Day 94 - 96: Moving Upstream
Vadin thinks for a moment and replies,
"I think the company would be good, and I would much rather travel with you all. You shall have my sword."
Sheldon smiles.
"
Good to have you along."
As the party travels Sheldon, Sannit, and Saemund work with Vadin on increasing his knowledge and sensitivity to various metals. Indigo and Bolo work with him using feathers and stones, while Tor and Merin explain the uses of bones, claws, and teeth.
During the courses of conversations, Vadin is able to gather that the group has deliberately diversified itself to be able to manipulate way across all mediums. In time he will want to choose a particular proclivity as well, since it is disadvantageous to attempt to pursue all.
During the course of the day, the elevation continues to rise and fall more dramatically. The grassland becomes spotted with trees then more densely covered. The change in elevation also brings a slight cooling to the heat of the plains. Linear travel has also slowed by half.
During the following day, the party does not encounter anything significant. Several varmints are spotted but allowed to simple move away, since plenty of deer meat remains. Later in the afternoon, some bright yellow beetles are discovered, these having carapaces about the size of a mans head. Three are captured for use. Cursory searches are done for known metals, stones, and herbs while traveling.
The second day of travel produces some upland game birds, of which none are taken due to the abundance of deer meat. The topography causes the stream to be inaccessible at various points during the day. By the end of the second day, it is considered too difficult to try to cross. Cursory searches are again done for known metals, stones, and herbs.
The third day brings the party into the true foothills of the mountains. No path remains of where travelers might have before passed. The land is much different here than any the Seekers have experienced before. The air is cooler. The towering trees of various foliage are sparsely placed among the rocks and crags. The common fauna is different as well bringing new birds and varmints into view.
