[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 6333861, member: 6666968"] Taking the cautious approach of moving through the forest, you get glimpses of the ridge top and pillar formations from time to time through the trees. You think there is something atop of the pillars, but it is hard to make out at a distance. Sneaking up and taking care to not to be seen yourself, you can eventually get a vantage point close enough to see that there is something there. On each pillar stands a motionless figure. Bleached bones stare out at the world. Each holds a bow in their bony hands. They are still hard to see from this distance, but they seem to stand there like scarecrows, motionless. By being cautious, it has taken you eight hours to get this far. That is enough work for a horse in a day, so they will get cantankerous if you try to ride them further. If you walk and lead them by the reins, the grudgingly come along. [sblock=Status]You still have four hours of daylight. That can let you move away a bit and camp for the night, charge on foot getting to the fort about dusk, park the horses and sneak up to deal with the pillar guardians, or something else the evil GM hasn't planned for. :D You are still about a mile out, and are only getting and idea of what is up there on take20 perceptions. So, where you are at is relatively safe from being spotted. 11/11 HP ~ AC 16 ~ Darvus ~ 12/12 HP ~ AC 17 ~ Yosephus ~ 26/26 HP ~ AC 22 ~ Muzdum ~ 10/10 HP ~ AC 16 ~ Devlin ~ [COLOR=#000000]..[/COLOR]7/7[COLOR=#000000]..[/COLOR]HP ~ AC 12 ~ Tamarie ~ [/sblock][sblock=Map]You can travel along the brown road at three squares an hour. The dark grey line is a winding forest trail that you can get two squares an hour. Going 'cross-country' through the forest without a trail gets you one square an hour. The rock formations are cliffs with the two pillar rocks guarding the "entrance" to the hill. But, to the south of the pillars, it is simply a steep hill to climb up to the plateau instead of a cliff face. So, you can enter by the "trail" on the expected path, or sneak south a bit more for coming up the hill. The plateau top is some three hundred feet higher than the surrounding area. So, it is easy to spot from a distance, or to have spotters look out from. [IMG]http://lpf.coloredpixels.com/Return/ridge2.png[/IMG][/sblock] [/QUOTE]
