At the narrowest point that you think you can probably jump it with a run up. At the widest you're certain you can't jump it at all.

1) How wide is it at the bridge?

2) Do the goblins on the far side look like they have fighting spears or throwing spears?

3) If it comes to it, and they knocked out the bridge, do we think we could transform our sword into a spiked whip with a locked handle, whip it around the remaining bridge supports on the far side, and use it to swing across and clamber up?

[X] Charge the goblins, bellowing the lyrics to Indestructible. "I'm indestructible! Determination that is incorruptible! Form the other side, a terror to behold! Annihilation will be unavoidable! ..."
-[X] Cut them down where you can, and try to push them back towards the bridge through the force of your assault. Knock them into the chasm where you can and it is convenient.
--[X] If no goblin lives on this side of the bridge, or an upset occcurs, re-evaluate.

I figure we can either blast them with magic and/or morph our sword into a sling to drive them back, then do what I described above to get across.



Hey, I just realised something: if Morlia somehow subjugated this lot, they'd be Morlia Goblins! :p

1) It's a one goblin at a time bridge

2) They look like fighting spears

3) Provided sufficient Indiana Jones references are made it seems like a potentially viable option

    • You back into the tunnel, sword raised and ready for the inevitable goblin charge at you. The five goblins clutching the remains of their nets drop the trailing lengths of rope and leg it madly for the rope bridge.

    Huh... you didn't expect that. Well it wasn't like they were armed. The spear wielding goblins will be along in a minute you're sure.

    The goblins hurry one at a time across the bridge, almost climbing over one another in their hurry to get away. They cross and you wait expectantly for the charge.

    It never comes. The pair of goblins by the posts the rope bridge is tied to cut the ropes and the bridge plunges into the chasm.

    Oh.... You weren't expecting them to do that. The net wielding goblins and the two bridge cutters retreat leaving the spear goblins to watch and make hissing cackling laughs at your expense.

    I do not recommend following this course of action.
     
    hrm... any rope on our side? since I'm thinking tie rope to our weapon, throw it hard enough to embed it in the stone above or across from us, and then swing over.
     
    What a shame we didn't have any wise and fiendishly handsome strangers to advise us on courses of action that did not completely cede the initiative to our enemies. :V

    [X] Turn your sword into a sharpened crystal hang-glider, stretching it out as far as you can to get as much lift as possible.
    -[X] Charge straight for the cut bridge, belting the lyrics to Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, timing it so that the line "shooting through the sky like a tiger defying the laws of gravity" coincides with your leap across the chasm.
    --[X] Bring the sharpened hang-glider's edge down on the goblins as you land, if possible, before turning it back into a sword and getting stuck in, never once faltering in our song.

    That's Alteration. more specifically, the levitation effect.

    Messed up what I meant, more along the lines of teleporting across, but I wrote it out poorly.

    Forgot the school, so I just thought to sludge them together. That shrine had enough juice that alchemy (the potion offering) let you cover like half of Morrowind if you wanted.

    Edit: Vote idea:

    [x]Use rope from the bridge (or our supplies if we have enough), combined with sword-shifting to make a grapnel of some description. Throw until successful either at catching goblins or latching onto a good grip.
    -[X] Proceed to Indiana Jones across, (because he had better music),
    --[x]Do not Tarzan or George of the Jungle

    Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

    • You take a moment to introduce your crystal palm to the plate of your helm that more or less corresponds to your forehead. You didn't expect that but damn if it doesn't feel obvious that this was the goblin's plan all along now. At least no one was around to see that.

    Time to do something suitably incredible and heroic to salve your slightly bruised ego.

    You start with a couple of steps back. You're going to need a good run up for this. The goblins stop cackling, you bet they think you're running away. They'll learn. You don't run away!

    If you had lips you'd smirk, in a most action hero fashion, as it is you just start running. Crystal boots hammer against rock faster and faster. The goblins aren't laughing anymore. They're brandishing their spears and shuffling in place, readying themselves for your inevitable attack.

    You reach the edge of the chasm and jump, powering yourself up and forwards with all of your might. Your sword morphs mid flight to a compact, bulky little dagger, something like could punch through anything. Just in case.

    Weightless you fly over the deep gap separating one side of the room from the other. Your like a bird, a plane, a-

    BWONG!

    The edge of the chasm meets your helm hard. Disoriented you flail wildly, desperate to find purchase on anything to stop yourself tumbling into the darkness of the chasm.

    Your dagger hits rock and bites in, screaming as your momentum drags it down through solid rock. Suddenly you halt, dangling by one arm several feet down, dagger must have hit something harder than the rest of the rock face. Metal maybe?

    Well, time to start climbing. You work your fingers into the crack you've carved into the rock face with your dagger and find protruding edges to brace your feet on. You wrench the dagger out, raise your arm as high over your head as possible and slam the dagger back into the rock.

    You test the brand new hand hold with a few quick tugs. It seems to be stable enough. You edge your other hand up the crack, finding purchase easily enough, and start swarming up the chasm wall like a monkey up a tree.

    With a purely theatrical groan of effort you haul yourself over the edge and clamber to your feet.

    The goblins don't hesitate the charge you like a particularly spiny wall. Their aim is not the most impressive. All but one miss you with their spears and the one that is on target you parry with a clumsy flick of your wrist, sending the pointy spear head over your shoulder rather then into it.

    What is a 'spear'? Why are those goblins holding long pointy things?
    Spears miiiiight be from Morrowind and we all know how weird things are over there! These goblins must be immigrants!

    "My turn."

    [ ] Flurry! Flurries for everyone!

    [ ] Spin to Win forever!

    [ ] Basic attack for you and a basic attack for you and a basic attack for you!

    [ ] Write in something

    So many good options I wish I could write them all :(
