They stood on a rocky bluff, covered in wispy grasses. A small, but expensive-looking pavilion tent marked the old wizard's command post. At the sound of the teleports (a soft hum and a slight popping noise), a woman emerged from a colorful tent nestled between two trees.<a href="https://www.enworld.org/attachments/volyana-jpg.83689/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.enworld.org/data/attachments/25/25702-ef872049424d810f00c22272cda3f7df.jpg?hash=74cgSUJNgQ" alt="Volyana.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" /></a>She called out, not loudly, but firmly: "Pick yourself a spot to camp. We have no way of knowing how long this will take, nor if you will succeed. When you are ready, come and speak to me." She had a commanding tone that stood no argument, and she turned quickly to speak to Corrah the halfling. As she did, there was no way to miss an unmistakable bulge: She was very pregnant."Hiya, Volyana, didja eat the root-soup my old gran suggested?" asked the halfling."I did. It was vulgar." Volyana made a grim face that turned to a smile, "Thank her for me, Corrah.""I will. Anything I should check out for these guys before they get themselves killed?""A raven told me this morning that there is a wagon coming up the switchback. More of those blasted mercenaries, I expect." Volyana made a hand sign and spat on the ground."I'll go check it out." Corrah shrugged off her pack, leaving it on the ground, and jumped over a rock. She landed in a dried stream bed, slid downward, and disappeared out of sight, heading down the mountain toward the northeast.Looking northward, across a small river-valley that was out of sight but obviously there to those who understood how land was structured, there rose an ominous peak of black rock.Loklafd stepped out of the teleporter and saw one or two of the newly gathered adventurers looking at it. He nodded and said, "You have seen it, now. That is your objective. The Temple of Bhaal lies under that mountain. We call it 'Blackpeak', and this, our camp, we call 'Greenpeak' by comparison."[ATTACH=full]409023[/ATTACH](OOC: This isn't perfect - for one it's slightly too large in scale, and there's no snow, and the river doesn't flow toward the camera, just from left to right, but otherwise it does a pretty good job of it.)</blockquote>
