It's probably a very good thing that Gold sweet-talked them a car in the nearby tiny Scottish village of Oakhurst, because it is freezing cold out and snow blankets almost everything around. Walking the seven miles up the Old Road to the ruins would be a bitch and a half.

Instead, they comfortably drove past rocky downs, near stands of old-growth oak covered in snow, and past two farms that looked abandoned. No other travelers were visible on the lonely road, which finally curves, passing east of a narrow ravine. Belle signals for them to pull over here, where, at the road's closest approach to the cleft, several broken pillars jut from the earth where the ravine widens and opens into something akin to more of a deep, but narrow, cavern. Two of the pillars stand straight, but most of them lean against the sloped earth. Others are broken and several have apparently fallen into the darkness-shrouded depths. A few similar pillars are visible on the opposite side of the ravine.

[ she examines the vials but comes up with nothing. chemistry isn't really her subject. ] I wish we had some idea of how far down the grove was located. There's no saying that we're standing right over it.

Only one way we're gonna find out.

[ she heads over to the shaft where the tree had sprung from. it's a long climb. BETTER GET STARTED.

wrong.

that was wrong. i've made a terrible mistake. emma's climb check is a whole 4 this is going to be great. this is like watching wipeout but SHE MAKES IT BY SOME MIRACLE. it's just fucking graceless charming behavior. ]

[ belle casts a mildly concerned look in gold's direction. HE MADE IT DOWN A ROPE ONCE, IS HE GONNA GET SO LUCKY TWICE. maybe she will glance very subtly in the direction of where he put that cat's grace potion. now might be a good time, bro.

still, she'll start climbing down the vines as well, taking her time because man she's even worse than emma at this. maybe she wore impossibly high heels today (climb 3, LUCKILY THE DC IS 0, just don't crit fail fuckers) either way, everybody is gonna climb down to a NEW THREAD ON THIS POST WOO ]
