It seemed as if they'd have to walk... pity, but at least out of the bright, reflective desert it was a little easier to tolerate the heat.  The compass led them not to the peak, but supposedly near it... Kass still wondered just<em>where</em>it was going... they'd find out eventually though, most likely anyway.  Couldn't be too far off, she figured, and if nothing else perhaps she'd be able to find the general spot and teleport to it for greater speed... though she<em>was</em>trying to save her spellcasting mana for greater emergencies.  That said, as they traversed up the mountains she saw something, like a crimson lightning bolt from the sky.  She couldn't tell what it was, or how fast it was going... but that mattered little when she saw it's ending near the top of one of the far-off Dragonsword peaks... and then what came after.<br/><br/>Kass knew enough about damaging sonic energy to know that those rocks were breaking for a good fucking reason, it was not simple wind that kicked up the sand, nor was it mere wind that<em>demolished</em>a traveler's encampment before them.  No, such was sonic energy enhanced by magic alone, and as she noted the destruction in a matter of moments, she hunkered down and covered her ears, not that it would likely do much.  Then it hit her, like a wall knocking her back to the ground several feet away, gritting her teeth and trying not to scream.  When it was done; it wasn't long, and in fact... fuck, it sounded like someone was greeting something, perhaps even them!  Not the most enthusiastic, but then again... Kass noted the crumpled masses of flesh that were her camels, and as she stood, her nose bleeding as she hacked up some blood from her stomach, she noted something fare more frightening...<br/><br/>"Run!" Kass shouted as loud as she could, even though it made her chest hurt and her spray up a bit more blood "Fucking<em>move it Aria!</em>"<br/><br/>Kass took off, heading ahead as fast as she could, which wasn't too terribly fast given the lay of the land, but there was<em>no way in the Abyss</em>that she was getting caught beneath that moving wall of rock and other such bullshit.  No, she booked it, praying Aria was right behind her, and in the process she tried to wrack her brain and figure out just what in Sune's name that was...<br/><br/>Running forward, whichever way that is, but regardless at a double-move a round (60' for me), it would take 4 rounds to completely escape it going either direction, which is less than half the necessary time it would take to get to them, so all is good ^_^<br/><br/>She uses a Knowledge Check (don't have to specify; they're all the same value : P) to try and figure out what made that sound...
