Searching for Monks (04/20/2007)

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

Eventually their ascent neared the top---the began to hear chanting pouring over the rock face above them. As they climbed higher the mists began to dissipate and they could once again see where they were going. The chanting grew louder –they were getting close now. As the reached the top of the stone steps -there in front of them stood a large stone temple with torchlight emanating from its entrance way. The Pineappleman motioned silently to Kandu ---The quickly ran across the open space that lay between the steps and the temple stopping at the sides of the entrance way. Kandu gestured to the Pineappleman pointing toward the side of the temple. Ignoring the main entrance they quickly made their way over to a line of trees before stopping. Once hidden in the tree line the Pineappleman asked Kandu "What is it you see?"

Pointing to the hill that lay to the side of the temple beyond the trees Kandu replied "Why use the front door ---when there is a service entrance."
