Sit back and relax the plot will help you soon like it always does
Yea, there it goes. The plot doesn’t seem to be helping you with the fact that there’s boiling water under you though, in fact, cutting your rope might have been a bad move on the plot’s end.
What do you do?
Uninventory your inventory into the water to get rid of it.
Put a little faith in the plots judgement.
cast incinerate on the boiling water
the randomizer will turn the spell in something usefull.
Let one of your noble cats dramatically sacrifice itself to save you from certain death.
Use elven agility to avoid watery fate.
give plot a 2nd chance to help again
the waters not hot enouph to kill you its barley boiling, and its not deep enouph to drown you. fall in the pot then tip it over.
Try to land dramatically on the edges of the pot.
