Reed’s jaw snapped shut and her eyes focused on Andreev’s face.  Fear, anger, embarrassment all flashed across her face to varying degrees . . . then it was as if a mask covered them.  She smiled warmly, seeming to just recognize Andreev.  “I’m fine, sugah, You’ve got more important things ta take care of,” she replied in a slightly heavier southern accent.Lucas and Rylee moved from person to person, adjusting the load of their gear and checking the straps and buckles of the various bags.  Some bags were decidedly unwieldy . . . Lucas noted particularly Lorelai’s seabag.  After thoroughly repacking the bag and redistributing the items within, the seabag seemed to weigh five pounds lighter.Durant reviewed the journey as described by Medraut in his mind.  South out through the stone city, about four miles down, a path leading up into the mountains.  According to Medraut, the path was made by stargazers many, many years ago.  Follow the path as it winds its way around the mountain, crossing to an adjacent mountain to the west.  From there, the journey began particularly more difficult as there were no more paths.  Three more mountains had to be gotten around (two more south, one west) before arriving at the particular mountain needed.  Climbing several more thousand feet up to a plateau cut within the mountain side . . . to a forgotten temple of their people.  The plateau was unnoticeable from above, having been cut into the mountain.  Only by approaching from the direction they would the entrance to the plateau and temple be apparent.OOC: All, feel free to discuss or start on your journey.</blockquote>
