And speed... with the last mission, these work more than a little better.

[As they move, the road flattens from cobblestones to flagstones...

The structures become sturdier, thicker. There's less cosmetic additions and many of the places seem to have been built with a certain, almost paranoid practicality. The roads seem to wander a little more here, bring ing them past a large... disturbingly familiar building in the center.]

[Inside, everything made of wood or cloth has long since rotted... but of what was stone, and by the mishmashed types of stone - some limestone, some granite, and others - there was a lot of stone to build with.

A low, long table stands in the center of the entry room. There are still stains and scorches on it...

It's not perfect... where there were rough blocks set up for stools and chairs, there are carved and finished benches.

There's a spot in the corner, empty of the stove it once held, but the stone around it is still stained by ages of soot.

Two doors lead away and deeper. You know ... somehow, one leads to a bedroom, the other to a makeshift library room. The one to the bedroom has had something broken away, now there's something of a large step to get in over the doorframe.]

[Very quietly..]... It was wood... The leg never healed right, so a slope was just practical with the chill...

	[Quiet for several more long moments, running his fingers over the center table and then the walls, eventually stopping by the library's door.] . . . They kept all the history too. No one else was worthy of protecting it. . . . It really is theirs, isn't it? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[Nods, and continues through. He waits a heartbeat for Scowl then continues down their path with one backwards glance.]

[The way they skate, in silence now, widens. There are signs of wheels, the telltale ruts carved and broken into flagstone and silt, ancient and undisturbed by wind, only filled by the movement of animals and time.

The buildings have changed, most of them having rounded, arched doorways, wide windows, both empty of any fittings or frames now. A few buildings even have stone or wrought metal bins, meant for displaying wares.

The road is wide here, and looks like it opens into a huge square up ahead.]

	[Wait, was that—?] [glancing over his shoulder at some of the metal bins] We should remember where those are. If we can find a forge then maybe Simba can make good use of them. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[Circles back quickly. The bins seem to be well welded into the walls of the building, probably why they haven't been scavenged yet.] I wonder if Zel could do something... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[The road immediately ends in a large square. It is easily 50 feet across either way and the ground here is taken with moss, glowing flowers and scraggly brush. Creeping vines run along stone benches and broken fixtures that were either water troughs or some part of stables.

Across the way, and directly to either side, roads seem to empty into the square, and cut the city you stand in, in four distinct sections.

In the center of the square is a giant, three tiered fountain, with what seems to be three carvings upon each. It doesn't pour any water... however...

Easily in view, a fatty lizard seems to be investigating the inside of the lowest tier with docile interest. It looks up to stare at the intruding blanks, gives out an explosive huff of air, and begins a lumbering turn.]

	[slows somewhat at the sight of the lizard, simply nodding at it with a wide grin. Looks like replenishing the meat supplies will be easier to do than expected 8)] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
