Some quick math 9 rounds at 40' per round (for those in heavy armor) get you up there, same to get down. After that, well the seven minute limit you take up top is something you'd need to manage.[Chapter 9] The Parched Dunes

"we can bring rope and pitons to the top and lower ourselves back down that way if we take too long up top?" Selqet suggests

"Going down certainly seems more possible than up," Tabat relents, "My only concern is with the speed and control of that descent."
OOC:
Tabat has a +1 climb, mostly due to his armor check penalty. A failure at that height...not a good thing lolLast edited April 24, 2026 12:26 am

Whats the total distance? If we have enough rope we can knot it and its a very easy check

So we'd need 700 feet of rope, probably not realistic. We're back to a quick look, or coming back when we're more prepared for that climb

Tabat has 50ft of silk rope, up to you all! A quick look is fine by me - we'll trust the GM to let us know when we've looked so long we need to be hurrying back down.

I can fly up there via hex and take a look around. Up the spire to the airie and circle around the galleon. If anyone wants to join, finger is locked and loaded.Apr 28, 2026 5:35 am
Callum flies up and finds a huge bird's nest atop this ancient wreck. In the center of the nest there is a massive green egg, the size of a person. Whatever made this nest, it's likely large enough to have carried the ship up as part of the nest.
OOC:
There's nothing interesting about the ship, but the nest is large and could contain much. If the bird doesn't come back...Apr 28, 2026 10:49 am
Perturbed by the size of the nest and it's inhabitants, a roc by the looks of it Callum knows he should quickly head back, yet the pull of treasure pulls him in. a quick peek is enough
He flies closer to the oversized egg, sensing out for magical auras or anything else that catches his eye.

Knowledge (Nature) - (1d20+5)
(14) + 5 = 19
Perception - (1d20+11)
(12) + 11 = 23

I think Qralloq mentioned ~ 2 min to ascend/descend, and ~ 7 min to explore. I can also cast the flight spell on myself if needing to continue. Shall I revise the previous post, or say I came down, reported, and we go back up?Apr 29, 2026 2:59 am
OOC:
One minute to ascend or descend so you've got a little time to come down and report.Apr 29, 2026 3:55 am

Metagaming, I know, but I say explore, grab what you can, and come back down. Mom's not home right now, and if she arrives you zip back to us ASAP.load next
