OOC: Dang, finally got on enworld. I actually tried to post yesterday evening, but somehow it got dropped. Then this morning en wouldn't even load. Sorry, the original post was longer and more entertaining, but I'm out of energy.
The trail continues upward toward the rock outcrop that marks the cave higher up on the mountain. Nearly a full day's hike brings the group to within a mile of the rock. The group naturally comes to a stop, Roderic and Grok are particularly ill at ease in the area, and the diabolical part of Jacobee's mind is more wary than normal.
Ooc: If there is anything else the characters want to do (like rest) before approaching the cave, now's the time.
