Firstly we received some Tea from the rather excellent people at Wayward Masquerade makers of the equally excellent Dragon Bagon’s and Bagthulhu’s. Give them a look if you need a good Dice Bag!
They have to get Down-Spire, but they really don’t want too use the guarded stairs. Which means… Climbing down the chains that keep Middle Perch from tumbling down to the ground. A hard climb, a dangerous climb, and one with more dangers than just falling screaming a mile to their deaths.
Episode 344

It won’t be a stupid insane plan at all.
