Ch.1 Rescue Plan

[Philulhu]

Ok. Can whoever is hammering the pitons into the ice give me a Climbing roll?

Lost_King: Any comments about the suitably of this approach from your real-life climbing experience?

[Snapper]

OOC:   I believe the odds are still marginally in Randy's favour...

Coughing terribly and shivering uncontrollably, Randy nonetheless steps in with the piton. "I did quite a lot of climbing in the Scouts. [COUGH!!]"

Actual result is I think a 100.

Believe that's a fumble as a result of the penalty die. Can Randy spend 5 Luck to make it not a fumble, just a solid fail?

[Joajackson]

As group leader she should probably have been the one to go first, but she wasnt confident in her climbing so she didnt. Considering the state of Randy, Amanda was really prepared to start really hating this decision.

[Philulhu]

That’s probably wise…

Anyone else like to have a go?

[Snapper]

Luck spent!

[Mr. Handy]

I only have 25% Climb. Some people have a better chance than I do.

[BoyBlunder78]

OOC:   Why not? Lucks gotta change sometime....

Not today though, that'll be a fail....94

[Philulhu]

So far, no one had managed to hammer pitons into the ice to sufficiently inspire confidence…

Benjamin doesn't have any better success.

Testing the rope, it was alarming to see the pitons spring out of the ice with barely an ounce of pressure applied. It seemed that this wasn’t going to be their way down.

Can I have another Navigate and CON roll from everyone, please?

"There has to be a better way," says Benjamin.

Not everyone has tried yet.

Happy to wait if anyone else wants to try.

I’m not as familiar with mountain climbing as climbing wall climbing, so everything I say should be taken with a grain of salt. I know that it’s way more dangerous than climbing on a dedicated climbing wall. However, I’m sure a solidly lodged piton would hold a person’s weight. Given the circumstances, this is the safest strategy I can think of for getting inexperienced climbers down the wall of ice, which has very few holds. The only concern I can think of is how well we can put the piton in the ice.

Boyd:
Climb: 25%

[kabukiman]

Boyd wasn't very sure, but he saw once in a tv show, how to do safe climbing. Carefuly, he tried to repeat what he remembered, and amazingly, it worked!

"Guys, I think I did it".

[Lost_King]

Harold has never done a bit of climbing in his life, but he looks over and smiles, happy to see that his plan might work out after all.

“Great! Now all we need to do is set up the rope, and we can start down. Who is going first?”

[BoyBlunder78]

Navigate & Con.....here we go..

Spending 2 luck to make tye Navigate a succes. So two successes!!!!

[Philulhu]

Amazingly, given that Boyd had learned the how to place the pitons and tie the ropes by watching a TV show, it held fast when pressure was applied to it. Even two people pulling at once didn’t move it, so the rope was pronounced safe to use.

There was a moment’s (self) congratulation before discussion turned to who was to go down first. But before they could decide, an eerie scream could be heard in the distance…

Assuming that you’re climbing down, can I have a climb roll from everyone?

There’s no need to spend the luck for your navigate roll just yet. Originally, the plan was to continue along the ledge but with the successful climb roll, I’m going to retcon that bit, and you can now get down to the level of the river.

Benjamin doesn't go first, but when his turn comes he makes his way carefully down.
