[QUOTE="Binks, post: 6681261, member: 6775039"] I pat Lucky on the head and stand up. A walk over to the climb that awaits on me on the right flank of the overrun trail. Just out of habit, I rub my hands together and give them a clap. Even though I know this will mostly be hand-climbing, I put the ice-axe on my belt nonetheless...in case things go wobbly on me. I sit on a rock and tie both crampons to the bottom of my boots. I rise and test my spiked feet on the icy wall. They stick firmly. Good. One deep breath later, I look up at the icy, rock-covered slope and say "...here we go." [sblock]To expedite things, let us just say that Otthor gave me the rope that was secured in the barbarian settlement. I'm sure he would have turned that over to me as well.That will be 2 AG to me.[/sblock] [sblock]Defy Danger (Str) 6, 4 + 0 (+ 1 AG and + 1 DR) = 12[/sblock] The climb is arduous and taxing, but I'm more than up to the task. When I reach the very large, pointed boulder near the top, I pull myself up and sit atop it. I pull the rope out of my pack and fashion a knot sufficient to hold the weight of a grown man. When finished, I loop it around the end of the stone and pull it back to a point where the stone breaks inward, which will serve to anchor it. I then yank the slack tight, securing it in place. I then drop the rope the 60 feet to the landing below. [sblock]Spending that second AG so everyone can safely climb up without any danger. Rawr can climb on his own and Lucky can be tied via the rope, harness-style, and hand-hauled up. How much can a spirit-dog weigh![/sblock] I suspect Otthor and the goblins will be arriving soon if he hasn't arrived already. Obviously I won't be able to see him so I'll wait for him to spot me up top and call to me. When he does, I'll tell him of the Wyvern I saw hunting the peak of the mountain. [/QUOTE]
