Salamandastron: Niche

• -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

You are next to a niche in the side of the mountain, which blocks out

everything to the west with its immense rocky bulk. Just barely visible

is a small fissure in the rock, through which it looks like you could

'enter' the mountain.

                 Visible Exits:

[A]way from [M]ountain [Enter] the Mountain

With:

[DYN] Silent hunter... (Morpheus)

The weasel Morpheus stands slightly taller than most do. His fur is an ashen gray, except his face, which has black tattoos etched across it in an unusual design. His clothing is simple, though it looks like it would be hot in warm weather, a dark, olive green tunic, black trousers, and a black cloak, the hood pulled up most of the time. The weasel's eyes are dark green, almost the same shade as his tunic. A short sword hangs from his belt, and from the way his cloak moves, other things hang from the belt, hidden from view.

( One of the shadows near the edge of niche moves suddenly, and Morpheus slips beside the fissure that forms the entrance, staying to the side so that he is out of the line of sight of anybeast within. Obviously up to something. )

Quinten is walking up the path hurriedly, he's been down to look at the sea again, he shouldn't really be outside the mountain but he wanted to see it

Morpheus hears the hare approaching, and the weasel slips back into the shadows, before slipping a few feet up the side of the rock. His eyes follow the hare's progress across the sand, but he remains motionless besides that.

Quinten is hurrying along so quickly,eyes focussedon the door in front of him he doesn't see a rock and trips head first over it and sprawls in the dust

Morpheus watches silently. Some other beast may have killed the hare then, but the weasel doesn't want to attract any unneeded attention. He remains silent and motionless.

Quinten stands back up and dusts down his uniform muttering under his breath heading back to the crack leading inside

Morpheus seems to be content to watch at the moment, unaware of the faint footprints that led from the fissure to his hiding place.

Quinten is heading back in then stops frowning at the footprints leading out, he didn't mean any beast on the way up.... he looks about and begins to follow them

Morpheus curses under his breath, ascending several more feet. If worst comes to worst, he'll drop a rock on the hare's head and run for it.

Quinten pads along looking up as he follows the footprints "Whose there?2

Silence from the weasel, except to drop a rock the size of a fist in the direction of

Quinten. the worst it will do is knock him out for awhile.

Quinten goes cross eyed and slumps sideways staggering, paw moving to his head

Morpheus drops to the ground, dashing by Quinten and swinging a fist in his direction at the same time.

Quinten slumps to the floor with a gentle groan and slides sideways

Salamandastron: Niche

• -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* Salamandastron *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

You are next to a niche in the side of the mountain, which blocks out

everything to the west with its immense rocky bulk. Just barely visible

is a small fissure in the rock, through which it looks like you could

'enter' the mountain.

• -*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Everything just outside the fissure leading into the mountain looks normal, except for a double set of footprints that lead off from the normal track around the base of the mountain and up in between a rock overhang.

Jog time! Darklett trots out of the mountain in exercise clothes, ready to go for a nice run up and down the beach. Of course, when he runs out onto the sand, he notices the tracks heading towards the mountain, and stops, following them with his eyes. "Hm."

The tracks leading up to the rocky outcrop are an odd pair, one set appears to have been made by a hare, as if they were slowly following the set of four vermin tracks that skirt the rocks as if the beast was trying to keep in the shadows, another set cane be seen heading back out of the rocky area and away around the base of the mountain, the vermin tracks it would seem.. though at this distance its hard to see for sure
