Arianna's sandals slapped against the rocky flooring one slow step after another, her staff tapping in line with them. Her other hand was up against the cave wall, guiding her along the way, while her eyes stared forward, piercing the gloom as they were capable of seeing in grayscale despite the darkness around her.
She just wished Sarah was with her. Unfortunately, she was taking another way into this cave system and as thus couldn't be with her. While she knew her ally could take care of herself, and likely more than she could, it still worried her.
Distracted with her inner thoughts, she didn't hear her staff go squish against the rock instead of a clunk.
A moment later, one sandal, and then the other, squished as well.
It was when she tried to move further did things seriously become problematic.
Her free hand waved wildly as she pulled up on her right foot, because it refused to move upwards off of the floor. Off balance, she shifted her full weight onto her staff, and her wobbling thankfully stabilized not long after.
"The hell?" she cursed quietly, before chanting the words of magic and creating a dim ball of light onto the top of her staff. Looking down, she gasped in surprise at what she saw.
All around her, the floor was covered in what looked to be swaths of green slime, and she had wandered right into an especially sticky patch, adhering her sandals to the floor in an instant. Making sure of her balance, she tugged hard at her right foot. While her toes flexed upwards, the rest of the foot felt like it was imprisoned within her sandal, as even with all her strength, it didn't move an inch.
Upon trying to shift her staff to her other hand for balance, she found out that it was just as gooped up, but with enough application of force, she was just able to move it off the floor and reposition it. Then she tried moving her left foot...and found it was glued down as badly as her other sandal was, if not even worse.
"Now what?" she muttered, trying to think of a solution.
---
It didn't take too long for her to decide upon a plan of action...because there wasn't much else she could do at this point. With some struggling, she worked her feet out of her sandals, and carefully placed them onto the rocky ground ahead of her, shivering briefly at the coolness of the ground against her bare soles.
She looked back behind her, debating on trying to grab her trapped footwear, but upon realizing that the upper part of her sandals had fallen into the goo too, she knew it was going to take far too long to free them. She'd come back to get them later, after she completed her part of this adventure.
With that, she continued onward, only turning her head back forward after she made a pair of steps.
squish squelch
Ari gasped in shock as she felt her bare feet sink into a deeper pile of ooze, splattering up the sides of her feet as well as between her toes. "OH COME ON!"
She gave her right foot a hard yank, but it only lifted upwards a few inches, the slime stretching under her limited strength, before being yanked back down to the floor with a splat.
Staring down at her mired limbs in shock, she growled in annoyance, cursing her dumb luck. Sarah is going to have SUCH a field day if she finds me like this...

Arianna / Razira seems to always have a terrible Halloween...and this year seems to be no exception. theboundraccoon has drawn Ari in a very sticky situation, after she failed a perception check. In her defense, seeing something like this in a dark cave is quite difficult! Hopefully she can escape, because who knows what other dangers might lie within!

Always love seeing Arianna/Razira's feet trapped in goo, whether sandal clad or completely bare <3
Ah yes, once again Ari proves to be as perceptive as a mole without whiskers :P
This one came out really nice indeed, Conner once again delivering the goods ^_^

It's not her fault that she keeps rolling natural 1s on perception checks!...well, maybe it is. Who knows.
Ari could have easily flown over it, but chose not to. This is my conspiracy theory and I will die on this hill
That's not what she thinks. There was way too much of the stuff as it was!
Seeing Ari stuck barefoot in more goo is always welcome! She may not like it, but we love seeing her stuck!
She definitely does not like it, no! But based on the comments and popularity, people do like seeing it for sure.
E-er...t-this makes me wonder things to myself about her in these situations, mostly because she finds herself often in them.
Nah. She just has some very bad luck occasionally. When those Perception rolls fail...they fail quite badly it seems.
I constantly fail alot of checks in D&D, just glad its not a campaign meant to expose something like this to the...f-forefront. Sometimes I just...miss everything in combat and the armor class doesn't have to be very high, I just roll so terribly alot of the time. S-So I guess in a situation like this I would likely be in her position...probably quite alot. >///. ;
W-While I know she doesn't do it on purpose, it makes me wonder if there's a very very small portion of her that likes this situation despite most of her hating or disliking most of it. Something underlying that doesn't truly hate the situation as she mentioned someone else having a field day if she's discovered like this. Though...t-this could easily be me overthinking all of this.
