For a moment, Talia wonders what part of 'don't go up there without a rope' Pral didn't hear.
"Med, do you have another of those spells?" she asks him urgently. If so, perhaps Elendil can get up there quickly and help. If not, then unless someone has any other suggestions, she runs for the doorway beneath the balcony, hoping that it has stairs up to Pral, and trying not to wonder what she is going do if she manages to get up there.
John: All right, what bright games designer gave Speak With Animals a range of 0?!
"There's no time for me to find the spell in my pack, we have to go now!" Med says as he readies a dart and runs towards the doorway beneath the balcony. "Pral we are coming!" Med states loudly, hoping that he doesn't get cut in two as he opens the door.
Matt: I will try to decipher the text and post a poorly drawn party map.
I have no problem with a "Caller" role being assigned, but I think it should rotate rather then have 1 person be "stuck" with the honor. Another option would be for players to post 2 or 3 options in order of their preference. EX) Joe the Barbarian will try to judge how far it is across the dark chasm. A) If he thinks he can jump it he will. B) If it's too far but he thinks he can toss a rope and grapple across and have it catch onto something he will try to do that and then climb across. C) If it's too far he will walk along the chasm until he does find a place he can cross. Thoughts?
John: And so the two unarmoured spell casters bravely rush in to help fight creatures who have already dispatched our well-armoured fighter. Shall we start rolling new characters now?!
Ben: I think Speak with Animals has a range of zero because the target is the spell caster herself. Its area of effect is a 4” circle around the caster. I take this to mean that Talia could communicate with any animal that is within forty feet of her.
As for the rope, I wasn’t sure what to think. It had already been established that there wasn’t any rope available.
John: Ah, that might make a difference...how far away are the spiders? If less than 40 feet, then Talia will instead call out for them to stop attacking her friend, and that they mean the creatures no harm.
Ben: Unless the spiders have moved away from Pral, Talia can easily get within forty feet of them. If she casts the spell, does that change Med’s plan to run north and look for stairs? Brother Landrau seems read to follow him if he goes. Elendil lurks mysteriously, his intentions still unclear.
Med will continue to make haste to the door below the balcony. He knows that should Talia be able talk the spiders out of their current course of action she will happily relay that information. If the spell should fail or the spiders ignore her, will then Med won't have any qualms about attacking. Hopefully, Brother Landrau follows and he can aid their fallen friend.
