Vasana leads the way up the wide sloping ramp on Molon, while the others follow behind on foot, into the heart of the hilltop ruin. Once past the ramp, it is clear that all the buildings are half crumbled, half exposed to the sky and rubble chokes every narrow road and wrecked chamber, making it hard for Molon to navigate beyond the ramp, forcing Vasana to dismount.
The architecture is unlike anything you are familiar with, the shapes of the walls and organization of streets give you the disquieting sense of being built by something other than human. Dotting the area and spaced evenly along the ramp into the ruin are intact versions of the stone menhirs, depicting the heavy woman with exaggerated curves, bands of jewellery or something else encircling her head entirely. The stonework is relatively crude, well in keeping with the menhirs depicting the Stone Woman; hewn stones fitted tightly together, with little space between them, but no mortar. Other walls are much older, rough earthworks with exposed layers of gravel and stone.
Among the rubble are skulls of cattle, bison, horses, rams, antelope, sable deers and even impala litter the place, some on the ground, other embedded into the earthy walls.

Please give me a track or listen roll, as you try to see where the cattle are.Sep 17, 2024 8:16 pm
[ +- ] Nathem
Meanwhile, Nathem approaches the eastern wall and cautiously looking over he sees the crumbled ruins (as above). The corpse of the Greydog Nathem shot lies among the stones, the arrow piercing straight into the brain. Looking across the ruins, he sees no sign of anyone else moving.
Nathem also notices on the wall, at eye height, are inscriptions, pictures and runes in Old Theyalan.
Although he recognises it, he cannot read it and nor can any of his comrades. He might be able to make out some of the story though, with carful examination.

[ +- ] Nathem
Nathem silently crested the wall, descending on the dead grey dog and pulling him back to the wall. The hunter moved to fashion a stand for the fallen man.
OOC:
Rough idea of the plan. Make a stand for the grey dog. Light the corpse on fire, move a small distance away in cover and call out to the remaining grey dogs.Last edited September 18, 2024 1:05 pm

Vasana smacks Molon on the flank lightly to send him out of the way and then stops and listens for sounds of anyone or anything nearby.

Vasana hears the cattle, their noises are coming from the area adjacent to the central tower.

It'll take a few minutes, but that's doable.

To the others, she quietly says, "The cattle are here, near the tower in the middle."

Vishi strains to listen for the cattle but hears nothing but the wind whistling through the ruins.

"We sneak inside, and circle around until we get to the cattle -- we need to make sure these are the right ones -- then we find the miscreants and make sure in no uncertain terms that they allow us to leave unmolested."

On the other side of the area, near the wall where Nathem was scouting, a plume of smoke begins to rise above the ruins.

The healer folls along behind, conscious of his vow not to inflict undue harm on another living creature but keenly aware of the danger his friends might find themselves in. Fearing the worst, he quietly begins to mutter a song to the goddess Chalana Arroy in anticipation of needed healing.

Vasana and Dazarim begin to step through the rubble, with Makarios and Vishi Dunn right behind, toward the centre of the ruins and the broken tower.
