They party takes it leave of the ragged kobold encampment, and heads back to the trail. There, the mule and few belongings seem untouched during your brief time away, although the mule appears to have stripped every green thing from within it's tethered area.
Without preamble the party restarts it's trek up the trail. As you proceed, the surrounding countryside begins to become more and more rugged until the party is traveling along a path with two rather large cliffs on either side. In spite of that, the trail does seem pretty well maintained with bracing in several places shoring up the 60 to 80 foot canyon wall.
After almost two hours, you begin to see what you believe is the rock slide. As you approach, you can see that the southern wall of the canyon appears to have collapsed, dropping the upper part down onto the trail. The northern edge of the trail (next to the north wall) appears free of rocks, but the rest of the trail is covered in several feet of new fallen stone.
From where you are, you can see no evidence of life.
ooc: Kritical Failure and Sirhahn both seem MIA right now, so I'll NPC them until they return.
