Beryl

"Sounds good." Beryl will tie the rope around his waist and try to cross using the bridge to keep the path.

Not sure what rolls I should attempt.

Lharzin prepares the same - wearing only her travel wool dress and removing her leathers and other garments, bundling it all in her pack to carry above her head.

Ingram looks to see if there's a convenient place nearby to tie off the rope.

Might as well see if I can tie off the rope on our current side. That way, once we tie it off on the other side, everyone but the first and last person will have stability. Ingram will also be able to use it when he crosses carrying his armor and gear. Then he can go back and untie it so we can take it with us. Will be a bit risky to cross three times but he'll have the rope as a handrail for the first two crossings.

Arngeir

Yes, my plan was to have Arngeir go over first to secure the rope, with the assumption that being taller would make the crossing easier. I also thought he'd do well because of his good dex, forgetting about agility

He will cast Unsarl's Hug before he crosses:

Percentage: [1d100]=55, a CS, spell lasts 1 hr


[1d100]=38;[1d100]=42;[1d100]=85;[1d100]=3;[1d100]=62

Lharzin waits, then crosses in the middle of the group. "Sorry... i didn't think to bring anything as practical as rope."

After looking around a bit Ingram notices there is a heavy bronze ring of about 6 inches in diameter, anchored into a rock. About 10 feet from the rivers edge and about 4 feet above the current rivers level. It is sort of out of sight unless you are within a couple of feet of it. It seems to be still secure pulling on it. The Khuzdul will confirm it appears to be Khuzun make.

Ingram secures his end of the rope to the bronze ring. He waits to see if there's something on the other side to secure the rope to.

Murgar

When the time comes he will say a quick prayer and try to cross using the rope.

Beryl

Here are Beryl rolls as he tries to cross the river.

The river crossing.

Arngeir makes it across without any issues. Once across he locates a matching ring to the first and ties off the rope nice and secure. Signaling back the others begin working their ways across.

Lharzin, Murgar, Beryl, and Algrim all cross using the rope without any issues.

Ingram crosses using the rope to get his gear across without issue. (Just made it with the rope bonus he needs an 83, without a 73).

Going back using the rope Ingram slips once and then catches himself, making it the rest of the way after a short pause to catch his breath. (87 MF, 9 MS, and 78 MS used up. The rope bonus was critical here too).

Ingram unties the rope and ties it around himself. He then works his way across without any issues.

Everyone is across and wet. The khuzdul are wetter than the others.

Perhaps an hour left of daylight at this point.

Actions?

Ingram says, I think we have to gather some wood and build a fire now.

Assuming there are no objections, Ingram starts the search for wood. He puts his armor back on first though.

Beryl

"I agree 100%, exactly what I was going to suggest otherwise it will be a cold night."

Algrim agrees "Aye! An I'll help gather up firewood." he will help gather up firewood & search for any stones they might be able o find to set around the pit for the fire to help conceal the flames.

While collecting firewood, Ingram looks around for a suitable campsite, preferably one where they're protected from the wind.

We might all want to collect only fallen branches, in case this turns out to be a nobleman's property and he's protective of his trees.

Murgar

Yes fire would be good. Might as well just camp here for the night.

Arngeir

The ivinian returns his weapons to his belt, but decides not to don his armour until he has dried off a bit. He grabs his shield and helps to look for firewood.

"Let me come along and see if there's anything nearby to help with dinner..." offers Lharzin. She also leaves armor at the camp for the moment.
