"Okay, I'm going to use my second wind and then charge up the ladder."

"Charge up the... Dave, your character's hands are both full. He can't even climb the ladder, let alone charge it. I don't even know what that would entail. Brad, go ahead and take your turn while Dave studies up on anatomy."

MOMENTS LATER

"Alright, I'm going to charge up the ladder."

"But you already... that doesn't work, Dave, because..."

"Yeah, let's try it again."

"Ok, so how do you propose that... lemme see here... Gabriel. How does Gabriel 'charge' the ladder with both hands full? I am honestly curious."

"Well, why doesn't he jump? Just hop up the ladder. Hop hop hop."

"That's.... I.... I can't even... Okay, you know what? Fine. Let's do it. Make an Acrobatics check."

"You know it."

(clatter)

"Well, I'll be damned."

In a superheroic and extraordinarily undwarflike display of poise, Gabriel Sledgehammer charges up the ladder. He leaps, like a graceful ballerina, from rung to rung. It is patently ridiculous to behold.

Arriving atop the ledge, he takes a moment to bask in the glory before mauling a nearby (and awestruck) hobgoblin.

14 damage, archer bloodied. Gabriel's HP 27 (2)

Ascending the stairwell, Argumentus casts about for a foe. His brash and boastful challenges are of limited utility, however, since he can't actually see anybody.

The soldier does wander in the direction of the stairwell regardless, more out of curiosity than anything else.
