[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 3082268, member: 26473"] Nedjar gives Pyotr a quick nod of assent, and Pyotr begins picking his way up the narrow trail. It’s not quite steep enough to require his hands, but the Ukrainian feels the steepness in his quadriceps and gastrocnemiuses nonetheless. It takes a few minutes to reach the top, with Nedjar following a half-dozen meters behind, making the utmost attempt at quiet as he moves. There are no signs of previous passage in the thin soil other than the occasional tiny footprints of some animal, perhaps the small lizards that scramble over the rocks as Pyotr makes his way to the top. Reaching the rim, he crouches down and inches forward, using the rocky ground for cover as he peeps over the edge. The top of the ridge is a bit flatter than the one to the west from which the paras approached the gorge, topped with scattered rocks and a small bush in a hollow here and there. Looking along the length of the ridge in either direction reveals no sign of movement. The former partisan notes that the ridges on either side of the gorge extend to the crest of the hills the legionnaires have been following all day, about a kilometer or so distant – if one wanted to reach the tomb from the crest, Pyotr observes, one would have to descend along one of the two ridges to avoid the steep cliffs at the upper end of the gorge. Pamuk sees what Raffaele is pointing to, and nods, shoving the rifle shells into a pocket, and crouches down. With backs turned to the cemetery, neither Normand nor Marcel can see Raffaele’s wave, but the motion catches the [i]sergent[/i]’s eye, and he begins walking toward the Algerian’s position, as the captain watches from near the tomb itself. Raffaele turns his attention to the stone itself, and the ground beneath it. Observing carefully, he can find nothing that suggests a trap. Normand and Marcel step carefully into the ruins of the building, expecting at any moment to feel the ground slip away beneath their feet. Instead Marcel catches sight of something much more sinister – the sand moves near Normand’s boot as the big legionnaire takes a step, revealing the shape of [url=http://zoltantakacs.com/zt/im/scan/snakes/12684-120.jpg][color=yellow][b]a snake under the surface[/b][/color][/url].
