Kuublu looks around. Maybe he can climb the wall across? He jabs the depths of the stream with his javelin. Or maybe a flotation device using animal skins, oil... He might have to head back to the village. This might take some time. If only he had an axe, he could fell some trees...


Oh yeah, maybe some bamboo in the surface would allow him to snorkle through...

Kuublu places one foot experimentally on the fragile wood and there is a sudden crunch as his stony foot punches straight through it....he's not sure his javelins are going to cut it....

Hearing the crunch of the breaking plank, Ak'kulula is woken from his trance. He spins around and watches as the Prince lifts his feet from the hole in the wood of the bridge and steps back gingerly.

"Hold my Prince!" The lad calls out. He begins examining the plank bridge once again, this time to see if it would be strong enough to withstand being coated in a layer of ice.

If it is strong enough, he retrieves the staff from his back, points the bluish tip at the bridge, and attempts to freeze it by thinking of the coldest winter in his young memory...

Kuublu raises his hand and instructs Ak' to hold off. Kuublu will tie rope to his waist, and get Ak to anchor him to the bridge. Instead of putting his weight on the bridge, his weight will be suspended by the water. Ak' will guide the rope and help pull Kuublu across to the other side. We'll tie rope at the bases of the bridge in case the torrents are that strong.

After hearing out the Prince and understanding his scheme, Ak'kulula jumps to obey. He takes the necessary lengths of rope from the other companions, and ties them to a sturdy stone pylon on the side of the stone quay. Crossing over to the other side of the bridge, he ties the other end of the ropes to another sturdy stone outcropping there. The ropes are left to dangle loosely and within reach of someone in the river...

He turns to nod at the Prince - everything is ready for Kubluu to grab the rope, jump into the river, and using the rope as guide pull himself across.

EDITED...
Hope this works and is good enough for stony Kubluu to get across safely...

Kuublu steps into the water. Additional precaution of a third rope would be nice, but Kuublu thinks its embarrassing, why not all the ropes?...

Kuublu steps into the water and sinks like the proverbial stone.... the rope lashed to the stone bridge pylons goes taut at both ends and angles down sharply and there is a disconcerting groaning sound from the fibrous rope where it is lashed about the pylons.

Kuublus fingers tighten in a death grip on the rope around his waist as he disappears under the surface, he begins attempting to pull himself along but with no purchase for his feet and the terrible chill of the water....and the steadily increasing need to maybe take a breath at some time in the near future....

The rope goes taut in Ak'kululas hands and almost tugs him over the edge......he calls for the other three to assist him as he tries to pull Kuublu towards him....it is like trying to move a boulder....

Kuublu manages to move a little way along by agonizingly pulling himself hand over hand along the rope....

Aks muscles knot like cords and he slowly hand over hand manages to crank the rope across towards him, the others assist him as best they can....as his arms scream with pain as small smile comes to his face as he determines they have gotten the prince half way across.

Despite the mystical strength in his limbs Ak'kululas hands slip on the rope, and it is only the newly bolstered grip of Chiemeka and Pulgils well planted feet that prevent disaster.

Below the surface, Kuublu began to struggle....his hands began to slack on the rope and he was no longer able to fight the urge to try and take a breath.

As Kuublu drifted into unconciousness the others struggled valiantly to try and pull him up out of the water.

The four above hauled on the rope with all their might, and were able to pull Kuublu from the cold waters and up onto the rock shelf where he coughed and spluttered....

OOC:

No damage to Kuublu as he got out before he started taking damage.

08:00, Today: Damian May, for the NPC Kuublu, rolled 15,15,16 using 1d20,1d20,1d20. Hold breath. [color=#FF0000]All failures.

08:03, Today: Damian May, for the NPC Pulgil, rolled 4 using 1d20.
08:03, Today: Damian May, for the NPC Chiemeka, rolled 16 using 1d20.
08:03, Today: Damian May, for the NPC Ak, rolled 7 using 1d20.

Kuublu comes around after clearing out his lungs.

"My punishment... for presuming to know what the spirits think! I hope that I have the strength to overcome future trials."

Kuublu looks at his arms.

"I will bear this punishment and hope that I can atone for my sins."

Kuublu will rest and be ready.
