<strong>Leander</strong><br/><br/>The woman narrowed her eyes indignantly and lifted her chin as she replied, "<strong>Of course</strong>I'm not giving up! I just don't want to see you fall and break your neck for such a thing." Although her tone was hardly matching the caring sentiment of her words.<br/><br/>Taking another look at the nearby trees... He could climb some of them, sure. The tallest of them reached up even further than the ruins themselves... but at the edge of the cliffs there was were naught but narrow branches and leaves, barely capable of supporting a serpent's weight, much less a whole man's. The vines were an option... he could transfer from a tree to one and then pull himself up, but they looked kind of... flimsy.<br/><br/>She looked up again, shaking her head as she searched for something for him to climb. With a sigh, she looked down, then turned around... away from the cliffs. "We'll have to go the other way."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">50 feet is 5 consecutive climb checks. Climb DC is 15 (+5 for slipperyness) for the first thirty feet and DC 20 +5 for the next twenty feet for being so narrow. The vines start at about 30 feet. It's about a 5 feet jump from a good tree to another vine, DC 10 without being able to take a running start... Climbing up a vine from a dead hang is DC 15 +5 as if it was an unknotted rope. From the vine or the tree, you could jump to the cliff, 15 feet away (DC 30)... although you could swing back and forth on the vine to build some momentum and shorten the distance.   ???<br/><br/>Oh, and climbing the cliff face itself from the lake is a DC 25 +5... Theoretically, since the water will break your fall more often than not, you could just climb up the cliffs repeatedly until you make 5 consecutive checks against the DC 30. But eventually that'll force fortitude saves vs. fatigue and.. yeah.<br/><br/>So... Umm. You could <em>try.</em>  ::) But I wasn't kidding when I said it looked difficult to get back up.  ;) When Liah said 'We have to go back', she wasn't ordering him around or anything, just panicking. :P</div></div>
