In Search of Grandpa
June 6th, 2003Seventh Gaming Session
June 18th ADH 6 pmTwo large and two small lizard types are spotted travelling northerly
on road through ruined city. They do not spot the party.
The party climbs the ridge to the west of the ruins to be able to see
the lay of the land. It takes them the remainder of the day. From the ridge
they get a good view of the valley below. In the distance they can
see that there are small groups of "troops" heading northward. Probably more
of the lizard creatures. The withdraw to the base of cliffs which rise from
the shoulder of the talis slope they are on in order to camp in some shelter
from site and wind.
During the night there are noises from above on the cliff and in the
dead of night comes a crashing. A boulder crashes down, dislodged by the
change in temperature from night to day. It crushes two basrrels and destroys
one packframe.
June 19th ADH
Starting at 6am the Party heads southly along the direction the ridge
would extend towards some darker earth. The bottom of the "valley" appears
mottled with lighter and darker areas. Upon reaching one of the darker areas
it is determined that the darker areas are dark by virtue of a form of lichen
growing on slightly firmer earth in those areas. They return to the ridge
and work their way back northward along the east side of the mountain ridge
along an outcropping starting around 10am. The find some diggings around
the base around 11:30am but nothing comes of the investigation of them. They
continue northerly 'til siesta at 4pm. Around 4:40pm a column of lizard creatures
pass on the road in the distance. This is a fairly substantial column with
outriders. It passes without noticing the party who are trying to be inconspicuous.
The party follows the outcrop to where it meets up with the badlands
and the follow the badlands into the general direction of where the trail
exits them and make camp. The camp though is well enough away from the narrow
pass where the trail exits and secure in a box canyon
