"Quite slippery and treacherous, the footing here," Halec calls out to the others. "Should we turn back and find another way around? Or press on here? We're not leaving anyone behind, that's for certain."
Halec grunts, "We press on, then. Perhaps the strongest climber can use this climber's kit to set up wall spikes and a rope to aid the others."
The climber's kit contains hammer, pitons, and a special harness to prevent falling. Although this is not a vertical climb, the same principles could apply to allow someone to cross the slipper terrain and set up spikes, rope and harness for the others.
OOC: Harbek is probably among the better at Athletics, as it's Strength-based, although our Barbarian MC, Nahu, might be up there, also. Athletics is usually used for Climbing, so Harbek has a minimum +4. If the DM uses Acrobatics for Balance, Halec is good, with a 16 Dex and training for a +5, but the scenario sounds more like Athletics than Acrobatics. Halec is Dex based and untrained in Athletics, Strength 10, so he has +0.

(I get what you mean, my characters don't tend to be strong either, so I suck badly in those athletics scenarios X/ )
Ahead, the light Harbek saw leads out of the cave and into the... light. You are at a relatively flat part of the mountain. Cold, soft snow covers the waste with several piles of it everywhere, it reaches all the way up to Halec's knees. To your right, another pale-cobalt slope stretches up higher into the mountain, the boulders and rocks stuck to the mountain support loads of even more snow. The snow may come down lightly, but it is hard to even see past 35 feet ahead.
"Tin...tinfoil... doesn't exactly repel the co...cold," Halec says, "But I appreciate the gesture." He continues to lead the group towards the museum, following their map as best as he can.
The wind blows harsh as your group moves forward, with several pieces of paper and parchment fly by with it. Your group comes across a rickety rope bridge swaying rapidly in the breeze. Below the bridge is a chasm that disappears into the storm. (To cross the bridge, make an acrobatics check.)
Harbek:
From where you stand, you hear the faint sound of a dragon's roar, however, it sounds very distressed.
“Harbek, if the bridge is long enough I can throw a rope and grapple across to you, perhaps you can secure it to something so we have a way to ensure no one falls while crossing the bridge,” Halec calls out to the dwarf.
OOC: Let me know what mechanics are needed, if any, to simply toss the grapple with attached rope to the other side. Halec has 50 ft of rope, if more if needed other party members may have rope we can tie together.

Generic Ranged attack roll: 17
Both the chasm and bridge are 30ft long. A Dexterity check is needed to throw it across, if it succeeds, Harbek will need to make a strength check to pull group members up.
For anyone who rolled a 14 or higher:
Ahead, just past another corridor, you see broad daylight seeping into the cave.
"Quite slippery and treacherous, the footing here," Halec calls out to the others. "Should we turn back and find another way around? Or press on here? We're not leaving anyone behind, that's for certain."
Harbek replies "lets continue this way"
Halec grunts, "We press on, then. Perhaps the strongest climber can use this climber's kit to set up wall spikes and a rope to aid the others."

Harbek has 18 strength...IDK if that applies

"Dreadfully cold..." Halec says through chattering teeth. "I think we are still or... oriented... towards the museum."
I stuff my tin foil hat on Halecs head, hoping that my master has granted it magical properties even though the chance is close to 0.

Harbek follows grumbling about the cold
Nahu follows, enjoying the fresh air.

Harbek calls out "there is something further on, it seems in trouble"
“Harbek, if the bridge is long enough I can throw a rope and grapple across to you, perhaps you can secure it to something so we have a way to ensure no one falls while crossing the bridge,” Halec calls out to the dwarf.
Harbek yells "lets try it"

Dexterity check for Halec to toss the grapple to Harbek: 15
OOC: I am assuming we can just keep trying until it reaches him? This is more so we have a failsafe in case anyone stumbles off the bridge, btw.
Yes, you are able to keep trying.
