==I am Fine===

** Elibo and Lothar look to see why the bell sounded and soon learn that was a bad idea quickly, they both safely get back to base camp but is Lothar...hiding something?

LOG:

Nova's Hall- Spire: Bell Room -- >>----------------------------------------------------------------------<< A space has been carved out in the middle of the spire and gaps in the spire walls allow the sound of the bell to travel out and be heard by the beasts of the Hall below. The bell itself, suspended from a large wooden beam, is large and appears to be made out of a dark metal, almost black in colour. It's chime is deep and ominous.

Set: It was a quiet day that sought to lead into a quiet night, unbroken by the monotony of the hunt and the soft growls of the ruined denizens of this once great keep... But through the silent, eerie halls of the mountain fortress, a cacophany rang out. A metallic, crashing, boiling toll - it was a bell. The bell tower is easy to locate, but upon arrival... The tower appears empty.

Lothar frowns as he looked around "Ok..tis either the wind or..something was here"

Elbio quietly walks in and shrugs "I..don't know, we should get back to the others...I also don't like the way the bell sounded, it just sounded like..something bad would happen. Its also almost dark"

Lothar sighs "I just wish we could get all these things slain already, they seem to be doin' a good job of hiding, we killed wot..2 weasels tonight"

The two hares are not alone, on top of the bell is a fox, just as insane as the other vermin in this place. It was chewing on the rope of the bell, again it almost falls like before and makes the bell shake, it growls low.

Elbio frowns as his ears go flat and he quickly looks around "Is..It's the ghosts of all these dead insane beasts, the ghosts are coming to get us and we are all gonna die here!"

Lothar frowns and looks around, his ears also flat and he looks around and even up as he frowns, "Oh..wonderful..."

Elbio frowns "w...w..what is wonderful? Dieing would not bally well be wonderful."

The fox goes to try and lunge at them and its footpaw is tangled in the rope, it howls and seems to scream and claws and bites at the rope, which causes the bell to swing and just make more sound and that beam is a little..ummm weak. So fox and bell fall!

Lothar gasps and shoves the younger hare towards the steps as he also goes to run out of the way, the bell makes a long bong sound and barely misses the hare by inches.

Elbio eyes widen as he tumbles to the steps and frowns "Well..umm..I am ok and, guess the bell wont ring again but..where is the fox?"

Where is the fox indeed, its alive! If you call what is up with these things alive. some fur is off its tail tip and it seems to blame Lothar as it lunches at him snarling!

Lothar gasps and sees it almost too late as he makes sure he is in front of Elbio and uses his pick Ax and swings at the beast, they were told to never leave camp without a pick ax or some sort of weapon.

Elbio gasps and backs up a little, he forgot his and the one kill he made was with a old blade, that broke, the only luck is not too far from base camp. He does have his longbow as he gets an arrow, but he doesn't want to hurt anyone else, or miss the fox..maybe they should just run.

The fox gets his left arm chopped off, it growls more and goes to knock Lothar down if it can

Lothar backs up and swings again and loses his balance on the first step going down and frowns, he speaks to Elbio "When I say run..just run"

Elbio nods quickly "Run..right, running is good exercise after all"

The fox looks between them and snorts, then snarls as it foams and swipes a claw at them and tries to pounce them again.

Lothar kicks the fox in the jaw and then "RUN!" he says and makes sure they are heading down the steps and then out back into the large open space hats before camp.

Elbio doesn't think why, he just bolts, and seems glad they are in the open so they can run faster.

The fox is close and catching up quickly.

Lothar tenses up, the darn ankle hurts when he steps the wrong way, the sprang is still healing, this slows him down making it easy for the fox to catch up.

Elbio looks behind him and stops, "Lothar..come on Lothar go faster" He frowns and aims the arrow at the fox, if he gets a clear shot he can shot the fox, he knows he has rare chances to fire off arrows. This is one of those rare times he could use his longbow.

The fox growls and lunges at the hare, aiming to try and bite his throat!

Lothar manages to side step the fox, he frowns in pain..stupid ankle hurts, he frowns and almost stumbles, he looks to see where Elbio is and speaks "Shoot it, shoot it kid!" Ok back to trying to run or least dodge

Elbio frowns, but what if he hits Lothar, he watches and frowns, he needs an opening and then one opens and he releases the arrow to fly straight and true.

The fox snarls and circles Lothar and then lunges at him again, just as the arrow hits it in the back, it howls and backs off, preparing again to lunge.

Lothar backs off and swings the pick ax at the fox, he frowns this is not a good thing.

Elbio frowns and gets another arrow, then fires this one as well.

The fox somehow manages to disarm Lothar of his pick ax and goes to bite down on his arm, the arrow then hits the fox in the neck as it gurgles and stumbles back, falling sideways......dead.

Lothar eyes widen, then pain just above his elbow as he gasps and backs off holding his arm. He looks down at the dead fox and frowns, he then goes to run towards Elbio "Base..now..come on."

Elbio nods, he frowns "Did it...are you ok Lothar? The fox is dead right?" They will get to base and relax a little.

Lothar says, "Its dead.." He says softly as he looks for some bandages they found earlier, "I am fine.."He seems in a little pain."

Elbio says, "Your...hurt.."He sounds worried "Your..hurt..."

Lothar answers "My ankle hurts a lot" Its not a lie it does hurt, but that's not all that hurts."Just get some sleep, we still have some of those things to fight yet"

Elbio nods and decides to get some rest"Ok..goodnight"

Lothar smiles "Goodnight kid.."He walks to his own tent, made of a sheet they found and steps inside, he tenses up and pushes his sleeve up and frowns, its not too swollen, just hurts as he pours water on it and bandages it, it oddly didn't leak too much blood but..its a bite, and he keeps it a secret, he tells no one.

Just some info..yeah a bite is BAD...also its possible a claw mark is bad, but that is a lot more rare..a bite is ALWAYS BAD...and keeping it a secret EVEN WORSE.

===Whoa Its A Library==

Who:
Lothar, Elibo and  a cameo of Yerna.

Where:
A library...No Role Play Prompt it was just cool and I got lost.....and Lothar connect so we decided to role play being a little lost and was in the library..Yerna helped Elibo and Lothar back to base camp..here's the log!

LOG:

Nova's Hall- Nova's Library -- >>----------------------------------------------------------------------<< A high ceilinged room opens out before you wide and tall, wooden book cases line the walls from top to bottom, so tall that ladders have to be used to reach the top. Books, rows and rows, masses and masses of books sit on the shelves in all shapes, sizes and bindings, a long track in the floor a meter or so from the shelves allows for the ladders to be moved around. Small tables are dotted about the room each with a few chairs sat about them and some with the occasional beast.

------------------------------------

Elbio pants as he dashes into the library and looks around quickly, he relaxes a little but is also worried, where was anyone else.

Lothar somehow manages to find Elbio and frowns "Ok...my ankle is hurting again, running is clearly bad fer it."He hmms "This is a library....impressive"

Elbio frowns"You ok and..yeah... think Yerna is ok? I mean no other badgers at least or anything nearly that large...still the group of 5 rats was...a bit bad seeing as one was missing an arm."He frowns "Its a library, maybe there is like a map..I mean we got lost running "

Lothar nods as he sighs "I am starting to hate this place, I seriously am..ok block the door we need to rest"

Elbio nods as he does so with a table and frowns as he looks around "I mean...we did find some useful things..I found arrows for my bow, I mean these..insane creatures don't need them right"He hmmms as he blows dust off a book and coughs "Look..a book on plants and stuff like what heals you and what can hurt ya"

Lothar frowns "That will only be useful if we get out of this alive kid..sort of stuck and not killed too many of them yet"

Elbio says, "We won't..die"He hopes they will not anyways "And we have killed like....ummm....2 foxes...that badger, and think 4 rats....oh and a weasel.""

Lothar says, "Hope your right and lets hope thar is no more large creatures down here, that was the only woodlander all others are vermin species""

Elbio nods as he looks at the book and says "I am gonna keep the book, I want to learn some healing skills..I mean we don't really have a healer with us, do we?"

Lothar smiles and frowns at a noise, "I think they know basic healing but good for you on wanting ta know more I say go for it, we did say we look for some useful things..though dislike the getting lost issue."

Elbio smiles, but frowns "Yeah getting lost is..is bad but we can backtrack right? I don't know I was more concern with the fox than a path to base camp"

Lothar nods as he gets his pickax when a noise is heard again, "We may have company"

Elbio frowns "I don't want company...company here is bad"He stuffs the healing plants book in a bag, along with a book on plants and flowers to avoid and those to aid a beast.

Lothar nods and gets ready to attack the creature , he hides behind the shelf, spins around and almost falls backwards, the pick axe stuck in a chair, he yanks it out and frowns at the hare maid "You almost gave me a heart attack!"

Yerna frowns "Yeah and you almost stabbed me...come on back ta camp."Well least she knows the way back to base camp.

Elbio smiles, a friendly face as he follows "I found arrows for my long bow, like two dozen arrows, and I found a couple books I am keeping, also found this shiny rock, its interesting"

Lothar chuckles at Elbio "We also found some throwing knifes..well a couple"Which he seems glad of . He mainly gets a nod as they walk.

Elbio smiles "Also found a couple blankets...hey nice ta lay on besides the ground and they were in a chest..that I sort of broke..open..."

Lothar walks along and frowns. He frowns when a rat sort of jumps at them, said rat gets a knife to the neck and is dead, he sighs, well one knife at least."Come on..."

Elbio frowns "I want to go..but also know we need to finish killing things so the bats will be safe...are we gonna let the bats know when these...insane beats are all dead.?"

The 3 hares are quiet the rest of the way to base camp and are treated to some wild carrot and radish soup, and of course a few mushrooms. It seems if you look enough in a garden area, you may get lucky and find a vegetable or two growing, if your lucky...seems they were a little lucky, but there is still A LOT of those creatures to kill, but the trip was not a total lost, yes they got a little lost...who wouldn't down in this maze of tunnels and rooms, but they found a couple useful items.

=Run Why Run..Part 2=

Lothar and Elbio run into Adrian trying to escape the hare eatting badger!!!

LOG:
It was a fairly good day, just checking to see if they could get any more eels, it didn't go as planed and now they are running, its like one beast so..why run? That is likely to become clear very soon!Its large and NOT a vermin species, its in fact the only woodlander here...well that's not like bones anyways.

Elbio exclaims, "I didn't mean to anger it! I thought the arrow would like kill it!"

Lothar frowns as he braves a look back and frowns"Well it's clearly still moving and making all the noise is...wait"He goes to grab the younger hare and moves to the side as he frowns. maybe it will pass, but the two are still a fair distance from the safe camp"Ok...ideas?"

Adrian can hear the commotion long before he can see anything, the sounds echoing about the immense chamber. He frowns. The other two hares must have found trouble...

Elbio frowns and he eeps, and that only causes the large creature to charge and come to a sort of stop, foaming and sniffing around. Its not seeing too well at all, mostly blind and very ticked off from being in the dark so long. Some old chains on its arms and legs..its a badger and nope not a friendly one..it wants hare for dinner..its like the other beasts too that's down here.

Lothar frowns, "Ok....we get back slowly and carefully...that is not a beast you want as an enemy...they are dangerous in a fight when in their right mind and that one is insane"He frowns "And in possible bloodwrath....not good"

Adrian frowns again. Lothar and Elbio have been gone too long... He debates going to check on them, or waiting at the camp...

Elbio nods as he starts to edge away and steps on a bone and gasps...it makes a creaking noise as he whimpers.

The badger turns to the sound and snarls going to charge the hares now, it's chains rattle and drag along the ground.

Lothar eyes widen as he flicks the dagger, he just got back a day ago, at the badger and grabs for the other hares paw"RUN!" He knows its not too wise to fight, yes it needs killed but there has to be a better way to do it.

Adrian hmmphs, and shakes his head. "Monty, stay here and watch th' camp... 'M gonna go see if I c'n find out wot the bloody 'eck is keepin' 'em..."

Elbio screams and barely misses getting slammed into and shivers "But But...she said kill them all...we gotta..what if it can climb and eats us in our sleep?"

The badger slams into the cave wall and snorts, blood drips down its forehead and angers it more as it charges, the dagger hits its shoulder and he already has an arrow in its chest as it growls and gives chase to the two hares, trying to snap at the closest one.

Lothar chuckles a little and frowns, great still coming as he thinks quickly "I don't know...strangle it with its own chains somehow..trap it....I have no clue let me think, let me blooming think kid"

Adrian keeps hearing the commotion echo about the vast chamber, and he draws his rapier, keeping to the shadows to avoid other rabid beasts as he follows the echoing sounds to their source.

Elbio comes running and almost into Adrian as he gaps and frowns"Its..Its trying to eat us, it wants us dead and I am too young to die"

The so called hare eating badger appears and foaming as it snarls and looks ready to pounce at them again, a growl as it seems to sense a new hare and charges towards Elbio and Adrain!

Lothar pants and frowns as he sees where it is and runs, blade out and slices at the badger's back, also jumping back to avoid any attacks right back.

Adrian grabs Elbio. "Oy, mate, calm down!" He shakes the other hare, until the badger lunges at them. Seeing it coming, the corporal drags Elbio into a small niche in the wall, and he holds up a finger for silence. "Shhh... I think 'e's blind..."

Elbio hmmphs as he is pulled to the niche and nods quietly. He frowns,"But...."He whispers.

The badger claws at the two hares, barely missing and then the blade slices across his back as he yowls and spins around to growl at Lothar, he throws out an arm and claws to slam into the hare, if he connects that is.

Lothar sidesteps and misses the claws, which is good but the arm hits him and sends him back a few feet and onto the floor as he groans and blinks a few times, ok no claw marks and no teeth..good, he frowns at the badger and stands, he takes a deep breath and goes to slice at its chest and sidesteps again, but goes to try and also trip it with one of those chains if he is able, all the while doing his best to avoid claws and teeth.

Adrian listens carefully to the sounds of fighting. "Where in th' world did y' find 'im?" he whispers, while trying to formulate a plan. A badger is a formidable opponent, after all.

Elbio frowns "By the lake..I was gonna get more eels and it was..was thar..s..sur"He frowns and dares to peek out and frowns more leaning back "We have to kill it...we gonna help Lothar"

The badger is busy fighting Lothar, it howls in pain as another wound is on it's chest and blood drips. It snorts and just seems even more peeved off at the world as it snarls and foams more and lunges at Lothar only to trip onto the chains and fall onto his face, but it slowly gets back up and growls.

Lothar pants and frowns as he lets go of the chain and grips his blade, he frowns as he looks around no knowing where Elbio went and sighs. He looks to see where the badger is and tries to move along the wall, looking for anything that might work.

"Of course we are... If I could get Lothar ovah here I might could come up wi' a bettah plan, wot!" Adrian sighs, grips the handle of his rapier, and readies himself. "I really don't know 'ow smaht jus' goin' in like this is, but I don't see much choice... One the count o' three, we're gonna rush 'im from behind... Ready? One... Two..."

Elbio frowns but nods as he at least has a small blade he found, it could work and if needed his longbow...maybe.

The badger snorts and sniffs around, it listens and growls towards the the hares .

Lothar frowns as he hmmms, he looks at the walls, "A old..mine"He looks around for anything, he tilts his head..an idea maybe as some of this area is maybe unsteady, maybe some old support beam and get the badger under it?
Jul 3, 2019 at midnight

"THREE!" Adrian lunges out of the niche, his blade held high, and attempts to stab the badger square in the back!

Elbio takes a deep breath and runs out, going to slice at the badger as well!

The badger snorts and growls at the sudden noise and spins around to get a stab to his mid section and a slice to his leg, he backs off and snarls at them, again aiming to slam them into a wall with his arm.

Lothar gasps and steps back as the others arrive to also attack the badger, he takes a deep breath and gets his pick ax and goes to sneak up behind it and slam it into his side! Then quickly move backwards, kicking a rock to make some noise.

Adrian ducks quickly, just barely missing getting slammed into the wall. "C'mon!"

Elbio sidesteps and frowns as he shivers but again goes to slam at the badger's legs with the pick ax and do his best to stay clear of it.

The badger snorts, again he is wounded and stumbles backwards, he snorts and turns to where Lothar is and snarls as he stands and falls..well his leg is no good now and he pours blood from his back and chest.

Lothar frowns and moves into a sort of old shaft, he looks at the support and fronts, he kicks it a little and some rocks fall as he gulps and backs away, he frowns, it could work if it gets at least mostly under it "HEY!!" He yells and flicks his last dagger at the badger's arm! Hopeing it hits it. Yeah get it this way.

Adrian catches on quickly to what Lothar is aiming for, so he picks up a rock and tosses it that direction. "Elbio, 'elp me 'erd th' beast toward Lothar!"

Elbio frowns, he nods as he gets a rock and tosses it and backs up a little, but he is ready to fight if it turns around still.

The badger gets the dagger in it's arm and snorts as he manages to lunge a few feet at Lothar snarling and growling, aiming to claw at the hare.

Lothar waits and sidesteps, a claw barely misses him as he grips a blade, his main one and stabs the badger in the side as it passes and runs slightly near that beam,"Ya ungly thing..get me.."Let it charge, let it charge as he looks to the side, ok he can dive and get out of the way, he hopes.

Adrian holds still, quiet as possible, waiting to see what happens.

Elbio manages to hold back a whimper, and watches the badger closely, weapon ready.

The badger snarls and foams more, it snorts and gets up and charges right towards the hare aiming to snap at it, to kill the hare if it gets a hold of it.

Lothar stays calm and tenses up, he waits till almost last moment and dives to the side and rolls, just about slamming into the side of the opening to the small cavern. He avoided any teeth and claw, he pants and gulps a little.

There's a rumble, and the ceiling above shifts, dust raining down, but Adrian holds his ground to see if the cave-in will bury or trap the crazed badger.

The badger indeed slams into that support beam and snarls in rage, and there is a very distributing noise and rock,dirt and some stuff of that small shaft start to tumble down onto the badger who only snarls and growls more as dust and dirt fly everywhere, the dirt clears and the badger is mostly covered except for a paw and his head, but he is barely breathing and barely alive, as the growls lower into a sort of weak growl. It tries to move and fails .

Elbio whimpers as he watches and edges forwards, backing up but gulping and then a deep breath and goes to slam the pick ax he has at the badger's head, he is taking no chances and coughs "W..where is..Lothar"

Adrian grimaces, and walks over to the downed badger. "Poor beast..." He perks, and looks around. "Lothar? Where are you?"

Lothar managed to avoid the cave in, avoid the badger wounding him but he coughs and is covered in dirt, his leg has a couple rocks on it as he manages to move a coupe and pull his leg out and scoots back as he frowns "Is it..is it dead?"

Elbio looks at the badger, yep the badger is dead. He grips the pick ax and shivers looking around and walks towards Lothar.."Y..you ok?Is there any more of those, please say no"

Adrian sighs. "Aye, it's dead... Can ya walk? Is yahr leg broken?"

Lothar frowns and goes to slowly stand and tenses up, almost falling, he keeps his balance and frowns, clearly limping "Ankle..hurts but don't think it's broken..might need a splint, we need to get..get back to camp"He looks at the cave in and the badger and smiles a little "Didn't know if that would work or not...could of back fired and got me too..didn't though"

Elbio smiles, he is glad he is ok , he looks around now a bit edgy "Yeah..back to base camp..is is good and you could of died and then we would of"He frowns ,he not sure he would of. "Never do that again....you could of died."

Adrian offers to assist Lothar with standing. "You lot jus' be glad I decided ta see why you were gone longah than necessary..."

Lothar nods and accepts the help, "It was good...good idea"Its clear his ankle hurts."Ok lets get back before anyone worries"

Elbio nods, its not too far back up some steps and across the large room and to the base camp, lucky nothing else is around right now as may take a little more time to climb up if they are needing to help Lothar.

Adrian will attend to Lothar's ankle once they get back to the camp, bandaging it with a splint. "Be careful with walking for the next few days..."

Lothar nods and it is a rather slow walk but they make it and tell the others what happen, and likely rest a couple days.

Elbio makes sure nothing follows them and is starting to get a bit better at climbing, at fighting..he is learning and that's good. It does take him a little while to fall asleep but he does shortly after they get back

A sort of Part one Log...a Cliffhanger me and Lothar did! Posted on the Tenderfoot Logs  ....Lets just say some beasts you dont want to shoot with an arrow

Well you did say you didn't need to GM the role play promts for Tenderfoot, we just read them, role play them and post a log ..though I will place the promt and room where it is on top of the log

I so far like the plot

*Let's Gather Some Eels-Tenderfoot Log*

NH: Lower Levels- Lake >>----------------------------------------------------------------------<<
-- NH: Lower Levels- Lake -- >>----------------------------------------------------------------------<< You step off the last slime covered step and exit the stairwell leading back up into the mountain and the spire far ahead. Before you a short stony ledge is the only firm ground to stand on, it juts out over the dark underground lake which laps at the cliffs three hundred yards below. The lake stretches out into darkness, its far side hidden from sight, a soft phosporescent fungi clings to the walls and ceiling, and large beds of glowing algae drift about on the surface of the lake. The Surface however is not still, it is constantly ripling and moving as a vast multitude of bodies break the surface, eels beyond counting fill the lake dark, slimy silent guardians of the water way. >>----------------------------------------------------------------------<<

Prompt: Yerna has encouraged the hares to travel down to the underground lake in search of some tasty eels - but she's warned them to beware of anything else that could be hunting in the phosphorescent glow of the cave's fungi.

=THE ROLEPLAY:

Lothar and Elbio

Lothar knew they needed food, and eels were something different than mushrooms and insects, and sometimes there was fruit and eel was sort of like fish so he grabbed whomever was there and off he went carefully and slowly. Axe on his side and he braved the chance to get at least one of his daggers back"Ok kid stay close, this place is dangerous, we get some food...hopefully and head back."

Elbio nods as he stayed close, "Yeah....are eels good?" He was curious and lately learned to be alert."You don't think those...things like eels..do ya?"

Lothar sighs "I don't know...don't care I just want something different than..mushrooms and insects, that's like mostly what the bats had...sure of tired of it ya know so the sooner we get out of here, the better"

Elbio looks around and smiles "I like the glow, its colorful...so how do we get the eels?" He looks and blinks "There..is a lot of eels"

Lothar hmms and thinks, every so often looking at the way they came and towards another area deeper away "I have a bad feeling about that direction, for now stay with me its..its a bit dark that way and I don't want to get lost down here." He looks in his backpack and hmms, he grins as he finds a spear, its broken but not on the pointy end , and a rope tied to it as he grins "Watch and learn kid" He uses the rope to keep the spear from not getting lost, finding a good rock that seems to hold it fairly good and tosses the spear at the eels.

Elbio watches closely, but also checks the way they came in "And wot if umm....things come and bite us and...then wot?"

The spear hits 2 eels as Lothar grins and pulls it onto land and sets aside the eels "Then we run and hope for the best"He throws the spear again but misses, he cusses loudly and then goes to try again.

Elbio frowns " Yerna said something else is down here....we shouldn't shout"

Lothar rolls his eyes "I missed, I dislike missing and it's ok...I mean we can kill the things if they come around us." He takes a deep breath and tries again at the spearing some eel and throws it, he blinks and catches a large one clearly and eeps "Kid little help!"

Elbio frowns and goes to help pull the eel in and keeps focus as he does so..

They finally get the eel to shore and now have a good size eel, and two small eels for food.

Lothar pants and chuckles "That was exciting...ok lets try for some other smaller ones, you wanna try?" He shows him how to throw it.

Elbio nods and seems eager to try and learn, he misses the first time...the 2nd time and the third try he gets one and grin "Look Lothar I got it"s

Lothar chuckles and looks around, he frowns a little towards the mines as there is some sort of sound "Ok Elbio...quiet."

Elbio nods as he tries a couple more times and misses, he sighs but hey he caught one though"We have enough think?"

Lothar shrugs and then frowns "Down kid!" He swings the ax at a very snarling rat!

Elbio barely misses get his head bite, he shivers and scoots back, gulps and frowns.

Lothar jumps back and then slams the ax into the rat's head, it's dead as he frowns "Yeah..enough lets go now before others come"

Elbio gulps "It almost bite me..I could of died or ended up like..yeah lets go"

the total of eels..3 small ones and one large one, it will be enough to go around for now as they can always come back later.

Lothar makes sure Elbio stays close as they both get up the stairs and quickly back to the base camp, lucky there was only one as he pants after climbing

Elbio is better at climbing now, so that's a plus and could be needed later as he grins "Well one less..thing alive out there right?"

Lothar nods as he looks up to see the others and smiles "Lunch is served...we do have a way to cook them, right?" Right...well they will eat eel either way it seems.

Elbio asks, "I wonder if eel is good, she said it is and we can take the other for more tomorrow maybe? Or the day after"

Lothar shrugs"We can figure it out later, not like we are heading outta here anytime soon."

Elbio pouts and just sits there, he sighs and lays down at least its safe up here at base camp, down there below the camp is another story.
