The night air is chilly, perhaps in the upper 50s Fahrenheit. April sees no signs of distant city lights. Frank takes the lead, exiting the cave a short way. From atop the descent to the desert floor, he sees no trails or paths. He does, however, notice a strange, undulating pattern to the desert floor. It rises and dips in rounded humps and depressions, almost like waves on a relatively calm sea, but motionless except for faintly swaying scrub moving beneath the cold breeze blowing between the two cliff faces, the one in which is the cave and the other opposite from the group's position.Hari follows Frank out. The chill air is utterly dry, which is no surprise. The unfamiliar sky overhead is cloudless. Furthermore, nothing up there doesn't resemble a star or the alien moon. Hari sees no blinking lights, no moving lights, no hint of airplane or artificial satellite. Checking the horizons left and right, no water sign presents itself, nor does anyone hear the sounds of running water.The climb down to the desert floor could be tricky. It isn't particularly steep, but loose rocks abound. A missed step could easily lead to a tumble down several yards of rough terrain. Still, with care and slow-going, getting down from the cave oughtn't be difficult.The question is, of course, should the cave be left. Desert terrain is unforgiving, especially for people unsuitably clad and barefoot. Judging by the height of the moon, if one can judge by this strange moon, there are only a few hours before sunrise.OOC: I'm going out of town tomorrow evening for about a week. Probably won't have internet access throughout. If so, the game will have to pause, at least on my end. Your characters can talk, play cards, share way too much, et cetera.</blockquote>
