The stew is devoured post haste and you're all ready to move out, apparently nobody needs any more supplies so it's off to the mountains you go. Nobody bought a map so it gets a little tricky at times, but with a Druid in the group you'll no doubt find your way to the gigantic mountain range without too much fuss.

The foothills are pretty quiet as you exit the village, it takes several hours before the woodland greens would begin to part to the rocks of mountain foothills and even much of the mountains themselves were devoted to greenery at this time of year. By about two in the afternoon you get to a mesa about a quarter of the way up one of the mountains, from there you can see over the nearby range for a fair distance.

The range appears to be split down the middle by a deep ravine, on the other side you can see a military camp that's fairly sizable. Without a doubt it's the ones clearing out space for new mining expansions you had heard about before. In the sky you can see some kind of strange conical shaped creatures flying fairly high up, there's about ten of them ranging from ten to thirty feet long just floating in the direction the wind takes them.

Creatures in the sky:
[spoiler][/spoiler]

No beasties swiping at you just yet, only typical wildlife in the foothills and those things floating high above. You're barely a few hours out of town though, plenty more mountain to cover before you can expect to start feeling the comforting blanket of civilisation slip away from you and the foothills fade into the distance or out of sight. Where in the mountains would you travel, high? low? in search of caves? following clues or sounds or just randomly walking further and further from town. It would be up to you to decide where you ventured, and when to stop and rest.

(OOC: It's up to you to tell me what kind of places you're heading towards, it's up to you to roll skill checks if you think it's necessary, it's up to you to tell me if you stop and rest/sleep/eat or i'm likely to assume you haven't. Same for daily buffs or if you're flying, mentioning it in the charsheet section by editing your original post with the info is best.)

"It's... a sky whale?" Sir Osric asks, wondering if it is dangerous or not. "Ok, so who's in favor of going down the ravine? There's a camp in that direction, which we can get to if we run into too much trouble."

Aquinas stares up at the things, wondering if it's safe to scout from the air with those things there.

[spoiler]Gain psionic focus for Khas and psicrystal (take 10 on both concentration checks). He has 10 days worth of rations. He'll eat one per day, and I guess we'll decide how to arrange sleeping when the time comes. He'll travel with his armor on and melee weapon in hand, and stay adjacent to Glissara while traveling.[/spoiler]

Looking wide-eyed at the huge flying creatures, Hiekl pulls out a small tablet of unrecognizable material and begins making a series of furious gestures upon its glowing face (tapping, single finger caresses, and odd reverse pinching motions). He grumbles, obviously talking to himself but aloud, "What do you meanfile not found? Damnit just run the fricking ... C'mon c'mon!" After a few moments the outlander's chest takes on a rocky appearance followed by a strange, but quickly fading green glow all over his body. Both effects are then covered by an apparent glamor of Hiekl as a nondescript human wearing scale mail.

"So yeah, the ravine sounds good to me. Less chance of getting eaten by tentacled flying whales, proximity to an army, both good things."

OOC: Those with spellcraft recognize the arcane signatures of Heart of Earth, False Life, and Mage Armor, despite the method of casting being completely unorthodox.

Aquinas would recognise these creatures for what they were, mostly benign creatures called Wind Ghosts. Being a Druid he would also know they like to migrate now and then, so this is probably what is happening right now. Scouting from the sky should be find so long as you keep a good distance from them, they don't like to be startled and might confuse you for some kind of predator.

As for the ravine, which is around half a mile wide and ten miles long at least, it will take some time getting there down a slippery slope but you can go peer down the edge. As you do you would see it's a long way to the bottom, try dropping a stone and it'll be a while before you hear anything. In fact you would hear nothing but the sound of gushing water far below in an obscuring mist. At a guess it is about a mile deep and doesn't seem at all welcoming to strangers, there is no path, just a sheer jagged rock face.

So you're all standing/hovering/hopping/dancing by the edge of an incredibly large and deep ravine, a scar in the earth basically. It's about that time when Aquinas and Al-Kassir would hear a pained song coming from further into the mountain range. It sounds quite distant, and a little 'off' but it doesn't last for long before dying out. Then it starts again a few minutes later, the process repeats itself several times before finally taking a break. You may have all heard the sound by now if it was pointed out to you, between you it's fair to say it's coming from further along the ravine somewhere.

"Interesting. What we have here is something... of an I-don't-know-what. Really long and deep... carved by a river over what must have been millennia or so. Like a grand canyon, as it were. I might be able to fly across if I assumed the form of an Avariel or something, but that's not really helpful when about half the party is going to remain grounded. I don't suppose anyone sees a bridge or anything?"

"I'll fly over to scout that noise there. Those things up there are harmless, if you don't mess with them."

Without another word, Aquinas stepped off the edge, arms outstretched, and plummeted even as his clothing faded into the sea blue feathers of a man sized bird, gaining height as he clears the edge proper.

Aquinas:
[spoiler]About half an hours walk further ahead you see a cave on the edge of the ravine, it seems like if anything is the source of the noise you heard... it's probably there. You can't see anything else and there are precious few features on the land that could hide someone that was singing from a birds eye view. You notice some other things while you're in the sky too though, such as a few bears in seperate locations scattered around the mountain you're on. Nothing too perilous so close to civilisation, you would hope.[/spoiler]

"I think most of us can fly if we need to, through means of our own or with help. So if we need or want to cross this, we can. We need to decide if that's what we want to do first, though. Let's wait for Aquinas to get back from scouting, then decide. And while we're at it... maybe we shouldn't stand right next to the edge..."

To Glissara (telepathically from Khas' psicrystal): Mind giving me a Share Pain?

Glissara, who has been quietly thinking this entire time, focuses for a second, and nods. She does this a few more times, and then goes back to thinking. She then starts looking around, preparing for danger...

Quote
Share Pain x 2. One on Khas + his crystal, One on me + my crystal. Overchannel on both, take no damage as a result of the Talented feat, each one of these lasts for 8 hours. Total PP spent: 6. PP left: 43.

Then gain Psionic Focus, then focus the Psicrystal (take 10 on both for a result of  23).

Small note, I forgot that I needed to have ranks in concentration (I know, right?), so I just shifted them out of UPD.

Glissara's Psicrystal says to Khas: "There. That should hold you."

Khas says "Thanks." Then he looks awkward for a moment as he realizes he said it out loud instead of telepathically. He decides to make better use of his time standing around, and focuses his attention on trying to look for hidden dangers.

OOC: Spot 1d20 5=10 (and... he sucks. He looks attentive, though. :p )

Winging his way back, Aquinas landed, feathers fading back into his clothing.
"Whatever it was, looks like it came from a cave over there.", he points vaguely in it's direction, "Not much else around here, except a couple of bears. Didn't look in the cave yet though."

The cave doesn't get any closer, the ravine doesn't get any shallower and you don't get any deeper into the mountains.

(OOC: Just letting you know i've noticed what has happened =p nothing new to report except for maybe a bird in the sky, or a breeze picking up)

Al-Kassir, frustrated by the insipid wasting of time, starts making his way towards the cave.  He looks noticably annoyed...  He doesn't even say anything to anyone as he heads that way...

Ok, I guess we're headed toward the cave then... though I'm not really sure why. The thing we're after didn't sing that I heard of... Khas follows, staying close to Glissara.

He tries to keep a sharp eye out for trouble along the way.
