ooc Sorry I thought we had not reached the high point.
Torte dog rides more north then Daphne and kalfie so as to get a better view of what is coming towards them, while Daphne and kalfie ride close enough to the mountain to watch for passages up or human activity. The whole group is head east along the mountains heading toward the place Scout had mentioned. Their intention is to find a passage up that looks like they can manage it, with out being rock climbing experts.
They find a suitable place to leave torte dog to protect the horses and keep an eye out.
Daphne and Kalfie head out to get a better look at this passage they have found. Intention to scale as far as they can safely in hopes of seeing what lies ahead for finding a possible pass to a place where they could safely watch death's mouth or learn more about the layout of the Death's mouth. They will bring hand weapons, Kalfie his sling Daphne her bow and arrows.
Daphne and Kalfie pause to discuss what they see and tortdog secures the reigns of the horses and rides forward slowly in an attempt to see around the boulder further up the path. tortdog continues to scan the horizon in all directions, and again up the side of the mountain looking for movement or shadows.
Shaking their heads at what they see the group remounts and heads north for a mile then they turn east and head east of Death's mountain to see if they can locate a better passage.
As they cross the open plains all are keeping an eye out for any motion and likely passages up the mountains. Kalfie is particularly looking for recent passage of horse or man.
Once to the other side they will search the mountain side heading back west towards the Deaths Mouth stopping no closer than half a mile from it. Intentions to find a plausible passage to gain access to the cliffs above the Death Mouth.
After some debate it is decided that little here will be of aid to their quest. Kalfie takes not of the depth of the wagon tracks (so as to understand how leadened the wagons were) and how many horses may have traveled across this ground in the last few days more so the last few hours.
The trio rides back to the tree line and rides just inside so that we are not seen from the mountains. Riding east following the mountain line looking for possible new places that could allow us to ascend or perhaps for a second opening in the mountains that may be safer. If any spot of particular interest is noted the horizon will be carefully scanned fro sighs of movement prior any one approaching it.
Before leaving the area Kalfie quickly goes back and takes a better look at the wagon tracks and does a quick estimate on the traffic flow though the pass. Intending to let no more then 10 or 15 minutes pass on the effort as he is only looking for rough estimates in numbers and wagon weights.
Leaving directly to the tree line then east ward once the main part of Deaths mouth is out of sight Kalfie will ride closer to the mountains letting Daphne and tortdog keep the cover of the trees. Daphne and tortdog will be looking at the general shape of the range and signal if any thing is significant and require Kalfie to check it more closely. Kalfie will be trying to find a passage that he could manage and keeping an eye out for any movement besides his companions.
After watering and feeding the horses and themselves they will continue east examining the mountains looking for openings. The group will retreat into the tree line around 4 to eat and feed the horses if there is nothing of significance is seen before that time. Their next actions will also be discussed at that time.
