The wind howls in an uncanny monotone through the vast crevice. The climbers brace themselves, at times with their backs to the wall and limbs splayed out like top-heavy insects, at others squeezing through sections that practically deny the physical space necessary for Pa'avu to writhe and squirm her mighty form through, as she takes the lead. Brows bead with perspiration at the effort, and the endocrine response triggered by the fear that one minor slip could trigger a fall into so narrow a section that an agonizingly slow death would be the inevitable outcome.At one point, the panic is almost too much for Bita-Bousseh, and she refuses to go on, repeating in a vulnerable, high-pitched tone so different from her usual sultry affect, "I can't do this! I can't do this." Until Hazard, that is, navigating the slightest jugs in a manner than would make a mountain goat proud, nuzzles his head against her shoulder, and she regains her composure.[HR][/HR]We're using an Advantage to refresh Pa'avu's training in Endurance for a Group Primary Skill Endurance check vs 15 Moderate DC.Pa'avu, r(12) +9 = 21. Success.Hazard, r(19) +4 = 23. Success.Chanvati, r(19) +6 = 25. Success.Bita-Bousseh, r(10) +3 = 13. Fail. [Why can't we roll like this in combat?!?]3/4 Successes in Group Check = Success.</blockquote>
