Chapter 1: A Friend In Need


"A potion is magical healing, like the syringe I stuck you with...except that was just heroine." He grins. He checks the game rating. Are we allowed to mention drugs in the all audiences version? It was just a joke, it's not drugs, it's magic.
Leading the way to room 11 with everyone, helping with Floon however he can. He stops to inspect the pillar that opened the portal. "Some kinda key goes here." But he wasn't interested in going wherever the mind flayer was.
Back at the icy ladder, "Well, plenty of ways to carry Floon up the ladder. Half of us could go up with a rope, tie it to him, then probably Gareth carries him up, but you probably can't carry your lantern, listen, I'm probably overthinking this, but you can climb a ladder in the dark with some dead weight can't ya? Of course you can. You've basically been carrying this entire team, and your shoulders ain't even hurtin'."
Perhaps its the calm way he continues to talk and talk like he doesn't care what the words are, he just likes the sound of his own voice, but the pep talk is reassuring and gives a little confidence boost.
Regardless of how we actually climb the ladder lets do an athletics check from EVERYONE.
I cast guidance on Gareth, add d4 to your roll.
