Abramul Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 "Thank you for your assistance. We have plans to speak with Smudge, but if he isn't able to help us, we will stop by tomorrow." May as well head to the main square, now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malchik Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Lurel's Party You make it through the pass unscathed. The descent down the mountainside is difficult and tiring. Although the road is being reconstructed parts of it are treacherous. It is wide enough in places to enable you to camp. There are small flat areas on either side periodically. None of them is welcoming. A cold wind is impeding your progress. Your options are to camp on the road, in one of the flat areas to the side, at the bottom of the mountain or not to stop at all. Siffli and Lisette You get back to the main square just in time. A small, snotty-nosed boy of about seven years old is waiting for you. He says before you open your mouths. "I ain't got no arrers and I can't git none neither." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Lurel stumbles, and curses softly. "I think we should stop soon," he sighs, "if only we could find somewhere out of this wind!" He looks at the others to see how they are doing. "I could probably make it to the bottom of the mountain - how about you? Might be a bit less windy down in the valley."

Switch Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ford pants. "I'm not sure... I might be able to make it to the bottom of the mountain... but this wind is so cold and strong... it's hardly going to be easy..." He looks around. "I wonder if there are any large rocks or anything that would break the wind near here... we can't just camp in the open, it's too cold..."

Malchik Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 Lisette and Siffli Smudge wriggles uncomfortably. "I don't tell on my clients. They wouldn't trust me if I did that. Wots wiv de arrers any'ow?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThetaOrionis01 Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Lurel looks around. "I don't think even our tents would do as any good here. Shall we walk a bit further, and stop at the first place we come to that offers even a little bit of shelter? I could perhaps raise an earth wall ... but I don't know. I don't like playing around with that unless we're in danger." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malchik Posted May 25, 2005 Author Share Posted May 25, 2005 The small flat areas to the side of the path offer no protection from the wind however the rocks are friable and many are simply lying on the ground. The wind is very drying, chapping your lips and irritating your eyes. As you move forward you see that before you reach level ground there is a particularly deep gulch to be traversed. Unfortunately there is no flat land at the bottom of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switch Posted May 25, 2005 Share Posted May 25, 2005 Ford sighs heavily. "This place is hell!" He looks around. "Well I don't know what to do... no cover, nothing we can stack up, everything's horribly flat and unprotected..." He ponders for a moment. "We have two choices I figure: either press on into this eye-stinging dry wind for hours more until we find a more viable camp spot, or we try your earth raising idea..."
