(IC) 1: The Clifftop Keep
It had taken a while but finally the little company was ready to go. Sand had his pack and added a belt to is normally almost bared body, his cloak covering the rest. Using Aisling and Scamp, the group had a good scout team and nothing truly dangerous came up their way for the first leg of the journey, save the constants bugs, heat and humidity, none of it bothering the construct, that had no blood to feast on and no sweat glands.
What did bother him was the lack of progress with his cart he had built for Clacker. Thorin had been right, the terrain was too harsh to have any kind of wheeled vehicle out here, but he had his magic. Andraste suggested to try to level the terrain has much as possible and that helped a lot, covering loose roots, filling holes, freezing water holes so the wheels would not fall into them, creating as smooth a path as he could.
Sand, spent a lot of his attention on the ground, casting his earth magic repetitively, depended on Clacker's senses to keep attentive to his environment. He was still frustrated that his initial idea had basically been a failure, so he started to conceptualize another type of cart, that would use legs to navigate the terrain, not wheels. He had made it possible with Clacker, the same basic concept could certainly be used again!
By the end of the first day, Scamp told him that he had found a shelter, and the group arrived at some massive ruins, a temple of some sort. Could this be the hunters base of operation?
