Her husband Kasqa ran to her side and helped her to sit, touching his forehead to hers. He spoke soothing words to her in his native dialect, and when she was ready, helped her to her feet.The view from the top of the cliff was spectacular, and one could see more than a hundred miles over the Chultan jungle to the south and east. This included all of the Aldani Basin swamp, the source of many rivers (including the Soshenstar - the river that they had spent many days paddling). The basin was, at this moment, shrouded in a thick mist of evaporation in the heat. Still, the cartographer's job of drawing many maps could be completed from here at the gates of the old city. Within the crumbling walls were many wooden huts, far beyond any repair as they rotted in the damp heat.To follow the escaping Pterafolk to the west, they would need to pass through the ruined city, cross the plateau, and search the south-western cliffs for some sort of nest, perhaps."Tarri needs rest, and time to complete her task but yet we cannot abandon Qawasha to a his fate." declared Wulf Rygor when the group was all together at the ruined gatehouse. "I propose that Kasqa and I watch over her here under the shelter of this stone archway, while you rescue our man. We will not be far if you find trouble in the ruins, and you will have no difficulty finding us when you return. What say you?"</blockquote>
