Re: Black, Red, and White (D'aden, Olven and Roisin)
D'aden started pulling the lever back and forth again and Olven timed his jump to when the red orb was close to the entrance. When he came close, the body near it moved.
It wasn't dead as he had supposed. Well, she wasn't dead.
When he jumped in across the chasm, the spectral figures descended on the two of them.
"You shouldn't have done that," she said. But then helped putting the red orb into Olven's pack, grabbed his arm, and pushed off from the wall with her legs with as much power as she could.
Towards the arch.
And the duo landed on the platform. Hard. Very Hard. Despite all the pain, Olven was somehow still alive and as well as could be expected after a fall like that. The elven female landed badly on her left leg and Olven could see broken bone penetrating her clothing.
Having crashlanded, the spectral creatures avoided them and the platform, continuing down, down, down.
[Olven is at -18 out of 16hp. But he succeeded at both HT rolls, so he is still alive and awake.]
[OOC: With the Dungeon Fantasy RPG pdfs in my possession and seeing the streamlined version of GURPS used there, I've been thinking I should introduce some of those into this game. Now seemed like a good time to do that with falling damage. Standard rules would give Olven 20d6 of damage from this fall. The streamlined rules only 9d6+1. But still fairly suicidal, which likely is why she hasn't tried it earlier.]
