Smiling Jack full of optimism Slaps Barn on the back and with a huge grin says, "I know you will be able to kick ass and take names and I feel 100% safe with you. And that idea to allow me to lean over as you steady me should be a big help to lasso the cup"
Looking up with a huge smile on his face, then at Reg as he does his mumbling. Jack says, "I guess we wait for Reg to give us the all clear to go."
Jack looks though his pack for rope and looks at Barn's rope and (assuming they are different) picks the one that just "feels" the best."
A phantom force forms around the folded leaves the man has made, floating in the air as if caught in an unfelt breeze.
”Well, that’s it. You want to try gabbing the chalice from the Gallery walk first? If you knock it off the alter, I can have the wind walker go get it. Or I can see about sending it first, but the floor might still give way.”
Barn has never heard of anything like Reg's 'walker' before, and obviously has never seen anything like it since he can't see it right now. Still...
"I am thinking if y-your magical friend who... who is not a r-real person, right? If they c-can get the chalice, then that should be Plan A. If they can't th-then Plan B, I can hold Smiling Jack with the r-rope while he tries to lasoo it, or if that d-doesn't work, then Plan C, lower him d-down."
Listening to everyone, Smiling Jacks gets up, looks at Barn, and says, "I guess the two of us are going up and see if we can lasso a cup?"
Grabbing the rope, Jack starts walking up the minstrels Gallery.
Upon reaching a good location that seems solid and has a good line to the chalice. Jack grabs one rope and ties a good knot around himself, Jack checks the knot and then ties a few over hand knots in the rope to assist Barn with holding the rope and preventing any inadvertent slips. Jacks looks at Barn and flatly states, "you good?"
Barn looks confused, having assumed Reg'sunseen friend would try to grab the chalice first, but then gamely wraps one end of the rope securely around his muscled forearm and braces himself on the gallery to helpSmiling Jack lean over and try to use his lasso.
"I'm g-good," the big man stutters in response, perhaps inauspiciously.
Reg waited for some of the others to weigh in on which course of action to take. But with no one speaking up, he watched from the side line as Smiling Jack climbs up the gallery walk. With the big man tagging along for support, “Be careful now” he said encouragingly. The origami leaves flitted here and there slowly, rising and falling with every breath of the invisible wind walker.

Ardwynn frowned at the rock before flipping it to Reg, "Be my guest. It's just a purple rock for me."

Reg continues his strange mumbling for ten minutes.....
Smiling Jack squats and ties some knots, then unties them, practices a lasso...tick... tock...just waiting until....Reg is completed...tick...tock...
Reg finishes.

Smiling Jack stops fidgeting as he is silent to listen to the others .

Jack keeps nibbling his biscuit but also keeps aware of the surroundings. This would be a perfect time for an ambush.

As Smiling Jack & Barn make the walk, there is time for Reg's unseen friend to see what he can grab long before we get into position.
