Most of these supplies would be carried by Crock Jon, acting as porter. Shedrick would carry much of the rest, as his role had evolved into Precious little coin remained in the Consortium's discretionary fund. It was now imperative that they found some sort of success on this mission. It was time to seize the day.The agents set out early and began an arduous trek upward and northward, along an old road that was so badly maintained that they wandered off of it several times and had to find their way back. The journey was expected to take three days, but as they set up camp for their second evening, they had made less progress than they would have liked.To make matters worse, on the third day it began to snow - a wet snow that covered the road (much of which was well overgrown) in a thin, slippery layer of slush. These conditions had not improved when they got to a place where the road had washed out (ten years ago or more). There was no way around. A high wall of brush-covered stone on the left, and a sixty-foot drop to a rockfall on the right. Only a narrow, crumbling strip remained of the road for a span of about fifty feet. Crossing it would be dangerous, but necessary.[ooc]Please describe any precautions you'd like to take,or  ingenious methods you come up with for getting across. Please throw in at least one, but no more than two ability checks of your choice (based on the stuff you chose to do). If you can't think of anything, just give me dex (acrobatics) to work your way across.[/ooc]</blockquote>
