Any chance the creeper and rope ladder at the Abandoned Mines leading into Beisswurms could be updated to use modern athletics checks so the punishing RT decreases with skill?
[Mountainous Route]
Loose rocks from recent landslides cover the trail making progress slightly more precarious and slower. A strong creeper seems to have won a battle with the steep cliff face and secured holds in the rock as far up as you can see.
Obvious paths: east, up.
>climb creep
You scamper up and over the rock face.
[Abandoned Mine, Entrance]
Gigantic boulders are strewn all over, steep rock faces surround this area and a large hole lies in the ground. Firmly secured to several of the boulders is a rope ladder. Other than the sinkhole, there do not appear to be any obvious exits. You also see a strong creeper.
Obvious paths: none.
[Roundtime: 7 secs.]
>
>climb ladder
You quickly lower yourself down the rope ladder and find yourself on a ledge.
[Abandoned Mine, Ledge]
More shining deposits glitter before your eyes. Making a mental note of the exact location, you consider returning with the correct tools to mine these rich deposits. High above shines a faint light, possibly the exit from the mine. A rope ladder dangles above you. You also see a rope.
Obvious exits: none.
Roundtime: 11 sec.
