Bali checked on the state of the (thankfully few) wounded members of the company, before turning back to the gap where Ani Dao and Burzdol were stranded across. The rope had been lost, dislodged during the avalanche.
Bali was worried that they would freeze without heat, so he and several dwarves heaved several of the smaller pieces of firewood over the gap to them, where Burzdol made a fire. But their wood supply would not last forever; they needed to move on, and soon.
