Kingdom of the Damned (Roz/Summers/Rhona/GM)

[Preston Salabim]

"I don't see why not. This is a diplomatic mission in theory. Announcing ourselves as an official envoy of Cabal seems logical. Due to the accords, we should be safe from harm by them officially or they'd risk an incident with our territory. And if something were to happen to us unofficially, then our suspicions will be confirmed and Cabal will act. Given the nature of our mission."

[Rozalin Kendal]

Of course the leader of the bandits was someone to stay away from. Rozalin would nod, a hint of a smirk on her lips, but she wouldn't argue the point. They were there for something else, and who knew what all they would come across before everything was said and done.

"Sounds like it may be a good idea to take a look at how things seem before we go up and knock."

[Rhona Hall]

Raising a finger pointing a bit of advice to everyone in the vehicle.
"hope for the best but prepare for the worst." bandits and diplomates... It could be an alright trip but she was warmed up and ready to cover her mates backs in moments notice.

[David B.]

As they took off, they'd make it through what remained of 259, the route taking them into 64 through 233, 219 and 218. These territories seemed relatively peaceful for what they were traveling through, slightly desert-esque territory. They'd be forced slightly east, however, by a great wall that kept them out of territory 2. There would be a sign on the wall in green paint, pointing eastward.

"Be warned all those who seek to find a way to leave their world behind. The path you take is oh so shallowed- the dragons fly ore ground so hallowed."

An odd riddle, for the knowledge they had about the territory. As they would head into territory 22, the ground was hilly, even mountainous. They'd see skulls on speaks lining the border, along with more graffiti on the wall that just said "Death".

[John]

John would snarl a bit.

"Whats the first stop then?"

Whatever was decided is where he would go. He'd let Preston make the call since this was his mission.

[Rhona Hall]

She spent most of her time viewing out the window and the landscape changes were more than enough to keep her attention.

She looked at the riddle and she had a thought. Wondering how this involved the dragons. It was something she might leave to the ones that over think things. She was not usually goot ad riddles... Puns maybe but not riddles.

[Rozalin Kendal]

"Interesting. Wonder who they think is trying to leave their world behind." Rozalin would raise a brow but didn't have anything else to add for the riddle's possible meanings.

"Sounds like a warm welcome."

[Preston Salabim]

"Now. Stop the car."

[John]

John would push hard on the brakes. Not enough to slide, but enough to stop pretty quick.

[Rhona Hall]

She grabbed the "oh shit." bar as John halted to a stop. She looked back attention Preston. "You figured something out?"

[Preston Salabim]

"That riddle and now the skulls. We have a warning. We should reevaluate our path."

In case of traps or something. Preston would dig out the maps they had of the area, looking for tunnels through the hills that might be from before the war or post-war. He knew that their Destination had an unhealthy obsession with the Dragons, and Green was normally associated with the Earth Dragon. And then the lack of an apostrophe on Ore made him think it was literal. So a mine, a tunnel, or some kind of underground structure or path would likely be "hallowed ground" to followers of the Earth Dragon.

[Rozalin Kendal]

Rozalin braces herself like the sea queen she is as the brakes get a hard jab to the face, the only thing really moving on her being her hair. She frowned a little and turned to her partner as he demanded the car stop, clearly having something on his mind.

"You're thinking going through, rather than over?"

[David B.]

Preston would find the map fairly detailed. According to his estimation, they'd be near the "New Gila Placers" mine, about five miles in and two north. There was a small village near it, but it was the only one he could see.

[Rhona Hall]

Rhona peering at the map. "The mine kinda makes sense." she scratched the side of her head a bit doubtful. She had a strange feeling about it.

"Hm..." she looked to John. "Lets be on our guard when going through here, we can take the heat if it blows in our faces so we have to make sure they done have to." she grinned a bit determined

[Preston Salabim]

"Agreed, we should be cautious. But I think we should check it out. Can you get us here?"

He'd show John where on the map.
