While Jeri was able to maintain his resolve as they began to walk he was a bit worried about the recent events. The promise of a hunter to send them into a portal was trusted and now that hunter who was supposed to guide them is a no show. 

There was no sense crying now. He shook off those feelings and tried his best to stay quite. Not knowing too much survivability it was his thought that breathing through his nose was the best for this cold thin air.

Although Jeri was in front to scout he heeded the boss and made sure to stick close. He was no more then two arms length from other party members at any given time.

The path ahead seemed to be getting steeper but so far as he could tell they were alone. Aside from mother nature who was seemingly delivering a chastening to the new adventurers.

After ten minutes he was able to catch the silhouettes of the team but couldn't figure out if one was missing or he just couldn't see them all. He was starting to feel the cold of the elevation and had already given up using the blanket as it had gotten soaked with the bit of rain up here and the strong wind was not making it any easier on him. He hurried to both keep warm and to catch up. See in Keladan handing him a dope end he took it and wrapped himself, he hated absolutely hated these heights. "Thank you Keladan" He yells out. 

Looking head and taking count he yells to the team "WHY ARE WE MISSING ONE? DID SOMETHING HAPPEN? AND DOES SOMEONE HAVE AN EXTRA WINTER COAT?" 

The winds were strong and they would only get stronger the higher up they go.

"Aye Fey, that's what some do. Its not a terrible idea. Unless something goes wrong." 

"And no, I have no idea how long it's gonna take to get to the top."

"And here comes mister Kro now. "
Margaret
*Fey eyes Rawn,* "Things could go wrong either way... Maybe put the stronger people at each end of the line, that way it's doubly-protective? Then again, besides you, who'd be strong enough to be an anchor?? Hmmm..."
*She looks back and spots Kro* "Oh yeah? Wonder what happened?"
Robert
"Master Rawntha we should keep moving higher up above these clouds, at least the rain will not keep up from freezing. I would guess we may be 3 to 4 hours away from the peak."

"Very nice, the scouts are smart to tie up. We should all do it just in case of a slip, it wont be easy to stop ourselves here or higher up where there is only rock and snow."
Regina
"Aye, Jeriscal, you take the lead. I'll tie off to you. If anything happens we're the most likely to anchor. The rest can tie off after that."

Looking to Fey "Well, things have already gone sideways. But, we'll make the most of it."

Louder now, for everyone, "Lets get going. Sooner we reach the top, the sooner we can get off this rock."

The man listened and and gave his head a nod in affirmation. Grabbing the rope he swiftly tied it around himself using knot techniques he picked up from the Miller Dale farm. He had a moment in his head where he considered the passing of Edus and dismissal from the family by jeliel that happened just days ago but he quickly dismissed that. 

"That's been taking care of" He muttered talking to himself about his thoughts as he shook his head as if that helped tossed the thoughts out of his brain. 

He tossed the rope over to the next in line and as he waited about he visited kro.
Margaret
*Fey* **Wants** *To then tie in behind Rawn, but ...*

*Fey sighs and nods, and calls up* "Ok then, if that guy's in front, I shoud take up the rear, keep an eye behind us. Pretty-boy can then be between us all. How's that?"

Looking the elf up and down Jeri had many questions like why he was late and how he managed to catch up. But those weren't important now for the task at hand. Neither was reacting to being called 'that guy' however that did stick to a point of warranting Jeri's belief that he needs to better build rapport with the young musician. 

He reached out to place a hand on kro and if he was able to he would cast a light spell to dry his clothes and skin since it doesn't seem there is a spare coat for him.

"Don't go freezing before my butchery apprenticeship is completed." His muffled words were followed by a smile but that was hidden behind his mask yet evident by his eyes. "If you could avoid shooting arrows at me while I'm in front that would be great too" He laughed a good laugh. The best one could have in the freezing windy mountains... With no guide...
