OK! So this is what rope trick does, you cast it on a rope of up to 60 feet long The rope extends into the air until vertical and creates a portal to an extra-dimensional sanctuary which you and 7 of your closest medium or smaller friends can climb into and hang out in for up to an hour.
If the rope is pulled into the extra-dimensional space the portal becomes invisible to the outside world. Spells and attacks cannot cross through the portal, but it's a great way to Hide, cast longer spells, rest if your DM thinks 6 seconds short of an hour is enough for a short rest, heal up in the middle of a really rough fight, split move to fire arrows at enemies
