[QUOTE="Scotley, post: 7197361, member: 11520"] The day of travel passes uneventfully, though the Worldwound's unpleasant other-worldliness takes a toll on everyone's mood. A halt is called a couple hours before dark as there is reasonably safe campsite before the army will have to travel a fairly narrow gorge. Aron takes the heroes aside and points out a feature of the gorge ahead. Narrow stairs lead up the side. He tells you some history.
