[Jasper briefly argues -- and communicates plans -- with the other pupps seated at the table, then begins his response.]
Stunned and disbelieving, Jasper gazed up at the castle with a mix of shock and awe. There was no way they'd come so far only to be stopped by some crummy castle wall! The beast -- and more importantly, the TREASURE -- was hidden just out of their reach!
Jasper felt the disappointment settle in his entire body when he thought of all that glorious treasure, and more importantly HIS share, hidden from him-- er, them, by the likes of some foul beast in an inaccessible castle. His whole body felt heavy, even his wings...
Of course, his WINGS! How could he forget? He couldn't fly for long distances without getting tired, but he just had to try!
After briefly consulting with the rest of the pupps on the team, he flapped his wings experimentally and launched himself into the air. He couldn't muster the energy to get over the wall completely, but he could sniff around the stone to see if he found anything...
[Jasper would like to use Nose's Perception to investigate the wall of the castle!]
Jasper flaps his wings, flying up and up, but not quite high enough to get to the top of the wall. With that level of exertion, Jasper starts to get a little exhausted, and looking around to try and find a paw hold, is able to find a small ledge in the wall, just enough to sit on.
The ledge is about half up the wall, giving Jasper a nice vantage point, for looking both around the castle, and investigating the ledge itself, perhaps it holds some sort of secret!
[Jasper snaps his fingers in response to his low roll, but he prepares a second response.]
Panting and out of breath, Jasper rests his wings lightly on the cool stone. He hadn't expected the walls to be so high, and he was slightly embarrassed that he couldn't make it all the way to the top.
Perhaps he could help in a different way?
He could see some pupps searching for, well, something on the ground by the walls, probably a way in. The only thing he remembered hearing about the castle was discussed at the group meeting; the farmers had discussed mostly the weather and the abundance of deer in the area. Maybe one of the other pupps had overheard something else and were trying to find a way in from that?
Stumped, and ever-thinking of that precious loot that awaited him-- er, them, Jasper put a thoughtful paw to his chin and tapped it a couple times. While he was too tired to get back to the ground in his current state, maybe he could nose around this tiny ledge and see if anything came to mind?
[Jasper would like to roll his Nose for perception to investigate the ledge!]
Its kind of peaceful on the ledge above it all, but Jasper buckles down to take a look at the ledge...
Jasper rolls a 17 + 3, for a total of 20, succeeding!
The stone on the ledge and the wall its attached to is the same cool gray stone as the rest of the wall, but one stone looks a bit different than the others, and its a bit loose too, Jasper is able to move the stone aside, revealing a lever!
As the lever is pulled, Jasper feels a rumbling from below where he sits on the ledge.

The castle walls are tall and intimidating...
Jasper rolls a 4 +3 for a total of 7, failing!
