As they draw closer to the mountains a stble comes into view up ahead. As we draw closer to him he tells us that there is a deep fisur that runs along the mountain for many miles, and the only way across are several series of rope bridges and that horses are relitivly usles on a climb up the mountains. He also stated that we can leave the horses with him for a small fee.
"Oh bugger," Epotheros said annoyed. "We'll just have to cross the bridge then."
The man then showed them the way to a long narrow rope bridge. It was almost 100 yards across. Epotheros went first, the bridge slowly swayinging, causing him to hold onto the rope railings.
"Seems safe enoung but lets cross it carefully."

After readying herself Clover clicked her mouth for Amicus. Once she mounted Alfie, Amicus perched behind her like before. Clover yawned and looked about. She had never been to this village before and probably wouldn’t see it again. What a peaceful place, she thought. Mountains sounded like a challenge. Clover was actually looking forward to it. The higher up she was, maybe her connection with the wind would strengthen. She wasn’t sure, but her curiosity dominated her thoughts as they journeyed towards the mountains.
When they reached a stable a man explained why they couldn’t continue on horse. Clover was saddened by the idea of leaving Alfie behind. He was the first horse she had ever truly had for herself. Without fuss she followed the others. When they reached the rope bridge she said a small prayer to the wind in her head, please grant us safe passage.

I was not happy to hear we were going to have to leave r horses behind but it was no big deal I was us to traveling on foot I rarely had the lechery of traveling horse back
as we approached the fissure I was amazed my its sheer size I walked up to the very edge and stared down into its depths “what could had created such a scar into the earth surface” I thought to myself I then stepped back and rejoined clover and epotheros
as epotheros started to crosses the bridge a slight wind fleered up and made the bridge swing back and forth “u ok” I yelled to epotheros

As the trio aproached the last 20 yards of the bridge two green goblin like creatures rusher out from behind some vegitation. They positioned themselves, one on each side of the posts, that held the bridge up on that side. With a few quick slashes from their knives they severed the ropes and the bridge started to fall.
Epotheros stared to slide down the rope, catching himself a few yards from where he fell as the bridge swung down epotheros stuck his feet out in order to catch himself when they hit the rocky wall of the fissure. As they hit there was so much force generated, that the wooden plaks split all the way down the ropes jerking him and flailing him like a rag doll. It was a wonder he was able to hang on. As he stedied himself he looked up to see if any one was falling down after that shock.

Clearing herself of anxiety Clover followed behind the others across the bridge. She took no notice to her surroundings, instead she kept her mind focused on not falling. With each step one of her hands lifted and grabbed at the railing tightly. She didn’t let a moment pass for her not to have hold of the bridge. Though she was confident in the wind’s aid she didn’t want to take any chances. Amicus was flying above circling the area. Clover noticed a change in his call, a hint of warning and excitement was apparent. What could be wrong, she thought anxiously.
Without a reason known to her the bridge started to fall. Clover clung her whole body around the railing that she had been clinging to. Her body slide down the rope until it hit the rocky fissure. A loud “Huh,” left her mouth in pain. Somehow she was still clinging to the rope, but she had slid a long ways down it. Her sight was skewed and it took several minutes before she could see clearly. Clover’s whole body ached in pain and she now bore a splitting headache. She felt as if her body was glued to the rope. Trying to gather her senses she looked below to see if the others were ok.

The wind carried Larien across the fisur as if she were light as a feather. Her hair blew gracefully in a full veil of black sild behind her. Stepping down onto the stone she looked straight at the trolls with inwavering eyes.
Within seconds they scurried off like scared children.
"Epotheros all I can do to help is make your bodies feel lighter for the climb up."
Feeling a rush of energy she created a spiral of wind that started to slightly lift the ropes of the bridge and give the companions a little bit of levrage to climb back up.

Though the current of air that rushed up underneth them relieved their weight some what it also made the rope less stable and more wavering. The lower levels of the bridge lifted up denieing Epotheros a place to put his feet. It was inconveinent but he could pull himself up to at least Clover's level on his arm strength alone. As he begain to climb he felt a small drop of something wet coming from above him. He wiped his forehead against the back of his hand with out letting go and relized it was red as he looked at the small smear on his hand.
"Did some one get hurt when we hit the cliff?" Epotheros wondered in his head.
As he made his way up he noticed a figure clinging to the rope and hardly moving. He reconized that as Clover and scurried up the rope and pieces of wood to make sure she was ok.

Still in immense pain Clover looked past her body downward. She noticed someone climbing up the wrecked bridge. She then realized that there was swirling wind around her. Clover’s senses were still weakened by the collision with the fissure. “Uh, who’s there?” she said weakly gasping for air in between words. She still felt as if her body were glued to the railing of the once functioning bridge. Clover made some attempt to move up the rope, but she had little luck of moving at all.

Seeing that Clover was not in the right state of mind Larien lifted herself up with the wind and floated on a light breeze over to where Clover was clinging to the rope.
Speaking with the voice of the wind she tried to reach Clovers mind.
"Wake up Clover and come to your sences I can not get you to safety all by myself. I need you to be with me for this."
Offering her hand Larien hoped she would take it.

As Larien floated her way over to clover, Epotheros climbed up to were he was just below her feet. He was unable to continue further due to her body being in the way. He saw tha she was non resposive and quite shaken up by the experience. He also noticed a bright red scratch on her back from were she hit the rock wall of the cliff.
"Larien, do you think you can carry her long enough so that you can place her on a safe position on my back and then I can carry her up? Or are you able to lift her up, all the way to the top by yourself and is that safe?"

Clover heard a familiar voice in her head. She looked to the side of her. There was Larien. She nodded and tried to move again. This time she was able to loosen her grip of one of her hands. Wincing from the pain she eased her arm from the rope, still clinging onto it with the rest of her body. Her arm fell limp to her side. At this moment she was able to lift it about halfway up. She reached for Larien’s hand, but she wasn’t sure how much more she could take.

As we were crossing the bridge I cot a foul sent on the wind I thought about telling everyone but decided it was not important as I did the bridge gave way “sh**” I said to myself as I tried to grab onto a rope the bridge swung down and we hit the wall of the fissure hard the impact almost made me lose my grip of the rope I then started to clime up the rope but as I did an the rope swung back and forth rubbing on the rocks I had only made it about ten feet up when the rope I was climbing started to make a crackling sound and then snapped I tried to reach for another rope but they were all out of reach I then started to fall into the unyielding darkness of the fissure
As I fell I started to clear my mind “how do I get out of this” I keep thinking to my self I thought about using magic to stop my but I could not maintain a spell powerful enough to make me levitate for very long at all it then hit me an idea that could save my life it was extremely risky but at the moment I had nothing to lose as I continued to fall I was completely surrounded by darkness no light made it down to these deaths so I was using magic to since about how much farther I was from the ground it was a estimation but I could only hope it was close enough
I could since I was about one hundred feet from the ground “ok her goes nothing I said to myself” I said to myself as I continued to plummet toward the ground I they yelled “GATHEROW MOTA MARIN” I could fell an invisible force grab onto me slowing my descent and then a sudden wave of pain surged throughout my body I almost past out I then lend up “ok well hers the ground” I said as I cringed my face in pain
I then looked around to see a world of nothing I then felt around the ground until I found a rock when I did I put the rock in the palm of my hand “forisc montar” I whispered as I did the rock started to let of an eerie glow enough to eliminate about a ten foot area as I did I started to heir all types of commotion around me I could heir a lot something running around me and making unusual squeaking sounds “sh**” I said to myself I went to unsheathe my swords as I moved my right arm a wave of pain surged though my body I looked over to see the bone sticking out of my flesh I then took a few deep breaths and grabbed my arm and with my left hand popped the bone back into place I then almost blacked out from the pain but managed to stay conches out of fear of the creatures that were surrounding me

I looked around trying to make out the creatures but they stayed just faraway enough from the light I could not make them out much more that rough shadows I could tell they were about two feet tall stood on two legs and were about four feet long including what seemed like a tell as I sat there I looked down at my right arm to see it was bleeding badly “could this get any worse” I said to myself as I put my left hand over the wound “washin gomad” I said as I did the wounds healed but as I finished I noticed the orb of light around me shrinking “no” I said franticly as I grabbed the rock and gave it more energy I then layed down on the hard ground “I cant keep this up for long” I said as I started to try to think of a way to get out of this place

((To get this going again, I'm going to use your character Larien, very slightly.))
As Epotheros thought a few moments, he looked up and came to the realization Tramer was missing. "Did he fall off the bridge, or did he already climb up?" he thought. He then peered down into the darkness and noticed a very slight greenish glow coming from the bottom of the pit.
"Larien, I think that is Tramer! Since you are the only one who can fly down there you should go check on him while I see if Clover can hold onto me so I can carry her up to the top."
He then tried to get Clover's attention by patting the back her leg with his free hand. "Clover do you think you can get in to a position in which I can take you up to the top, because right now we are in a bit of a situation."
