Lorath walked out onto the broken path, and stopped before it ended. Looking out on the sets of pillars he had to cross and the distance between them, he quickly devised a plan. First he reached into his bag, and pulled out his length of rope. After he tied it into a lasso of sorts with a loop which could be tightened or loosened as he pulled on the longer length of rope, he cast Strength on himself. Then he cast Enlarge on himself, to make it more likely that he could reach each pillar.
His process for crossing the river was surprisingly simple. First he would throw his rope to grasp around one of the pillars ten yards away, and when it finally wrapped around he would pull it tight while it was still above the water. When the rope was secured to the pillar he would wrap it around himself as well, and pull himself across by way of the rope. Then he would pull himself up onto the pillar and repeat, until he was on the other side.
