Re: The Snows of Summer Part II: The Depths of Winter
The group spends the night in the lodge getting to know one another a bit more and to prepare for the upcoming leg of their journey. It is unknown to them when they may happen across another shelter like this, so it is enjoyed and will likely be missed. Morning arrives, breakfast is prepared and you go over once again your provisions before setting out. You leave the warmth of the lodge, step off the porch into the snow and cold gusts of wind immediately make their presence known. There are both human and non-human tracks which lead you west to the rope bridge. As you approach, you see that the rope bridge is twisting in the wind and is coated with both snow and ice. Looking over the ledge, you cans see Timber Creek roughly fifty feet below, twisting its way through what the locals call Red Run Gorge. A former guide back in Heldren gave you some information on the area beyond the lodge. He said the bridge leads to the High Ridge, a stony backbone of forested cliffs overlooking the entire forest, which provides the swiftest means of reaching the rest of the Border Wood and ultimately the Somir Valley.

"That Doesn't look promising," Kolya says with a look of concern on his face. "I suppose we're going to have to cross it, aren't we?"

"Yes, one at a time, snowshoes off, crampons on, if you have any." He looks down at Grip, "I have a climiber's kit and enough rope to tie on to each person'. We can cross one at a time, hold the rope in case someone goes over the side." He produces his climber's kit and offers it to Kolya, then attached his rope, and looks forward, "After you." He holds the rope, knots it a few times, then wraps it around him arms and plants his feet to prevent Kolya from falling should he go over the side.

Kolya swallows hard, but nods. "Right," he says and gets into the harness. He takes great solace in the presence of the two Ulffen. With them holding the other end of the rope, there was little chance he'd fall far. Either of them could probably break him in half without trying too hard.
Once the harness is on, Kolya heads over to the rope. Kicking it a little to try and shake off the ice, he takes a careful grip and starts slowly across.

"Luckily I am small and don't weight much." Nyria says as she grabs the rope and ties herself to them. "Sometimes being small has its benefits."

Kassius ties himself too and waits for his time to cross the rope bridge.
