"Hmm...we don't have the time to just be sitting here. We will go on ahead. The rest of you can wait here. We should return in short order if all things are clear."
*Zaeryl heads off ahead to go scouting, but unfortunately, even by the time the sun has risen, he has not returned...*
*With the light, the group can see the path ahead--The going is hard and steep, it seemed to be at the limit of what a horse could navigate even without a rider. To theileft, the slope into the canyon became steeper and steeper until it seemed that not even a mountain goat could negotiate it. Ahead, a steep pinnacle looms in front, rising much higher than is feasible to climb. The best way ahead is to skirt the side of the mountain, clinging to a narrow slope between the mountain and the canyon, but the slope narrows to a rocky ledfe. This would be difficult, and one false step would cast him down far into a deep chasm.*
