You reach the foothills of the High Barrier just as the sun slips below
the horizon. Both you and Shila agree to sleep before you proceed
any further. As you settle under your protective blanket, you find
that you cannot sleep.
You have a decision to reach- there are two ways to get to the
other side of the mountain. One would be to climb it. You are fairly
certain that, with both your curative abilities and Shila's combined,
you can survive the otherwise fatal journey.
The other alternative is to go through the Trayant Pass - a cave that
might be your final destination. Neither way sounds attractive, but
you must choose....
