Gabbro proceeds with the others, but detours around the low, ruined walls at 6 to keep some cover between him and the cave mouth 60' above them in the northern canyon wall.
Someone with a sling or a bow up there would be able to hit pretty much anything in this canyon... His one consolation is that it's a steep climb to that cave, meaning it'd be tough for attackers to get down as well as for the party to climb up. Even the 20' cave opening to the south is above a steep slope...
As they traverse the middle of the canyon (crossing the fold from the right hand map to the left), Gabbro looks at what's ahead.
- What can they see at the end of the canyon (C on the left map)?
- What is the condition of the ruin they are approaching (at A and 3 on the left map)?
- Is the switchback path (at B on the left map) connecting the two cave mouths to the south overgrown, or is it clear?
(edited to make the three questions more clearly distinct)
