[Though getting a tall enough ladder up onto the pile of snow would also be a neat trick, but one he thinks he can handily manage. If not alone, there's got to be a Trenchie around who'd help him with it for a handful of crystals or a nice mushroom.

Although--]

Is there something among your gear that might help? [Where did it go? Illarion hadn't been specifically ((feeling)) around for anything else under the snowpack, but if it will give them an advantage...

His Omen pops into being with little fanfare, diving down the tunnel into Vyng's chamber. Don't mind the mothbird; she's here to help look for the missing gear from closer to ground level.]
