I came up with a viable approach to rescue a person from a dangerous source of electricity. Take it or leave it.

Uh oh, Alice is making up scenarios again. The throne is only big enough for the gem.
Let's roll:
First, how good or bad the consequences are for Alice making up scripted scenarios while not being DM: [1d20=1] okay that's very very bad. Now we will roll the magatude of the issue Alice has added to this scenario [1d20=17] pretty devastating

>magatude

You can thank Alice for her contribution to your fate. Anything Alice plans will go the opposite way and have horrendous consequences.

Yes, yes it was like this from the beginning. Think of something new!

[Ashley] thanks Alice, also, why would I electrocute myself?  That's not what heroes do.

Yes that's exactly what heroes do! Electrocute themselves.
We have no chance against that real drow ear haver who's likely more powerful than Mormesk and the green eyeball thing together. Only the Mecha Goddess can beat him. And she only takes over when you're dead. So you have to die. Don't blame me, I didn't make those rules. And I ain't no hero either. That's a hero's job. But I can tie you a noose of you prefer a more traditional approach.

The lightning pops and clicks as you get closer, Alice's plan is doomed to fail in a spectacular way.



"Isn't this supposed to be a trap and the first thing you do is run for the cheese? I say we carefully explore the rest of the chamber before the ceiling falls on us and we're electrocuted."



"Cat? Yulya? What are we really doing?"

Alice gives Ashley a sour look, not even waiting for her answer.
Of course not. They're useless, and now even dangerous. Can you at least have them guard us - without paralyzing or setting us on fire if possible - while we retrieve that girl?

Alice looks around in surprise, bewildered that no further enemies are in sight
So this is it? Throne room, deepest part of the mountain? Where we were supposed to go? I bet none of those dwarves was ever even close to here. Who the hell was supposed to operate that thing? Surely no dwarf. Some Demigod perhaps or- wait, I've heard about something like that! Humans on Terra experimented with the Negative Plane and it went terribly wrong.  The rift will never close again. What idiots....

Alice snaps out of her musings with another disdainful look to the cats - from a safe distance.
Cat, I doubt this device has an Emergency Stop button to just shut it off. You gotta drag that girl out of the danger zone but be careful! I can't get close to the discharges or it'll be curtains for me!

Alice takes her 10ft pole and ties Cat's rope to one end, forming a loop that tightens when pulled - a lasso on a long stick.
Place the loop over her foot and then drag her back! Her foot not the neck, you hear? Or we'll need Yulya's resurrection magic!



Alice assists Cat but keeps a safe distance from the Throne's discharges - and Ashley's lynxes.

>Greater Healing Potion
>Cat gains 16 HP
That's all?
At a cost of 100gp that's, uh, about 6 gp per HP.
Are the injuries reducing her movement healed at least?

That was to be expected. Which basically only leaves Cat. Doesn't Alice at least have a 10 ft pole? Or maybe we could play cowboy and catch her with a rope  lasso and drag her out.
