The sun beats down heavily on the land below today as two separate groups make their way through the landscape towards the fabled treasure that they had heard about. Radion had managed to snag the attention of a master thief, just as he had predicted that he would. This particular thief didn't talk much, and he certainly didn't seem to be one to be trifled with, considering his dark and mysterious manner. Despite this, Radion wasn't that concerned as long as the otter did what he was going to be paid to do. "Zee, what's our next landmark," He asks, turning his head to look at the lizard as he walks.

The blue scaled warrior turns the map sideways then upside down once then twice, truth be told this map looks hastily drawn and has no clear markings to tell distance, as if the map was drawn in a rush. Seeing as how the corner is stained with blood, that may be true. "Well, uh, our ultimate destinationsss is this big mountain here with this feircesom lookin beast on it. But to get there we are looking for something called, and I quote, "The cliffs of AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAh."

The fox sighs along with the rest of the party, and he turns to look back towards where they had been going. This was definitely going to be a long day, but he wasn't going to give up until he found this treasure. Only a mile or two away from this party, another one trudges on across the land, though the proximity is unknown to either of the parties. Rorgan looks over at Sibyl, whom they had decided to take with them since they had no other way to figure out how to get there. "Sibyl, how much longer, an' wot should we be lookin' fer?"

The fattened lizard seems to be having trouble keeping up. Must be the thin mountain air, yes that's it. "It's, not too far...the cliff's of (huff pant wheeze) Cliffs of Aaaaaaaaaaaah." Dale looks back at the party as he walks. "The cliffs of what?" Sibyl shrugs, "Cliff's of Aaaaaaah." The fox rolls his eyes. "What kind of name is Cliff's of Aaaaaaaaah? I mean seriously? What were they thinking when they named it AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" The fox screams as he falls over a cliff. Sibyl goes to look over the tall cliff that leads into a large, majestic valley. "I think we found out why they call it Cliff's of AAAAAaaaaah!"

A good mile or so away, Radion's ears twtich ever so slightly as Dale's scream rings out. With a growl, the fox begins to set off at a jog towards the noise, which is slightly off course from where we had been going. "Come on! I think we're almost there!" He calls back. Meanwhile, Rorgan makes a mad dive for Dale as the fox falls, and he reaches out a paw to grip anything on the fox, if only to save his life.

Dale was always a bit of a slippery sneaky sort, in this case physically. The fox's foot paw simply slips from the otters grasp and he plumets to his doom, breaking every branch and and tree and small rock face on the way down letting out a loud unrepeateable cuss and curse with every CRACK POW and CRASH he makes. "Oh joy..." Rioko face paws, "Look's like he is taking the express way down." Sibyl cringes, "Wow, my parrents were sailors and even /I/ didn't know that curse. If these are the cliffs of Aaaaaaaah I can only imagine what the Caves of OH LIGHT ITS EATING MY FACE Off are like...which by the way we need to hit next as soon as we climb down the Cliffs.

Rorgan slowly gets up off the ground, wincing as he watchesDale falling straight down the cliff, and the other two otters and the fox all nod. However, Toran looks back as he hears a shout nearby. "Uh, we need to hurry if we're going to be climbing down, because I think our position's been given away." With that, the three otters in the group quickly begin to move towards the edge, aiming to start their descent.

Despite her weight Sibyl's natural climbing abilities come to the fore. Taking the cliff side head first the lizard crawls down much faster than the other beasts. Rioko is having a spot of trouble trying to decide how to climb with a halberd in paw. She snaps her fingers and calls out, "Hey Dale! Catch my weapon ok!" Dropping the bladed weapon over the edge there is a short pause followed by a loud "GAH MY HEAD!" from below. The vixen chuckles and calls down, "Thanks! You're a live saver!" She begins her own climb down.

The four woodlanders of the group can't help but snicker at the loud cry from below. Rorgan, however, manages to straighten up enough to call out, "Come on, keep going! We don't have much time!" Of course, Radion hears the shout as he and his group quickly close in on the source of the sounds. "Not much time at all," He says under his breath with a devious smile.

Zee is the first to clear the bushes. "Boss! Look! Look! The woodlanders have beat us to the cliffs!" Bushtail is the last to arrive, nearly collapsing onto her face. Leaning over the fat pine marten complains, "Hurray! They beat us...does this mean we get to go home and grab a pint to drink? And what's with all the runnin eh? Can't you beasts ever just walk someplace? Or how about we steal a carriage some time..."

Radion sighs, slowing to a stop and looking back at Bushtail. "Would you like me to toss you over that cliff, or would you rather work for once and climb? It's fine with me either way, but I'd rather you make your choice rather quickly." Already, Montag, Mogat and One-Eye are beginning to approach the cliff.

Bushtail gulps, trying to lean away from the fox, "Er...um....maybe I can stay up here and toss things down at them?" She offers. Its amazing what lazyness and fear can produce. Down below Sibyl waves to her /friends/, "Come on! Lets get a move on eh?" Rioko growls but continues to climb. She looks up and calls out, "Uh, guys, we have company."

Derean curses under his breath as he looks up at the three beasts looking down at them over the edge of the cliff. "Keep goin' mates! We're almost there!" In fact, they had just passed the mid point, but they were making progress. Radion slowly turns towards Bushtail, not looking at all furious, but somehow this is far more terrifying. "Do you want to keep your life?" He asks slowly, his eyes staring holes through the marten.

Bushtail gulps. "Um..." She leans even further back from the fox. "Cliffs? What cliffs? Those arn't cliffs! Those are mole hills! Watch out boys! Bushtail is going to show yall how to climb!" The marten shouts beginning her decent. Zee meanwhile, also of climbing stock, manages to catch up with the nearest beast in the opposing party, swinging his ax at them with all the ferrocity one can muster while dangling head first over the cliff side.

Derean is many things. He is an assassin and skilled in combat, but he is not good at dodging axes while holding onto the side of a cliff. Blood sprays through the air as the ax slashes across his face, jerking his head back and completely breaking his grip on the side of the cliff, which sends him plummeting down towards the ground below.

Duhn duhn duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhn! Cliff hanger ending! More to come eventually.
