[QUOTE="ryryguy, post: 5072957, member: 64945"] [COLOR="DarkSlateGray"]// OOC: I will respond to your posts, just wanted to finish up some info about the journey.[/COLOR] The road continues through increasingly dense jungle. It's not much of a road, but it is well marked with stone columns and wooden posts that are painted with glyphs of Magari origin. It would have been easy to make it without a guide, so far at least.
