Sheldon and Vadin can see less than half as well, while Matumbo can only see 23% as well as he could during the day.[/gm]Sheldon answers, "Well, we wanted to see how the Da'Roneh were managing to make raids on the caravans. Also, to go at your former village first, we would have had to go through the jungle and come at the valley from the other side. Merin and I thought this would be better when we discussed it some several days back, long before we even decided to make the trip."Like Merin had, Matumbo begins to walk away, but as soon as he is away from the dim light stone that Sheldon is holding, he realizes that he can barely see to walk around, much less actually find anything. From a pouch sheldon pulls three more of the dimly glowing stones and hands them to each of the others."I can make several of these at a time. I chose to keep them dim because I do not want the light to penetrate the jungle and alert the Da'Roneh village. They will glow for most of the night."The party uses the available huts and spends the night in relative comfort. In the morning light, everyone gets a clear picture of where they are situated. The lookout camp is built back into the trees, but a bald outcropping juts toward the east at this location. A person can readily see the road from the outcropping, but the chances of being noticed from below are negligible, especially if the lookout is lying down.West of the immediate treeline, back toward the hidden valley, it becomes evident that Sheldon's previous caution was for naught. The mountain chain rises again, cutting off egress. The only path to this lookout and from the road to the village at this location is the fatman's misery, a ravine so narrow it seems to have been designed for the Faethrin by the gods.Following the cut in the rock it does not really matter who is in the lead, for travel is necessarily slow. The cut opens on the other side of the peaks, still at a relatively high elevation. The larger of the trees that contain residences for the Da'Roneh can be identified as the poke above the rest of the canopy. Some hint of structure way on the other side of the valley must belong to the Deviard who reside there.Out of the cut in the rock and down into the valley, the four men can fan out and walk parallel paths. From this secret direction, there does not appear to be guard posts as there were on the north end of the lake, which means that the nearest structure, secured up in a gigantic tree, should be a residence. Rope ladders allow access and arboreal pathways have been manufactured between the structures.The sounds about the village all seem normal, voices can be heard, and the party is not near enough to have yet been noticed.</blockquote>
