Day 260: Keep 5
Taylar walks over, still perplexed by the travel method of the symbols, and scoops up a stone on the way. When the group is resettled on the porch of Keep 5 Taylar says, "We have been impressed by the power of the Yahdram to transport people and objects from one space to another, but this question still haunts me, where do we go between here and there?" To demonstrate he tosses the stone from one hand to the other. "And what happens if we go only halfway?" He grips the stone in his hand with one half hanging out, and the other enclosed in his fist.
Vittero considers Taylar's audible thoughts. "
I figure this process is a whole lot more complicated than we can yet determine. Half way between here and there would be a long fall."
Raven Elk claps Taylar on the shoulders: "Let's go catch up with our friend."
All the while, Raven Elk wants to query Adisakti on how he managed the transfer with such aplomb. Adi was always more attuned to the "other". He wanted to understand what was so easy for him in the hopes of being more attuned to Way himself.

GM NOTE: I hope this does not spoil anything. All characters who managed to transport themselves arrived randomly. No one has yet the acumen to use the symbols with efficiency.

Adi readies his staff, not sure if the bird is the only thing causing the other creatures to be silent. The fact that the bird stopped singing when he backed away is curious. Adi, not being the type to leave well enough alone, for the satisfaction of his own curiosity, takes a few steps toward the bird to see if it will begin to sing again.
As Adisakti moves again to the edge of the cliff to peak over, he realizes that the silence is limited to his immediate vicinity, for farther insects, frogs, and birds still chirp and a bird of prey occasionally calls from far overhead.
Peering over, the strange bird, which seems to be visually dependent, starts to sing again when he notices Adi. As Vittero makes the landing, he sees Adi and moves beside him. "
What are you seeing over here?"
Adi has no need to answer for Vittero immediately sees the curious birds, who not only sing but hang upside down from their perch when they do. "
Hey! Come take a look at these birds."
As the sound of Vittero's suggestion fades, everyone can hear the marvelous song of the birds, which seems to have grown louder.
