[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 6184607, member: 51930"] Duncan listens to the description of the mission, and nods. He leans over the table by Echo to get a better view. "This mountain you mentioned seeing. How much of our journey will be in the mountains? For the pack animals we may want to either get climbing animals now, or see if there is a village nearby where we can purchase or hire them. There are rock-lizards that walk up walls and can be trained to carry riders or supplies. We may want those. Otherwise, it sounds like the mountain isn't where the city itself lies, and maybe it isn't really upside down. A friend once mentioned something about the ancients 'folding' reality. Maybe this is what he was talking about? Sounds to me like the city was 'folded' in time. Maybe Jastor's group travelled to the city when it was whole, then ruined it back in time, then returned to his own time. I've heard tales like that: walk in, walk out, age a hundred years or none at all." He rubs his chin. [I]I wonder if I age... Would I die?
