Cactus juice coats the shaft and it slips round in his fingers, and the usually stolid dwarf finds himself slipping around as well. Several times he almost loses his footing! Eventually he makes it through, leaving a narrow path for the others to follow.Harn and Kecil follow the dwarf through the patch, and the three adventurers find themselves standing on a thin strip of open land at the edge of a 15-foot wide ravine. A casual glance down the edge reveals a huge multi-armed, wickedly barbed cactus dominating the ground 10 feet below the ledge, almost directly below where the sad little goat Rombard has been lazily tied to a scrub bush. The goat is covered in cactus quills and is frantically pulling at the rope, bleating at maximum volume.</blockquote>
