If Dornikal can hear Randy he will stop otherwise he will stop when the rope goes slack when Randy hits the water.

A faint, indistinct cry echoes up from hundreds of feet below.

"Does that mean he's in trouble?" Galt asks.

Dornikal shakes his head.

"He said he'd blow a horn if he was in trouble. Aye didn't hear a horn, did ye?"

Dornikal listens for a moment more,

"Let's hold it here an' listen a bit more. Maybe he dropped his horn."

"Nah, he didn't horn me either."

The descent halts, Randy about four feet above the water level. The floating remains are a bit in front of him.

Dornikal chuckles at Galt's comment. Looking over his shoulder at Galt,

"Ye got any family in Estmont?"

((We're going to have to get Dornikal a girlfriend at this rate. :P ))

Randy takes out the uncut sheet and unfolds it, trying to flip it out so it drapes over the remains, figuring it would be easier to do this while still out of the water.

"Had a sister that used to live near there, but she and her new husband moved up north."

---------------------

Randy manages to toss the blanket over the remains, the corners beginning to sink into the water as they take on water and get heavy.

Randy wedges his sword into the spot selected, then unties the harness from around himself while still holding onto the rope. He takes a deep breath ((Yuck!)) and then lowers himself into the water and swims over to the body and starts tucking the sheet up tight around it. He pulls out the strips of cloth and ties them around the body and sheet, securing it firmly in place as he goes. Once he's done, he pulls the body over to the rope ties it tightly onto it so that it can't slip out.

"Must be tough losing that ye had as a kid. Ye got any other family? Aye got meh clan..." he pauses considering that in light of what he learned recently.

Randy splashes into the cold well, and makes his way over to the draped corpse. When he busies his hands trying to truss it up, he's less able to stay afloat, and is bobbing about while trying to tie.

He dunks himself a time or two before realizing he needs another approach, or he'll never get it tied off.

"Spork!"
Randy pushes the corpse up against the wall, takes a deep breath, and dives under to tie the body up from underneath, coming up for a sputtering breath between tying strips. He's praying he doesn't catch something nasty by doing it this way.

While all this is going on, Ulmwin is playing the lute, glad he's not playing around with bloated corpses.

(Anyone here know necromancy? We could animate it then tell it to climb up... :P)

"Where up north did they move? Aye don't imagine they moved just 'cus ye didn't get on with her husband?"

He notices as the rope slackens a bit but still keeps some weight.

Randy ducks under, holding his breath, and manages not to take any into his nose or mouth.

((Another proficient Dex check please!))

-------------

"Nah, moved to a smaller town for his business. If you're going between Grunfort and Torfelna, their town is at the crossroads to Rayfall. He's a blacksmith and farrier, she tends the animals and what not, as I understand it. He seems to treat her well at least."

Dex (proficient): 2D20.HIGH(1)+3 = [13, 16]+3 = 19

This time, working from under the water, it goes much easier. After tie up the body and hooking it to the rope, Randy swims over to the sword and grabs on with one hand, pulls out the horn (shaking out the water first), concentrates on Dornikal and blows.

Dornikal hears a horn, but from Galt's lack of reaction, it sounded only in his own head. Now what did Randy tell him again...?

"Well that's something at least, ye can't choose... Ye hear that? Randy is blowing his horn, pull it up!"

Dornikal starts pulling up rope hand over hand lightning fast.

Ath: Reeling in Randy or a corpse: 1D20+6 = [18]+6 = 24


((-2 If it's just strength, either way that thing is coming up fast.))

With a splash and a shower of foul water as it rises, the body and its cargo are yanked upwards as Randy moves to make sure he's not under the dripping rain of water and worse.

-------

Between Dornikal and Galt, they haul the rope up as quickly as possible, worried for the ranger's safety, only to have a sodden corpse arrive at the top.

((Can I get a CON save from Dornikal please?))

Galt: Athletics: 1D20+7 = [9]+7 = 16

Galt: CON save: 1D20+5 = [17]+5 = 22

"Oh gods no, what happened to Randy?!" Ulmwin calls out in jest, having stationed himself close enough to the well to see what's going on... But averts his eyes before he gets sick from looking at it. Actually, he's gonna move away before the smell reaches him...

Meanwhile at the bottom of the well....

Randy hangs onto to his sword, waiting for the rope to come back, praying that it doesn't take too long.
