The next morning doesn't seem to come early enough for the four eager young heroes and sometime before the morning cock has even begun to crow, they find themselves heading off in order to seek their fame, fortune, and glory - not to mention even their potential destinies - within the ancient and mysterious structure known by locals as the Whispering Cairn'¦ Earthday the 13th, the Month of Readying, CY 595
Early Morning Just Before & After the Crack of Dawn
Gathered Back Together at the Abandoned Mine Office
The early hours are cold and brisk as our heroes begin to head towards the Whispering Cairn. Scant moments into their journey, a light rainshower begins to fall down upon their still-weary heads. The sky is dark and cloudy, and the morning sun seems to be all but apparent in the sky as the overly-determined party trudges onwards towards the abandoned mining office to set up camp.
Once having finally reached the office, the four heroes soon learn that it is no longer vacant! Two young half-elves, a brother and sister it would seem, have likewise taken up refuge within the tattered remains of a building and have apparently set their minds upon the task of exploring the Whispering Cairn as well. Through much conversation and diplomacy, much to the grumbling complaints of Kalen and Marak one might add, the two parties eventually resolve their conflicts and agree to explore the Cairn together!
