Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 112782" data-attributes="member: 114">They make their way back through the town and to the base of steeple mountain. It is imposing and cold, with a 300 ft scree slope, followed by a near vertical cliff. The plan is that everyone will scramble up the scree slope (once Trajan has blazed a trail), then M’ir will manifest his power to enable everyone to spiderclimb up the sheer wall.Trajan makes it up the first section without too much difficulty, but to get the attention of the others he ends up shouting out to them and waving his arms up and down. Eventually they get the message and Awk is sent up to communicate with him (but not before the denizens above are thoroughly alerted…). While the rest start on their way up a shower of rocks comes from above, striking Trajan although he maintains his footing.Darra gets out his precious scroll of “Fly”, and casts it, using Awk as the touchee to impart the spell to Trajan (since he has the greatest carrying capacity of any of them). The others then make their way up the slope, albeit with a few tumbles from Azrin. Trajan uses his new flying ability to help Azrin and the others up the scree slope, then he zooms up to the top of the mountain to peer into the cave entrance. No sooner does he reach the same altitude as the entrance when two large arrows shoot from the darkness, piercing him badly. He falls from the sky and pulls out of his dive where the rest of the party are at the top of the scree slope. Azrin quickly calls upon Asura to heal him, giving up many of his prayed-for spells in order to help Trajan recover from the vicious wounds.Once M’ir has manifested his power and they start scampering up the mountain face a barrage of rocks starts in earnest – there is small chance that the rocks will hit, but the icy surface of the mountain is hard for the spiderclimb to adhere to.They are halfway up the vertical section, an additional 200ft up, when one of the defenders strikes luck – a hurled rock bounces into Syl! – fingers scrabbling for purchase, the young female rogue from Morannon loses her grip on the surface – and tumbles into space!</blockquote>
