[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1574806, member: 118"] Aurial does a cursory scouting job of the area, giving the cave entrance a wide berth. While she finds no other bodies or evidence of trolls, she does spot what appears to be another cave just around the side of the hill. Its proximity suggests that it might connect into the other cave. It is well concealed behind dense brush, but her sharp eyes are able to make it out in the deep shadows of the cloudy early evening. The others select an island in a gossar tree about two hundred feet back from the cave entrance and well off the trail they had been following. The island is about forty feet off the ground - a somewhat tricky but doable climb. It would be very difficult for someone to climb without being at a serious tactical disadvantage. The island itself is about thirty feet in diameter. There are a couple small trees growing out of it and the rest is covered in small scrubby growth and grasses. There are some wild strawberries laden with ripe fruit as well, providing some fresh food to go with the dwindling rations. "I would recommend against any fire," Runther says, "not that we could start one after all the rain. I think trolls have a pretty good sense of smell, and a cook fire's smell might carry quite a ways." [/QUOTE]
