The party has traveled up the Khelwater River, from the swampy lowlands around Vargen to the mountainous jungle, arriving finally at the landing where the road up to Xen’Khel begins. After dispatching a rampaging elephant and selling its carcass to merchants sharing their campsite, the group prepares for the trek up into the Mikhel Peaks to the site of the ruined dwarven city. Will they reach their goal? The road is a feat of ancient engineering, smooth with generous switchbacks to ease the incline, but dangerous jungle and mountains still hem it in closely as it climbs … this is wild land and anything can happen even to the last mile of the journey.
