{{I'm going to veto Grai's action, actually, and say he did not drop 20,000 gp onto the snow before leaving. There was no IC reason for him to hand over his life savings, only an OOC reason (the player was leaving the campaign). On top of that, how exactly could Grai have been carrying 400 pounds of gold this whole time without being encumbered?}}<br/><br/><br/>If the cliff face were totally vertical, it would be tremendously difficult for a quadruped with no opposable digits to climb. This rock face is very steep, but not vertical; a wolf could ascend to the ledge by stepping from the top of one rock to the next. [climb DC for Chrrou and Heshaar is 25; others can use aid another actions to help (DC 10 climb check to give a +2 bonus to another character's climb check) If a wolf holds a rope in their teeth, anyone pulling on the rope can use the aid another action.]<br/><br/>[retries are allowed; failure by less than 5 carries no penalty, but more than 5 deals 1d6 points of falling damage]<br/><br/><br/>Alternatively, a harness could be constructed and Rihyan could simply lift the dire wolves to the ledge. Rihyan is strong enough to do this, but the harness must be well constructed if it is going to bear a half ton of weight. [Use Rope DC=15; +2 circumstance bonus for using silk rope]
