I'm confused. There is a 30' gap between the circle of a magic elevator and the walkway to a solid surface of rock at the other end, right? Cora's trip singed the ropes, but Adara's landing wouldn't be much more, if at all, than her own body weight stepping onto the floorboards. I'm willing to make an acrobatic's check for that, but I didn't see her dropping like a rock onto the floor boards. So... why is she the one who's done the horrible thing that's going to cause the whole thing to fall apart? I mean, they aren't spoiled for options... either cross the distance or sit there until they all die of thirst or starvation?<br/><br/>Anyway, Laura made it clear, I think, that she was throwing the end of the whip back to the others to help them cross. Swinging on a rope isn't all that challenging and Laura intended to stand there just long enough to make sure that the next person in line got there safe, then she was moving along, carefully. I didn't want to go too far and confuse matters by doing too much.  That was my next post, after someone caught the frigging whip. She would retrieve the whip after everyone's across.
