With the morning light, it became easier to see the countryside around the two travellers.  While they had spent the night on a shelflike area wooded with ancient pine trees, most of the land around them fell sharply away to the west, with the peak of the massive mountain to the east.  The road went south to the coast, the way that both of them had come, and north it headed toward a large river valley where a strong human kingdom held dominion.  The nearest inn lay to the north, on the way to the human kingdom, probably about one day's travel up the road.<br/><br/>The shelf where their camp was lay about a thousand feet off the road.  A few thousand yards up the road was a spring and a small waterfall and a pool it splashed into, forming the headwaters of a brook which ran swiftly downhill.  The waterfall was more than high enough to make a perfect place to take a shower.
