#1600 Rocky Hills~ You stumble as you walk over the loose stones. The path you are traveling is long and winding. It seems like it could stretch on forever. You gaze into the misty sky and note a mountain in the far distance. It's magestic peak pierces the sky like a needle through woven cloth. ~ 16 0 0 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 1601 S #1601 A Well Worn Path~ The ground beneath you is strewn with black pebbles, worn with trodding. Young weeds sprout out of the ground at the side of the path, bringing the only sign of life in this desolate place... ~ 16 0 5 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 1602 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 1600 S #1602 A Well Worn Path~ The ground beneath you is strewn with black pebbles, worn with trodding.

To the north, the giant peak looms skyward in its own majestic glory. ~ 16 0 5 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 1603 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 1607 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 1601 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 1612 S #1603 A Well Worn Path~ The ground beneath you is strewn with black pebbles, worn with trodding.

To the west, rocky hillocks roll gradually over the expanse as far as your eyes can see. To the north, the giant peak looms skyward in its own majestic glory. An old wooden sign stands on the side of the path, too worn to read. The place is desolate. ~ 16 0 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 1604 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 1602 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 1609 S #1604 A Well Worn Path~ The path suddenly changes from its calm, level, track to a somewhat steep incline up a small but steep hill.

The air hangs musty in the think mists that shrouds you like a thick blanket. Through the mists, odd forms jut from the earth. Perhaps rocks? Dead tree stumps? Somehow you know that you shouldn't look. They stand south of you like watchers in the mist, awaiting your arrival. ~ 16 0 5 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 1606 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 1604 S #1606 In the Mists~ Stepping into the mists causes the world to spin around you. Large rocks jut from the eart, casting long shadows along the ground creating the feeling of dread. The large circle of monolithic stones looks as if it was used for an ancient ritual, long since past. Strange runes are enscribed into the very body of the huge rocks. Just the site of this odd scene brings fear into your mind. ~ 16 0 5 D0 ~ ~ 0 0 1605 S #1607 A Well Worn Path~ The ground beneath you is strewn with black pebbles, worn with trodding. A boulder juts up from the earth, ending the path abruptly. It's surface is worn with erosion giving away the fact that is has been there for many a decade. You stare towards the west and not that rocky hillocks roll gradually over the expanse as far as your eye can see. To the north, the giant peak looms skyward in its own majestic glory. ~ 16 0 5 D3 ~ ~ 0 0 1602 S #1608 A Well Worn Path~ Trudging onward, the path continues it's upward ascent. It's stones turning from the black pebbles to a gravelly red color. An occasional shrub, black from a wild fire, dots the earth along the small road you travel, bringing the thought to your mind that anything could happen... ~ 16 0 5 D1 ~ ~ 0 0 1628 D2 ~ ~ 0 0 1604 S #1609 A Well Worn Path~ The rocks grind beneath your steps, sending a sharp &YCRUNCH &Wthrough the air.

You can see the large mountain to the northwest, jutting up from the earth and displaying its majesty and power. Far to the west you can see many small rolling hills. Passed those hills, a large crevasse opens up in the crust of the earth, it's interior dark and ominous. You draw your attention from the distant areas and gaze in fright upon the area you stand in. Broken tents dot the mountain top, large pools of blood with huge footprints to account for the destructor. Broken armor an swords lay strewn about the peak...
