[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8380471, member: 59816"] The rain beat down on the Sticks as they made their way toward the Walled Compound. To their great joy, they found that the [I]Little Star[/I] had returned to the shrine on the earth pillar. They could see it from atop the east-west raised road - the big blue balloon stretched sideways in the wind from the east. Weed scampered across the make-shift rope bridge that stretched between the pillar and Omu proper and joined Miss Imogen by climbing on her back and wrapping its leafy arms around her neck. Qawasha followed and reported that Captain Bravewing wanted to move the airship to a place more sheltered from the wind and rain; perhaps under the cliffs. After some discussion, it was decided that the ship would set down near the entrance to the Tomb of the Nine Gods, which was under the cliffs to the north. (The Thayans had discovered the place during their searchings, and Orvex was familiar with its location and could describe it and lead the others there later. Rodrigo and Harb rejoined the ship in case they encountered trouble with the move, while the others continued the journey to the Walled Compound. As they were crossing the Fallen Tree (dangerously slick with rain) they saw the Little Star sail past them in the sky, travelling northward. The Walled Compound appeared abandoned. There had been the fight between the Thayans and the Yuan-Ti a few days before, and much of the place was in worse ruin than it had been before the Thayan's arrival (which was quite ruined even then). Still, the Thayans had set up camp here and in spite of looting by various parties (there were signs of recent Kobold activity, and the Yuan-Ti had taken things during their raid) the Sticks were able to loot many much-needed arrows, a few nets, and a small amount of unspoilt rations. In addition there were wooden poles and a large animal trap that might prove useful. As they were about to leave, the last remaining Red Wizard made her appearance from behind a crumbling pillar of stone. She appeared to be a young woman of about eighteen years, but part of her face was wrinkled and old, and her eyes were sharp with wisdom.
