She slid down the side of the mountain, practically tackling me as she came slid down the final slope.
'How did you get here? I thought you were East or Northeast by now ... '
'I was. But ... it's a long story.'
'Well, anyways. I had a glorious climb here. These mountains are so much more fun to climb than Eagle's Peak or Trollweiss.'
'Figured you would finally find something of interest out here, but was there anything actually up there?'
'Ice, snow, rocks, fire breathing kebbits, blue moss, some sort of small tree with nuts, snowy birds. The usual.'
'Oh well ... wait ... blue moss? Sienna, did you grab some?'
'What is it with you and collecting stuff? You want me to just hand it off to you with something odd like: Take this, it may help you on your journey?'
'Eh ... thinking more like it might be useful for something. Or maybe something we could trade or sell later. I kind of would like to make a few coins out of this little trip.'
She giggled, 'Yes, I did grab some. Not sure what I would do with blue moss though ... '
She passed a handful of it to me, I figured I would 'examine' it later.
'So what now?'
'Hmm?'
She opened her journal and pointed to the map, 'Well, we're here ... ' pointing to the edge of the mountains where it met the river.
'Yeah. Everything south and west of us looks to have been covered at this point too. Even the hills to the east of us. '
'Northeast then?'
'Most of that forest looks like it has been covered, but I swear from the initial descriptions there was 'something' further northeast.'
'Shall we go check it out?'
'Sienna, I'd thought you would want to head back to the port by now? Or go rock climbing some more?'
'Nah. We're almost done here right? I mean, not too much left of the island to explore?'
'Looks like it. Probably a few caves or something we missed though.'
'Let someone else look for those. We've still got plenty more work to do ourselves. What's the best way to through the forest then?'
'Not sure.'
We poured over what little there was to the map routes so far, and then headed northeast.
