Day 6, Late Afternoon toward Evening: The Mine
The lost adventurers continue on their way south along the river through the forest.
Within a couple hours the trees thin to a sparse wood and then give way to a pleasant greensward extending to the base of a grey cliff. The cliff is not as imposing as the mountains that surround the valley with their near-uncrossable heights, and yet it does present an obstacle, running from the high mountains on the party's right to the very edge of the river. The river cuts between the cliff and another rocky hill on the river's far bank, its waters troubled by rapids. However, as the party draws closer to the cliff, all can clearly see steps leading up the cliff face to a shut stone door. Above the door, a narrow crack in the rock lets forth a plume of grey smoke. To the left of the door is a dark hole, clearly the entrance to a mine, as evidenced by the slag heap and quarried waste sloping up to it.
You are still a good long shouting distance away from the cliff. Plans and actions?
