Searching for Monks (03/31/2007)

From the writing of Nalla Mann --Bartender of the Bloody Nall Tavern

They made their way one at a time across a narrow stretch of trail with a wall of granite to one side and a thousand foot drop into the river below on the other. Once past this treacherous section the path widened again and turned back inland. The path then lead into the trees as the sun was starting to set. Beyond the trees stood a another wall of rock that disappeared into the mist where the Monks temple was surely to be found.

The Pineappleman motioned to Kandu—"That is where we are headed—about another thousand feet up and we should be at the Temple of the Monks".

Kandu –replied" Then maybe we should camp here tonight and make our ascension in the morning when it is light. ---the sky turns to darkness as we speak."

"We don't camp—Tell the men to get something to eat and a short rest –but I feel that we need to get to the Temple tonight. I will go ahead and scout what lay ahead."

Kandu placed his hand on the Pineappleman's shoulder. "You rest I'll scout ahead."
