"Yeah," she nodded, "I can make a decent knot."
She took the rope from Eris and began the complicated knot her dad had taught her to make the first time he had taken her sailing. Under, then over? ... or Over, then under?
She finally made a knot that was to her liking and handed it back to Eris. "That good enough?" she asked, slightly proud of herself.
With a proud nod Eris agreed, "Better than any witch could make." she replied quite literally with a grand smile. Without a wand, the most powerful wizard would be left dumbfounded at tying a good knot.
Such complicated movements... she would have to ask Sarah to teach her later.
Now came Eris' favorite part. Sure she was small, sure she was scrawny looking and a child; but she had
fantastic arm strength due to a series of childhood events and games.
Giving the rope, now grappling hook a few swings with her wrist, the young witch leaned back and with focus, flung the contraption till it hooked deep into the clay of the shrine near the top.
"Okay...can you climb up...grab the stone and toss it down?" Eris asked holding the rope out. When in the big picture of things, she decided having a giant stone heaved at you was the more dangerous role to take on. "Then Take the golden snake wrapping and bring it down with you." She grinned at the soon coming treasure.
