**In any case, i still feel we should wait for the others to post a bit, so they don't feel liek NPC's like I did back in the house. Also goign to work, for another 10 hour shift. I will have much more free time on fri/sat****
Tisnip will be rifling through her bag for anything to help--nope--and thinking on all the things she learned to do back with the other clerics of Ilmater. "If it would help Rajiira, I can give you a boost to your natural grace with a spell I know called Enhance Ability. There's a specialized version just for what you're trying to do. I don't want to use it unless we're sure the plan will work though. Not only for our safety but also for our pride if we all end up tumbling down this mountain and have to go back through that Vistani camp."
"Yes, I think the snow leopard could easily climb the ice wall and lower a knotted rope to us. Tie the rope around your waist so if something happens we will be able to keep you from going too far down the mountain!" Alustine says. "It would take too long to go around..."
Rajiira considered what everyone was saying, and decided to go through with it. so long as Tisnip didn't disagree with the plan, since everyone else seemed on board. She would look up the ice-sheet to see how far she had to go before it ended. And would use her rope, and as many other ropes were needed from the others packs, to get them to the other side of it by tying their ends together. Then, tying it around her waist.
She would then consider which boon she would need.... (Legit not sure since acrobatics is about 'not slipping on ice' but athletics is about climbing a sheer/slippery cliff which check I need)
(((I have 3 hours to post from the time of this post)))
(I still like Dex because it'll also mean you won't take damage if you fall 20 feet or less. Tisnip's worried! lol)
Depending on whether the DM gives us some guidance, Tisnip will cast Enhance Ability on Rajiira before she goes, blessing her with either Bull's Strength, giving her advantage on Strength checks, and her carrying capacity doubles; or Cat's Grace (ha), giving her advantage on Dexterity checks and preventing her from taking damage from falling 20 feet or less if she isn't incapacitated.
If DM is letting us fly blind then it's going to be Cat's Grace.
As everyone is preparing for Rajiira to climb up the wall of ice, OTC calmly transforms into a spider, climbs up the wall of ice(no check needed, woop woop spider climb), and transforms back, lowering her rope down the wall. She feels around somewhere to tie the rope.

"Ignorance is bliss, and you look absolutely miserable."
Rajiira let out a silent sigh, as he lips went flat-lipped ( :| ) as OTC did what she did, feeling that she could have done it sooner, instead of letting all this hubbub go on, and for Tisnip to have already wasted a 2nd level spell slot. So Rajiira just stood there in utter disbelief for several long minutes... She was starting to dislike OTC again.
She closed her eyes then, and just kneeled in the snow, waiting to see how this would play out. She was almost invisible against the white background. If it wasn't for the black stripes on her form, she would be a ghost among the snow.
Note her disdain for OTC is purely in character only.
Thrash would look up to OTC while removing his flail from his rope and putting it on his belt. Once his rope was back in his backpack he would offer to go up last and would attempt to help Alustine hold the rope as well as catch anyone that slips and falls.
OTC turns into a Frost Spider and climbs with ease up the slippery wall as the rest of you make plans on how to get up. When she's at the top she makes a few knots in her rope, and ties it off to a rocky outcropping, before letting it drop down to her companions.
**i wont make you all roll checks, you can all just climb the rope.**
From where you are now, you can get a better look at the structure, the front of it is fifty feet high and has six alcoves containing twenty-foot-tall statues. Each statue is carved from a single block of amber and depicts a faceless, hooded figure, its hands pressed together in a gesture of prayer. Between the two innermost statues is a twenty-foot-tall archway, obviously the main entrance to the structure, with a staircase leading down into the mountain.
You can also see a natural fissure has opened in the west corner of the temple’s facade, creating a gap two feet wide, ten feet tall, and fifteen feet deep. You see light coming from a room beyond.
Thrash will draw his sword and shield, his cloak still draped across his back and the hood covering most of his face. His dark gray snoot just billowing steam as he makes his way into the tunnel, taking the lead and hoping to draw any attacks towards himself.
Rajiira would be first up the rope, using her feline agility to get up the rope faster and to make sure she wasn't in the way of anyone else, plus, it helped distract her from her current frustration towards the druid.
Rajiira had no intention of being the first to check out the obvious light. Instead, she placed herself in the middle of the area with all the encircled statues, and turning 360 degree's, she looks around them to see if there is anything more to them.. perhaps an inscription.... or a lever. Perhaps some sort of 'offerings' or even a hidden switch of some sort. Perhaps even a hidden item or chest. Invest: 7
If there was something, she would inspect it, cautiously.
Otherwise, she would then move to help the rest of the group up the rope as they neared the top. Saying Sorry about your wasted spell... and shooting a stern glance at the druid to emphasize her point. She also promised if a situation came up while it was still in effect, she would make use of it at the first opportunity.
When the group started moving, whether it was into the 'cave/stairs' or if they decided to ignore it, and move on elsewhere, she would enter stealth: 22
OTC sticks out her tongue at Rajiira. She then follows, clickety snurfing.

**here's what ill say, if nothing comes up in the next hour, that requires extra agility from Rajiira, then the spell never happened. But if something does come up, she can retcon that the spell was cast, and use it. Aren't I super nice?**
OTC - you stop and listen for a moment, waiting for the wind to die down a bit. You can tell from the echos that you're up against a very large wall, built into the side of the mountains, and you can also hear some faint movement and heartbeats from that western side of the building.
*hmm.. maybe I can try to climb until i get to a safer spot, and then throw them rope after I fasten it? or is the icewall too 'long' for that?*

Sounds good to Thrash, he will try to stand under you to catch you if you fall.

Thrash will position himself below Rajiira incase she falls
Alustine will help to hold the rope, ready to lend a verbal encouragement if needed!

Tyriok will look at the structure trying to remember if he has read about this anywhere in a book. History: 9
((Also, remind me, what does inspiration do again?))
EDIT: ((Tyriok will be at the back of the conga line going in to the building. Perception: 15 if needed))

Thrash will continue to push forward into the building, keeping an eye out for any enemies.
