after glancing around the room she realises the only way out is to follow the path their attackers took and hope they dont run into them again. "only way out right now is there" she says pointing to where their attackers had run off to." hopefully we can find another route once we get up there." she says as she turns back to xanadu. knowing it wasnt worth the risk of trying to go swimming again, not when they would be fighting the current are were both already wounded.

Xanadu looks around at all the various pools, "Could we just go back the way we came?" He looks from pool to pool, but they must all look the same to him based on his expression, and constantly searching eyes. "I think I could climb out that statue room, then pull you up after me." He says leaning forward and squinting at a random acidic pool. The men vanish into the darkness, leaving the pair of you in a room filled with a vast pile of wealth.

"we cant, between the currents and with what we just dumped into the water its going to be uncomfortable. i dont think either of us will survive the swim back right now." she says as she looks at him, more worried about him dieing in the water than she was about herself, she atleast could breath underwater.

Xanadu nods, "I suppose the chemicals would be uncomfortable at that. We could backtrack though, since we're both strong swimmers the current shouldn't be a problem that way." You watch him scanning the area until he spots whatever he's looking for. "Come on." He leads you back to the pool you entered the room through. "You want to lead the way, and I'll follow you or the other way around?"

Summoning what remains of her magic she reaches over and touches his shoulder a light spreading around from her hand and descending into him filling him with a comfortable warmth as more of his wounds begin to heal. once he is in better health she is a bit more comfortable with the idea of swimming back thru the current, though she would have to be careful and keep a close eye on him as they traveled. "i'll lead but we need some rope."

Xanadu sets his pack down and pulls out a length of rope. You touch his shoulder and whatever wounds he hand left vanish as the glow of your magic sinks into his skin. He offers you the rope, and sets his pack back on his shoulder. "What do you have in mind?" He stands, and offers you the rope. "I'm ready for whatever you are."

She carefully ties the rope around her waist making sure it is as secure as possible before stowing her staff and anything else she had on her before she starts into the water, glancing back to make sure he is following. "lets get out of here." she says trying to stay positive and hopeful that they manage to make it out of here before there is any trouble and that the water doesn't do to much damage to them.

The water stings, still burning as you dive through it. (1 acid damage) maybe it’s just hopeful thinking, but did it burn less this time than before? Maybe it was just that you dive into the water this time. Xanadu dives in right behind you, and seems to be holding himself back to keep pace with you. Where did this Dwarf learn to swim like this? Is he part fish? The swim back is harder than on the way in because of the current, but between the two of you you manage without too much trouble. Crawling back out of the water you switch back to breathing air, as Xanadu takes deep breaths to recover from the swim.

Staying low to the ground as she gives her tired body a chance to adjust to the air again, its still an uncomfortable feeling as her gills tuck away and she takes the first few breaths of air, staying close to xanadu to make sure he is ok as she looks around and listens for anything out of the ordinary. sending up a silent prayer to her god that the solution helps her people.

Xanadu climbs out of the water barely breathing heavy. As soon a he is on land he stands and scans the area for threats. This Dwarf is steadfast, and has some endurance that's for sure. The pair of you scan the area and find it looking just like it did before. The metal bull like creature still laying where it died. Broken statues, and pillars in the next room. Those other men found their way into this room before, so whomever is sending them might send some more.

"lets get going" she says as she unties the rope from around her waist and starts to coil it up as she begins to move back towards where she thinks the entrance to the cave is. though its a bit hard to tell because they came down the pillars to get where they are.

The Dwarf marches off into the darkness, and you recast your light spell so you can see. Following behind Xanadu is no trouble, he doesn't really seem to be interested in stealth at the moment. The pillars are tall and fairly smooth, and the jump from the top of the pillars to the rope is not small either. Then you have to climb up the full length of a rope and leap from the rope to the ledge above. All without dropping to your death. What is your plan?

she pauses to look up at the pillars and how its a long way up and knowing they both are already tired." so.... any idea how to get out of this room?" she asks half out loud, half to herself as she stares upwards greatfull for the ball of light illuminating things now that they don't have to worry about the bull creature anymore.

Xanadu looks up where you're looking and shrugs, "The only way out is up. We're going to have to climb the pillars first." He moves under the hole, counting paces. "It's too far from the closest pillar to the rope. So next we will have to figure out a way to extend the rope that's hanging down there." He pauses for a moment to think, then turns to you, "How good are you with a lasso?"

"ummm I don't know." she says not very familiar with a lasso or the process of using one. She reaches for the extra rope on her hip intending to offer it to him as she wasn't sure exactly what he wanted her to do with it.

He takes the rope and ties off a simple sliding knot with a fair size loop. "We get you to climb up there." Xanadu points at the second closest pillar, it's angled a bit so that it ends up closer to the middle of the room, but not as high as the next closest one. "You throw this so the loop goes around that rope up there. When you jerk back the line goes tight." He gently tugs on the line and the loop gets smaller. "Then we have our first chance to get you onto the rope. This knot won't support me, so it will have to be you that climbs onto the rope itself." He pats the knot that the rope slides through, "Once there you can properly tie off the rope and I can climb that to get out of here."

"oh ok." she says replaying his plan in her head for a bit to make sure she understands it completely before she holds her hand out for the rope so she can secure it around her waist and begin the climb knowing they didnt want to waste to much more time down here incase the other guys showed back again.

I will need a DC 15 athletics check to get to the top of the pillar, you can reduce the DC to 5 if you attach a grappling hook and climb that rope.
Once on the pillar you will need to make a DC 10 dex check or acrobatics check to attach the rope. This is repeatable unless you roll a natural 1. So just keep rolling until you succeed or nat 1.
Then you can make a DC 10 str athletics or DC 10 acrobatics check to get to the rope, failure will mean falling.
Lastly one more DC 10 athletics check to climb up to where the other rope is to secure the knot for Xanadu. Then one final DC 10 check to actually climb the rest of the way out up the rope.

Once the rope is secured around her waist she reaches for the grappling hook and ties that off, spinning it a few times to get the momentum needed before letting it go and watching as it finds purchase in the exact spot (17). Giving it a few good tugs before begining her climb up (11), once she reaches the hook and climbs up into the ledge she takes a second to catch her breath and steady herself before moving onto the next step of the plan (13) making sure it's secure onto the next section before she begins yet another climb(17) once she has made it to the last part of the climb and is tieing everything off. Her body protesting a bit from everything today including the climbing. She begins the final part of the climb praying to her God to give her the strength to finish this. (11)
