"Poison," says Lakeover. He opens his mouth to speak, but holds back. The last time he made this sort of decision, he was wrong, and people got hurt.
He bites his lip, and then says. "I have spells that can help against poison. They should be effective, but to get them would require us to wait several hours here. I've asked that of you before, and I was wrong then -- walking on water did not help us with the wyrm's lesser kin. But still, I can be more effective, for us now, if we wait that time. Otherwise, if someone has an idea for reaching the top, I would welcome suggestions."
