"Hmm. still a bit of a jump. I doubt I could make it, but you could probably get across the gap with ease, Aspirant. Good luck on your journey. I bet you'll find some interesting things in the ruins, even if you don't find the Orb."

[randomgenericusername]

"...Are you sure about that? I don't think it would be good to abandon you here with the guards."

"...Couldn't you use your diving to make yourself ligther? That way, I could use my wings and carry you with me to the ruins.

Spoiler: Lokam Pilgrim (click to show/hide)

Name: Lokam Pilgrim

Description: Lokam is an Ethral Aspirant of the Tenebrous Chruch currently on pilgrimage. His soft fur is pale yellow, his large and fuzzy mane is golden and antennae and wings are dark purple with white details. His antennae, unlike most Ethral, are also very long and fluffy. Most of the time, he's wearing his silky church robes, which also have a hood included. His mask is very dark purple, with bright yellow spirals and curves, similar to tentacles.

Goal: His goal is to just complete his pilgrimage and ascend in the chruch. He wishes to go as deep as possible and someday become a Living Saint, Stygian or even a member of the Council. But his dream is to someday go deeper than everyone, reach the center and finally find God.

"The line is secure now, right? I'm done waiting, I want to see these ruins up close."
Just climb down our rope to the ruins. If I lose grip I can always just glide down, anyways.

Spoiler: Wiellste, bravest moth! (click to show/hide)

Name: Wiellste Gunsmithy

Description: A young Ethral, no taller than 4 feet. Her fur is unpatterned and a milky white. Usually wears a rather plain quilted brown silk cloak, and a polished copper mask with symmetrical, spiraling lines etched on the sides.

Goal: Wiellste is like many Ethral in that she seeks to gather knowledge about the world before all else. Though being an Ethral from Knot, her skills are largely more on the practical building side than the scholarly side. She isn't particularly invested in the teachings of the Tenebrous Church, but the idea of the spheres intrigues her, especially Balarim, with it's writings and technology.

((PW said on discord that just tying the rope to ourselves/rope harness is safe and he won't roll for the descend itself now that we have the winch system set up correctly. We'd still need a roll to tie the knots securely, but doing it right once means we can assume we manage the others as well. So yeah, we can leave this turn if we want to!))

"Ah, perhaps we should just tie ourselves down with the excess rope and lower ourselves, so we can get moving. Brother Clate, you seemed to do a good job with the winch, perhaps you could help the others get tied up with a sort of rope harness so we can lower them?"

Help Clate with his work, then be lowered down.

Spoiler: Adam Blavatsky Darvaza (click to show/hide)

Name: Adam Blavatsky Darvaza

Description: A young man of slightly pale complexion and eternal 9 o’clock shadow, he was raised in a small village. While the village priest and passing mystics droned with endless sermons of the Church and their teachings, what had always captivated young Adam’s attention more were the stories of his Granny.

Old stories of the world as it once was, before people were forced to flee to the caves and crannies of this damp hell. Of warm days where pleasant green plants tickled your feet as you walked through them and a cool breeze blew through your hair. Where food was plentiful, nature was benign and endless vistas reached as far as they eye could see.

Adam was nominally a card-carrying member of the church, though he mostly did it for the connections and perks that brought. They were powerful and had ancient lore, all things he would need to fulfill his true heart’s desire: to return to the surface, vanquish the madness that tainted their homeland and reconquer paradise.


Goal: Plunge the secrets of the depths below to find an answer to the horrors above.

Clate gets out from the crawlspace, dusting off his cap

"Yeah, sounds good. Winch is set up nicely, so once we strap people into a harness we're ready to go."

Tie this rope into a harness so we can start lowering people down already. Also go down, but go last. If nobody is up here to control the winch, player or NPC, stay behind instead.

Spoiler: Clate (click to show/hide)

Name: Clate
Race: Shluck
Description: Being a Shluck, Clate is rarely seen outside of his environmental suit. Inside, he is the standard albino mollusk, with his only true defining characteristic being the alternating white/borwn pattern of his beak, much like on a nautilus shell. His environmental suit and exoskeltons are full of scuff marks and small blemishes from work, but the knowledgable observer will notice that it is mechanically kept in tip-top shape. He wears a toolbelt and a satchel to store his tools and other knickknacks, and has a blue cap perched on top of his helmet.
Goal: To create great works of craftsmanship and become filthy rich in the process.

[Legendary Marksdorf]

"No way ah'm missin' out on this ! Ah'll go down here too." Rick excitedly declares.

Go down into the ruins as well.

[Ozarck]

AsHul frowns momentarily.

"Abandon me with the guards, Aspirant? What could you do against the guards? I won't get lonely, I assure you. No, I won't be attempting to lighten myself in order to be carried across the gap. That has many unnecessary risks involved, and little reward for yourself or I. A pity my bridge was incomplete. I was looking forward to the search."

GM: Action in spoiler. Alternate action can be ignored.

Spoiler: Action Inside (click to show/hide)

Spell:Akhmah Sige (Altermaterial(Stone))

Path: 2 rolls
reinforce Akhmah: 5 rolls (should need much less material for this)
reinforce Sige: 5 rolls (for speed and location as well as size. don't want them to be able to react and kill us)
total Nerve rolls: 12 (Still at advantage, round 5/5)

Final "not insane" nerve roll
final "proper effect" Akhmah roll

14 rolls.

Goal: Floor spikes to kill our two guards with. Goal is to have the spikes dart up suddenly under and around them.

Spoiler: Alternate Action (click to show/hide)

I couldn't find anything in the Rules about multi-actionsphere spells, so consider this an experiment with their requirements and limitations. Last Spell of the Silent Night, may as well go out on a bang.

Spell:Akhmah Sige Hel (Alter and transmute material(Stone to steel))

Path: 3 rolls
reinforce Akhmah: 7 rolls (should need much less material for this)
reinforce Sige: 3 rolls (forming it into lattice as it extends is a tad more complicated than a simple spire)
reinforce Hel: 2 (Stone to steel. Seems like a simple enough transmutation)
total Nerve rolls: 16 (Still at advantage, round 5/5)

Final "not insane" nerve roll
final "proper effect" Akhmah roll (or is it 2, one for the transmute and one for the alteration?)

17 rolls. (18 f I need 2 Akhmahs at the end)

Goal: To transmute rock to steel and shape it into a lattice for both reinforcement of the existing half-bridge and to extend to the nearest tower. Draw the material from the walls, run it under the current spire, and extend it out. The lattice work should make it lighter, and the steel should strengthen the current structure, should the spell succeed.

Nothin' fer it, then. Though perhaps I should go down last, just in case, eh?

Descend. Last.

[randomgenericusername]

Lokam carefully walks to the end of the newly made bridge, but doesn't jumps yet. He waits for AsHul action to happen and if he fails to disable or kill both guards, he jumps and uses his wings to fly to the ruins. Otherwise, he stays with AsHul.

"I could stay to take care of the drill or I could go with you, either works." Vikkan said after leaving the cockpit to reconvene with the diving group.

"If I stay, I'm willing to lend my utility items, armor included, to the people going down to explore, though. I'll see if the guards can take care of lowering and raising the rope, since I doubt they'd leave us without anyone capable of doing at least that."

Check if one of the guards can do the lowering and raising of the rope.

[Gentlefish]

Considering our position directly above the ruins, Drett shall glide down along the rope in spiraling fashion to meet those on the ground AFTER AND ONLY  AFTER the first successful lowering.

Glad we are finally in a position where I will not be the first on the ground. I would be much remiss to leave you all without a proper caretaker.

Spoiler: Drett Medizin (click to show/hide)

Desc: Coated wholly in downy white bugfur, he is crowned with two fuzzy antennae and collared by a just-as-fluffy mane. His limbs are dainty, almost gangly if it weren't for his 4 hand a half foot stature. His cloak is a mottled light gray, able to blend in better with the environment than his alabaster being. A silver mask adorns his face, with a circle carve in the top third, stylized lightrays splitting the mask in half and coming down in symmetrical angles. The eyeslits are angled, almost malevolent looking.

Goal: Concerned with the Light of Knowledge, Drett has taken it upon himself to study the complexities of biological organisms, and lesser so, how those organisms may bond and interact with the world around them. Having learned all he could of Ethrals, he has signed onto the bore in order to better understand those species he coexists with
