[QUOTE="Hrothgar, post: 2748328, member: 22226"] [B]Arc of Halail, Day 5 LA 99[/B] The rolling northern plains stretch to the horizon, broken only by stone topped hills and the small copses of pine and oak that nestle in small vales or crest low hills. Overhead, leaden skies continue to mist, slowly soaking the Heroes and cooling the summer air. Talk is minimal and spirits waver as the Heroes trudge south, hoping to lose themselves in a sea of waist-high sword grass. The previous day was spent in rest, the Heroes healing their wounds, guarded by their own vigilant watch and Morn's snares.
