I am human artificer with Human ranger, two barbarian goliaths and a wizard.

Be in cages in cave. Orc guarding us is rude, walks away. Break out of cages via strength checks by the two barbarians. I offered to melt the bars with create bonfire. Everyone jokes it would have been a bad idea

Walk to mouth of cave, encounter polite orcs, one barbarian spars orc. Orcs then say goodbye and magically transport away

Exit cave. See that we are on a floating island, can't see anything below us.

RP for a bit. I then come up with a plan. I ask DM about the type of clouds and such that we see.

I come up with the number of 5000-6000ft up. Wizard and I have featherfall but if we use all our spellslots we can only glide 2400ft

Wizard mentions there might be an ocean under us in RP. Ranger says an empty void.

Me looks up symptoms of altitude sickness in background to get an idea of height above sea level.

click goes my brain.My chaotic neutral artificer has a job on his hands. Here is my plan:

Make boats/rafts by cutting trees with our weapons and rope. I havee tinkers tools, better than nothing.

Two barbarians can at least carry a boat each, ranger too.

We hunt all but one member of a species of animal on the island. ie dogs/goats

Level up ranger to 5 by sparing each other and hunting so he learns locate plant or animal

Throw goat off island. Ranger will cast locate plant or animal and one of two things happens

1.Goat hits something before falling five miles ocean, land etc. We jump and feather fall

2.Goat falls forever. If it goes out of range of locate plant or animal then the spell might point to the next nearest goat, possibly on another floating island

If 1. happens we jump and skydive. When we see land we would cast feather and glide to land/ocean. If ocean we use boats

Unfortunately. DM says something about arcana checks by Wizard and one of the barbarians and how we are in the air plane. That we would fall forever partially defeating the plan.

We do RP and session ends. Me slightly disappointed
