trips that Caedmon may take a while. To pass the time, she brings out a bag of wool and a drop spindle and uses the time to have her hands make some fine thread. Her mind really isn't on the work, but her skill makes up for that, her deft hands twining the thread as the spindle drops and rises evenly.
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 Wednesday April 25th, 2012 3:51:26 PM
Thar sighs as the caravan seems to be a dead end.... He though they might have had a chance there to find something...
After the caravan leaves their sight, he confers with the giants leader and his fellow PC's. "Well, that didn't get us anywhere... Any ideas on where to check next? "
He adds, "Tishe', can you show the giants the map and maybe they're familiar with the mountain area and where these hidden trails are? Even if we couldn't find them, they might be able to help."

Tishe` pulls out the map for the Bain to look at. He takes his time and soon starts giving names to each of the labels. Apparently he can read the ancient language, or at least he seems to know what each label says, except for those with the arrows.
Caedmon Bogha AC 31/24/30 --SR 24 -- CMD 40/48 -- HP 158/158 Thursday April 26th, 2012 2:01:54 PM
Looking at the map Caedmon shrugs. "Looks like the one under Shadow Mountain says something akin to "Two Dilles". The one below that says "Hidden Entrance" Can't make out the last very well but I think it says "Six Miles".
Caedmon looks for some more affirmation. "What do you guys think?"
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 Thursday April 26th, 2012 3:13:58 PM
Thar listens to the conversation about the map and says, "Well, I'm running out of ideas here.... Bain, we think this is the lair or hiding place for the dwarf who might have taken our friend and Rolf. If we could find this secret entrance, then we might be able to free them. The X marks the spot and since you know this area better than us, could you take us there?"
(OOC - DM, I think we're running out of ideas here and I'm concerned about the fruitless progress...
1. We've been searching by ourselves and didn't find anything despite great tracking and perception rolls. So searching on our own doesn't seem to be an option. 2. The only traceable tracks we've found near where Rolf was taken essentially led nowhere. We have no more tracks available at that site, again with good tracking and perception rolls... 3. The giants have no clue and their assessment of the map didn't help much. I'm grasping at straws trying to get them to help us find the hidden entrance. 4. Our search of the abandoned village gained us nothing in re: to finding the hidden entrance.
As a result, and not wanting to speak for everyone, we've spent the last several weeks of real, game time getting nowhere. And as you can see, our posts are down too, possibly due to waning interest, whiich I can sympathize with too. Have we missed something, some subtle clue that we overlooked in our last month of posting? If not, then it seems we may be at a dead end? Anyone else have any ideas?
Thanks, Ken)

Everyone Highlight to display spoiler: { I've been ad libbing for a couple weeks, mainly due to you having skipped a complete encounter, I added the giants to the module as well as the trader on the road, you have gotten back on track through help with the map, but just know that deciphering the map is extremely important in the future, it could mean life or death entirely for everyone. Just a hint for the future. DM JCC }
With the help of Bain and the other Giants, it takes only a few hours to find the "hidden" entrance. It seems to be in the shadows of a group of very large boulders, and goes into the mountain a few yards before it goes almost straight up vertically. You'll have to squeeze through a medium sized opening about 4 yards from the entrance. Just behind this smallish area in a alcove there is a blanket, it seems to be wrapping something, that something isn't moving though....

Whatever it is, it either came down from above, a tight fit for a "Taur" or it came through the hole, a very tight fit for a "taur"

Thar looks up the tunnel, and since it's a tight fit, he might be the best one to go up and check it out... After lighting a sunrod (if needed), he moves and climbs slowly (very slowly) and goes past the alcove... He wants to get the rest of the group in there before they examine this mysterious object...
While climbing and moving, he's looking around himself closely, making sure he doesn't get caught off guard by any threats...

The translation by Bain only confirms what Tishe' already deciphered before the group ever left Cinnamon Valley [DM - Highlight to display spoiler: {see posts on 15 and 16 January 2012}. However, in bringing the map our again, it lets the Witch take another look at it.
"Clearly, it says 'Six Miles' and 'Hidden Entrance' here and here", she says pointing with a finger, "But let's not be too confident at what the final words actually mean. Looking at the other words, there are 7 letters of the alphabet that are not accounted for: F, G, J, K, Q, X, and Z. There are also sound combinations that the first and third rune may represent: CH or CK or SH for example. The first rune may be D or M or something else. Simillarly, the third rune may be L L but may be something else."
Tishe' rolls different combinations off, writing them in the dirt.

DM - JC ------- Where does this tunnel go... It goes up & up & up --------- Sunday April 29th, 2012 4:15:13 PM
After it appears that most of the group squeezes into the inner part of the tunnel, the blanket is nudged and looked over carefully. It only moves when nudged and it makes a soft sound of metal rubbing on metal as well. Finally someone grabs the blanket and it's discovered that it's not a blanket, it's actually a cloak and the stuff under the it is a set of armor and other gear. A closer look, it looks suspiciously like Kahlan's gear.
Going in to where the tunnel turns vertical, well just off vertical by maybe 10 degrees, you look up. There isn't any true ladder or anything, but you look up into the darkness, it seems to go on forever. The size is comfortable for a medium sized person, but still quite tight for a taur. (any climbing for a taur is at -4 for the tight spaces, unless they are made medium sized or smaller.)
To climb requires a DC 18 check, (5 of them) If you fail one immediately roll a DC 24 climb to catch yourself, if failed, roll DC 24 climb checks equal to the number of successful climb checks made before the failure. Depending on which check is failed, determines how much damage is taken.
Example: Bob makes 3 DC 18 checks, before failing a climb check. Bob makes a DC 24 climb check to catch himself, but fails, he makes another DC 24 and makes it. He will then take 1 bunch of damage, and still needs 3 successes of the DC 18 climb rolls to reach the top.
It could be truly deadly to fall from the very high up the climb.

Having never met Kahlan before, Lia looks at the gear with only mild interest.
She looks to her eidolon, and telepathically requests that he remain where he is. Should the distance between them reach 100ft, Lia will take a standard action to dismiss him from this realm. Rinn simply huffs and lays down on the ground. Nobody builds big tunnels anymore.
"Though I can't help anyone else with flight, I can make you - shall we say - less bulky. I could also fly up and perhaps fasten a rope or two?" Lia offers to the taurs. She crosses her arms and slowly starts to rise in the air, but awaits someone else to take the lead. (Fly upwards at an angle greater than 45' = DC20. Lia's skill + spell = 14. Taking 10 = 24 = Pass)

Thar looks up at the long climb and wonders about how to get everyone up there safely. Nodding in response to Lia, he says, "Yes, great idea. I've got some rope I can donate to help and if we tie it off at regular intervals, that should help everyone make the climb safely... We should also take Kahlan's gear with us, maybe tie it up in a bundle using the cloak and then bring it up by itself using the rope?"
If she agrees, he'll give her his rope and show her how to tie it off correctly... Once done, he'll volunteer to be the first to climb up...
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Monday April 30th, 2012 12:40:29 PM
Having an audience, Tishe' begins to tell of what she knows... "Xills appear to be a mix of insect and reptile, with four arms and a pair of mandibles. They are aggressive and like to implant thier eggs in living hosts..." She stops as the armor is pulled out of the bundle.
"That is Kahlan's armor", she whispers. "We are on the right track. It makes me wonder, however, about if she never came back this way, how did her horse get the map in its saddlebags? This has to be a trap from Skalipy to get us to come out here. And if it is a trap, we will have to be very careful." There is no talk from Tishe' about leaving. A former packmate is in trouble, and she will not leave just because there is a high possibility of danger.
"If it is a trap, then Skalipy knows we went to the abandoned shed and probably knows we have Lia with us too. He is holding all the cards in this little game right now." .....................
For the chimney climbing, Tishe' puts a hand on Lia's arm. "Save your Reduce Person spell. As a Witch, Sargrass has also granted me that power and it is as simple as a White Spell for me, a cantrip."
"Now, the giant would not have been able to get through here, so there may be other exits. We can only assume that this one is heavily trapped, and certainly will make us vulnerable. Any ideas on how to reduce our vulnerability?"
Tishe' thinks that maybe Lia could conjure some small climbing or flying animals and send them up to scout the chimney before the adventurers try and climb it. She also wonders if there is a magical way to bypass the climb altogether. The last possibilty is to Reduce Person the taurs, have a climber or flyer anchor ropes on the way up, and then use physical muscle to get up (even Caedmon the centaur).
Actions: Tishe' can cast Reduce Person as a cantrip

DM - JC ------- Where does this tunnel go... It goes up & up & up --------- Tuesday May 1st, 2012 12:59:47 AM
The tunnel up must have slight turns in it, even though it appears almost straight, you can't see to the top of it. Plus, your vision only can see out to 60' most likely 120' at maximum.
Tishe` riding her broom up will take quite awhile, if she plans on taking 10 each try. Caedmon, without knowing where you are going, it's awful hard to to abundant step to the top. If you tried, you might appear only part way up the tunnel. (it's almost a mile to the top of it, so I condensed the climbs to only needing 5 rolls, rater than figuring out how many each player would need.) Lia can easily float up, mostly.(even magic flight requires skill rolls now, sorry, Lia falls into the same category as Tishe` using the fly spell) Thar suggests using the ropes tied together, but you'd need to go up so far, have everyone ascend to that point, go up again and repeat it until the group reaches the top....
How do you wish to proceed? If you use the rope idea, it will double the skill rolls, but it will add +6 to your skill roll. (remember a natural 1, still fails, but the rope will also add it's +6 to your check to stop falling.)

With a nod, she bids Rinn some rest from this plane. The eidolon seemingly dissolves into a fine mist and vanishes as the rune glowing on Lia's head fades away.

"Hold it, Caedmon, let's get the scouting report first."
Tishe' waits expectantly for the scouting report by Lia's Invisible stalker.
Once there are no known traps or lurking monsters about, Tishe' casts Alter Self on herself, causing her to morph into a half-orc, thus gaining Darkvision. Her first spell fizzles, but the second is good. She then casts Reduce Person on Caedmon and Snafu.
Then, merely holding her Broom of Flying, Tishe' ascends vertically with the knotted rope, a couple of iron spikes and a hammer.
The witch doesn't want to take a lot of time and so doesn't Take 10, preferring to allow her Darkvision and expert flying skills fly up vertically. 200 feet up, she pounds the spikes to the wall and jerks the rope for the others to climb.
Actions: cast Alter Self: 6 fail, 2nd 31 success; alter to half-orc with 60' darkvision. cast Reduce Person: success, success Fly with Broom; vertical is 1/2 movement, double move = upwards 60' in one round.

During the scouting, Revi says to the rest, "I have boots of levitation and can take an additional 300lbs at a time. I can ferry those that can hold onto, or tied up by the rope so none of us fall."
Revi will ferry any up if they like, after the scouts return saying it's clear.
Thar, AC 25, 132/132 Tuesday May 1st, 2012 3:11:16 PM
Thar agrees with holding off until the scouts return with their reports. He plays with the ropes for a while and then slaps himself in the head when he sees Revi use her boots. "I just bought a pair of those levitation boots a few weeks ago and forgot I had them. I can levitate up too and can help out with ferrying people up the tube. However, I want to see what's in store for us before we go..."

DM - JC ------- Where does this tunnel go... It goes up & up & up --------- Tuesday May 1st, 2012 4:19:22 PM
The scouts return just over 12 minutes later, well you assume that they return because one of them speaks out loud."We traveled just over 1500 feet, the tunnel was still continuing straight up, or at least close to straight up, nothing but the walls and the extremely crude hand and foot holds the same as here were evident." (figured the distance covered up for 9 rounds, then doubled it, and then full moves doubled coming down.) As it finished speaking it goes, "pop", so do the other two and they're gone.
Tishe' (AC:27 Touch 27 CMD:20 HP 115/115) Tuesday May 1st, 2012 6:49:02 PM
"Too far for the rope, but long enough that no traps happened or things came out to attack them. I say we start climbing or levitating or flying, yes?"
Tishe' asks those who can fly, livitate, etc to go up first, then those who are climbing and up the chimney they go.
Tishe' uses her Broom to vertically fly up.

Lia uses her overland flight spell to rise higher and higher in the air. The narrow passage does make things difficult for her at times, and the going is slow, but she gets there.
DC to Fly at an angle >45' = DC20. Fly rolls: 17, 27, 25, 25, 17, 22, 15, 33. 3 did not beat DC20. I believe per the skill writeup, rather than actually falling, Lia instead makes no progress. DM call though that she might instead 'bump' into the walls?

Thar activities his boots of levitation to start going up the passage. He follows the rest while watching for any other side passages or oddities along the way...
