"I guess that was our freebie for today."

Fire was such a wonderful thing, wasn't it? You couldn't ask for a more invincible warrior than the very spirit of consumption itself. "Very nice aim, Darilan. I just wish every battle was that easy." He stepped into the room cautiously, looking about to make sure it was clear.

Oh, right, Valens.

Closing his eyes, the mercenary uttered a prayer for the still-wounded General as he waited for the others. No point in wasting time. [Favor of the Goddesses on Valens]

Taint stood there stupefied by what had just happened. It worked like a charm, and without any risk to his vital organs! He smiled widely, and patted both Saber and Darilan on the back. "Nice work! I appreciate the thought!" He nodded to the others, and continued forward cautiously alongside the group. Whatever was ahead, he was ready for it. He tested the narrow bridge out with his foot before allowing anyone to cross.

[Awareness check]

OOC: Never can be too careful.

Simon moved quickly into the chasm room, following the others after Darilan's brilliant tactic. He couldn't resist to thank the scribe. "Thanks, Darlian," he commented. "Clever of you to use an ember seed," he said with true reverence. Meanwhile, he scanned about his surroundings, his eyes finally landing on the bridge. Was it truly as sturdy as it appeared [Insight Check]?

OOC:

RG, you didn't carry out the healing spell on Simon when he last cast life on himself. It's cool., I'll take care of it, and I'll round down too.

The chamber before the group looks plenty empty now: all the enemies have been slain by the Adventurers' quick cunning. Valens starts moving back to the front of the group, intent on leading the way into this new territory, but stops short as the light of the goddesses descends around him (15+4 vs. 15 Pass) (+21 HP Valens). He turns and nods to Saber in thanks, then looks back to see the others already making their way across the bridge. Well, they've probably earned the right to lead, he decides.

Though Taint isn't really able to tell how sturdy the bridge might be (5+ vs. 15 Fail), it doesn't give way under his weight -- a good sign, though not exactly conclusive. Simon's scholarly knowledge, on the other hand, backs up that supposition rather nicely (12+5 vs. 15 Pass), for when he examines it he is able to see that the thick stone bridge holds no fractures or signs of damage. It's narrow, but they only need worry about falling, not the bridge's collapse.

Valens: 41/41 HP

Leth, after having re-strung his bow, slung it over his back and began to carefully make his way over the bridge. He tried not to look down, as it did seem a rather long drop, but the moment got the best of him and he took a glance.

Yikes.

He quickly averted his gaze back up the stone bridge he was now walking across.
Normally, I don't mind heights. But that looks like a rather painful fall. Leth thought to himself as he picked his way across the gap. Once across, he did not go any farther, but opted to look around and be sure everything was safe [awareness check]

Saber followed after Leth, crossing the bridge and heading through the door on the other side, looking around to take in the new environment. They may have gotten lucky that time, but that didn't mean the rest of this journey was going to be a piece of cake.

OoC: *bump to get RPer attention; RG- feel free to delete this post upon reply*

Both Leth and Saber make it safely across the bridge, and their entrance into the next room thankfully goes unnoticed by its occupants; there are six Bokoblins sitting around in the middle of five large statues, their weapons at their sides as they jabber on in some forsaken language or other. The Ranger and Nomad were partially masked by shadow, but it wouldn't be too long before they were seen if they stayed where they were.

Leth quickly sized up his surroundings, and instinctively drew his cloak up around him in the hopes that it's dark color would help disguise him against the shadows. He immediately began looking around the room for any sort of pitfall that could help them take out the creatures en masse quickly; attacking right then seemed like a bad idea due to the lack of present backup, but he didn't want to wait too long and risk the bokoblins noticing them. Maybe a hanging chandelier that could could be cut as to fall on the unsuspecting victims, or perhaps one of the statues could be pushed over? Anything would be useful at the moment. He tried to look thoroughly, but quickly, because he did not know how much time he had before the bokoblins discovered them. [Awareness Check] [insight check?]

Simon stood by the chasm for what seemed like an eternity, gazing down into the dark abyss. He tested the bridge again with his foot - twice actually, for extra measure. It would be such a shame to come this far in his journeys just to fall here. He drew up his courage and finally crossed the bridge. He crept into the next area, realizing that his allies were being just as cautious.

Seeing the threat, the scribe remembered that only three of them had crossed the bridge. If they tried to fight the enemy now, it would be a very rough fight. If those statues were more of the Armos Knights, Simon shuddered at what that could mean for a future fight. Simon realized it was a long shot, but if he could glean what the Bokoblins were talking about, they might be able to abstract some of that information for there advantage. He tapped his two fellow adventurers on the shoulder and made a halt motion with his hand by having his palm facing out. He cupped his hand to his ear and leaned his head over for a second, indicating that he wanted to listen in. Hopefully they would understand. Then, he stopped with the charades and began actually trying to listen. He strained his ears to pick up any sounds possible and he prepared his mind for attempting to translate an unknown language on the fly [Translate Check].
