<strong>Leander</strong><br/><br/>Fortunately for the elf, it was indeed still softly drizzling. And if it hadn't been, no doubt all he would need to do is wait for the deluge to pick up again. Truly the weather here was unlike anything else, as if it was something conjured by the most powerful of druids.<br/><br/>The woman softly sighed as the elf departed from the room, burying herself under the blanket after she rolled over again. As he passed through the hallway connecting the main chamber and their quarters for the night, Leander caught a scenic view from the collapsed portion of the wall. He saw a small path he could climb down, leading directly underneath one of the many waterfalls surrounding the ruins.<br/><br/>The path wouldn't take him too far away, no more than thirty or forty feet from the wall by his estimate.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Climb check required if you crawl out of the collapsed wall. It doesn't look very difficult for Leander, but maybe for somebody less experienced.</div></div><br/><strong>Ellen</strong><br/><br/>"You'll have to forgive me." Rathael offered with a smile and a shrug, "Didn't inherit my mother's tongue...<em>s.</em>So I'm a little rusty."<br/><br/>They were Genasi, of the elemental plane of air. For supposedly being tribal barbarians... they were dressed in sandals and white robes (adorned with clouds and wind patterns) beneath leather armor. Most were armed with javelins or slings and sometimes short swords. Rath began to stumble through the translation of the ghost's words.<br/><br/>The reply was civil, at least. They spoke with determination, but the tone didn't sound violent... except for when the word 'machina' was uttered a second time. "Uhh... They said<em>we're</em>not intruding." Rath explained, pointing back and forth between himself and Ellen, "But, uh... I don't think they like the Airship."<br/><br/>He went back to the leader, asking her a question in the Genasi's native tongue. Of course, even Ellen could see that the half-celestial was purposely trying to sound as appeasing and melodious as he could. It didn't have very much of an effect in dampening her stern demeanor as she gave her somewhat lengthy reply.<br/><br/>Rathael returned to Ellen, flying around her as he related, "She says..." He paused, gathering his thoughts, "'Machine People' who can't tame the flying beasts or, uh, take to the skies under their own power... Cannot seek passage. It's, uh, blasphemy."
