For the moment the eagle vanishes over the crest of the rocky hills surrounding the small valley he truly vanishes from sight, the view of the sky blocked by the hillsides. In these parts chances are he can circle as much as he likes above any bandits he finds while spotting the eagle from where the group is now will be all but impossible.<br/><br/>So unless Anan returns at some point, his search having led to no results, you will have to march ahead into the unknown. But at least Donwik's close observation of what lies ahead convinces him that there are no hidden traps, nor bandits lying in wait anywhere close by.<br/><hr/>Donwik, everything here is what it appears to be.<br/><br/>Everyone, how long do you wait for Anan to maybe return or not? It's early afternoon right now, but n this terrain the shadowy valley can get pretty dark long before the sun sets.
