Manzanita

Manzanita scans the area intently, bow at ready. "Dunathor, perhaps you should take the first ascent, with rope."

Nodding his head with the plan, Dunathar puts the spare rope across his chest and begins climbing up trusting that his companions will cover his climb.

Dunathar climbs the slope carefully. Peering over the ledge, he finds the lookout post is uninhabited. Moving to the door, he finds it is locked.

[Who is going up? Is anyone staying at the campsite, with the animals and the prisoner? Please describe who is where.]

Securing the area quickly, Dunathar waves to the others below that it is safe to come up. After finding the door locked, Dunathar begins examining it for traps or alarm wires while the others approach.

Manzanita will secure her gear and climb up the rope.

Dunathar searches the door and finds no traps. Pulling out his thieves' tools, he manages to open the lock without too much difficulty. Beyond the door is the familiar site of the corridor, splitting down to the left and up to the right.

Rowyn shifts impatiently in the midst of the group. If we're going to go, let's just do it! she thinks. Finally, she brushes past the others to head up the right corridor. She pauses and turns back to the group. "This way?" she says, with a slight question in her voice.

Rowyn moves into the narrow corridor, taking the lead. The corridor winds up the hill, ending in a locked door. Dunathar carefully searches the door, and finding nothing, opens it with his lockpicks. Inside is a ten foot diameter room with a couple empty chair-height boxes. The room is filled with a light mist, and the smell of the outdoors. There are several small openings on all sides of the room and up. The view out the openings is concealed by mist, but after a few minutes the mists clear for a while, giving a clear view of the surrounding valley, blanketed in fog. After a few more minutes the mist obscures the view again. If yesterday's weather pattern repeats again today, it will be several hours before the mists clear for good.
