Azreal, Half-Celestial Paladin/Warmage HP: 46/46 AC: 19

Azreal shook his head, "Now we just have remember not to come back this way again . . . ."

OOC: Has Azreal slept enough to have some lay on hands available - if so he will use it on those in need before returning to sleep.

(occ not yet... after a whole night of sleep (and it is only first watch) /occ)

With barely a sound Taran once again sets out his pallet. And as the other move to begin their watches he slowly drifts off into a Trance.
 

The rest of the night passes without further encounter, although strange sounds occasionally echo across the plains or are carried up from the town behind them. Waiting late in the morning, Azreal does his healing and again the party moves out – minus their mules, but disturbing their equipment and food between the two hatch-sacks and Fury, they are able to manage.

Again they move out, happy to leave the town behind them. To the north, the plains they are passing shines brighter then before, but it is one that does not reflect the filtered light in a good way. The harsh, almost blinding light is painful to look at and distracting to say the least. Seeing little throughout most of the day, towards evening the land changes to becoming more broken and hilly. An hour or so before night fall, as the group is wandering through a narrow canyon, the see a strange tower, made of black stone. Everything they are have seen so far has been broken and blasted, ruined by whatever destroyed Cyran – and yet here, where no town was show on their map as they follow the old Lightning Rail line, stands a tower that looks to have been well maintained and not more then a few years old…

(occ you are still four days away from the tower that you are looking for… this is not it, unless it somehow moved and it does not look like 13 described it to you /occ)

While continuing to scan the surrounding terrain Taran turns his head slightly towards the party. "Though curious I must agree with friend Marcus. The delay to our journey could be exploited by our foes. But if possible I would see the edifice on our return trip."

(occ the narrow canyon you are passing through is not totally blocked by the tower but it takes up much of it.... you would have to pass close to it. Or you could backtrack and work your way through another canyon. The sides of the 'hills' around here are mostly pale clay and loose dirt and it is not easy to climb at all... it tends to fall apart, etc /occ)
 

Fighting the explorer urge in him, Neville replies, "I must agree. Though I wonder how it has stood this long in such rough climes, we'd best not enter." He looks on the map and frowns. "I think we could skirt around it without any incident. Supplies being as they are, I'd hate to tarry any longer." he finishes, loathing to think of wasting a day or two in the hills, or any more blood on the dangers they may hold.
 


Backing up, Neville and Azreal scout out another path through the broken hills. There is only a bit of light left in the day, but they quickly fine a winding path and set up camp near a box canyon that is fairly defensible.

Watches are set up again, and the party beds down for a cold camp. The night slowly passes, but not without sounds and flashes in the clouds. Also, the winds blowing through the rock canyons cause lose rock and sand to tumble down in small slides, and strange rumbling can be felt shifting the ground at odd times and intervals.

But finally the weak, misty shrouded sun raises and the group readiest itself to move out. But Arrow and Henry both seem agitated and start barking a bit before they calm down. It is quickly apparent what has riled them up - for around the first corner of the canyon stands the black tower - as if it had always been here. Again the canyon is overly large…
