You find the Rift near dark. You know you need to find a place to shelter till daylight. The Rift looks deep and dark. Your new items illuminate the space around you, but you know you will need a rope or find a way to climb down to the bottom of the Rift. Nearby is an empty cave that looks safe to camp. Again, it is your luck that a large shelf and air pocket create a 25 foot high by 60 feet circular dome that is nearly dry and breathable, though the air is stale...

You can easily access the shelf above without a need for ropes or a skill check.

Mole dies not listen he gets into the shelf and once he is the pocket gets his pipe snd ties to light it up for no success as it is all wet. damn it
Mole takes organizes his stuff to dry through the night hoping to smoke at least in the morning.

You camp, more or less for the night. It is uneventful and you feel rested and ready for the day.

Biscuits eats a biscuit and asks, "Who is ready for a climb?"
Dec 16, 2025 4:46 am
Mole smokes his pipe and smiles. The sooner better.

After eating Varos is ready to proceed, he picks up his new staff"Are we ready?"

you move towards the precipice and you can see that there are many handholds to climb down. also, your weight belt will allow you to drift slowly towards the bottom, some 30 feet down.

Handholds undwewater? Anyone understed why? Mole is surprised, but not for long. Eager to test his new toy (bow) he drifts down, holding his bow.

Biscuit: "Mole, if you prefer, you could hold my hand instead." He then drifts downward.

Varos will drift down with the others

You reach the bottom and on one side you see darkness, sand, and the beginnings of a stone path. The other direction you see darkness and more sand. Your weapon emanates a soft blue light that illuminates a 15' radius around it.

is it a magical darkness that a darkvision can not see through? I have a darkvision 120 foot

OOC:
Not magical. Good call

Biscuit: "Shall we take the stony path?"

OOC:
@DirtyDwarf77 - can you remind me - your PC is Halfling, isn't he? No darkvision there
@mathias0077 - Varos i believe is either elf or half-elf, isn't he? Darkvision 60?

I would like to postpone my PC actions until I have a confirmation.

I would also like to know if stone path follows straight these 120 feet I can see and if there are any other objects to right and left of the stone path.
