It was a dark and stormy night. Our intrepid band of gamers had gathered to vanquish evil and take its stuff. Feeling unsatisfied with any of our current games we had running, the decision was made to create an entirely new adventuring group. There were some who argued that this would take too long and that no gaming would get done, but those naysayers were quickly shouted down. Gravity did its wicked work and the PCs fell out of the chute. The floor was 40' down. A merciful DM allowed each PC a Dex check to grab the rope as they fell. There was only one success. The noble paladin.
