Session Ninety-Two: The Ringing Mountains

The group followed Fain, their guide, up the mountain path, their pack bearers followed behind them. They walked for hours in near silence, with Kraah flying a short distance ahead, to scout. Any conversation they had with Fain was rebuked. He told them that he was their to guide them, not make friends with them.
Raco was walking near a ledge, when it suddenly gave way. He slid down, but was able to catch himself before he fell too far. Cheet and Dimitria were the closest to him and they tired to help, but he was too heavy to lift.
Then, Cheet slipped and nearly fell herself. Yusef was trying to help, but was standing far away from the edge. He tossed a rope to Cheet.
Samsun pulled and Kraah pushed Raco back up to safety. Yusef and Dimitria pulled Cheet to safety, with the rope. Fain scolded them for not staying away from the edge. Dimitria and Raco complained that he hadn't told them that earlier. Fain replied that he thought they were smart enough to know, but he had obviously been wrong.
They walked for a few more hours, when Kraah called out a warning. There were gith ahead. Fain ran back down the path a little way and used his gray and brown cloak to blend into the rocks. Raco attempted to use the way, but his brain had an overload and he fell unconscious.
