The Fe'gan Mountains are the highest, coldest mountains Lambastia has to offer, with the highest peak recorded at 8589 m (28,179 ft). Only the toughest creatures survive here, and the trek to get to the Basantha Shrine lays through these harsh conditions. (+3 Endurance)

Ardenix loved the way the crisp air felt moving in and out of his lungs. It was cold--stinging cold--but it was pure, full of nothing but the smell of trees and snow and cold stone. It felt... natural. Unpopulated. Well, unpopulated save for the large numbers of people who'd signed up to investigate these cave systems, but he and Vinezza had managed to find a spot away from all the rank amateurs to make their ingress.

With her naturally thick coat of fur, the cold didn't seem to bother Vinezza at all. Similarly, as the bigger and stronger of the two, she was tasked with carrying their goods. Ardenix went up to her and removed one of their canteens for a quick swig. Even the water he'd bottled down in town tasted good up here.

I'm so cool (too bad I'm a loser).
I'm so smart (too bad I can't get anything figured out)!
I'm so brave (too bad I'm a baby).
I'm so fly
That's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time!

I'm so green (it's really amazing).
I'm so clean (too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me)!
I'm so sane (It's driving me crazy)!
It's so strange
I can't believe I'm falling for the first time!

The two of them had been assigned their own little cleft in the ground--one of the many unassuming little bits of rock that the ordinary hikers passed by every day until someone discovered they connected to a larger cave system. Ardenix, being of small size, would have no problem squeezing in. Vinezza... was going to be more of a problem. But the nice thing about having rock-hard skin was that it made moving and digging much easier.

Ardenix shifted a few boulders and widened the hole. Vinezza peered inside. She was beginning to regret that she'd never properly studied the magical art of turning intangible... that would've made things much easier.

Ardenix crawled out of the crack and looked at his assistant. "Alright then! One last inventory before we dive deep! Water?"

Vinezza wiggled her body and the canteens sloshed. "Check!"

"Provisions?"

She lifted a carrot stick in one paw and crunched it. "Check!"

"First aid kit?"

She patted her backpack. "Check!"

"Rope?"

"Check!"

"Mattocks?"

"Check!"

"Surveying equipment?"

"Checkarooni!"

"And of course... emergency headlamps in case your lights fail us?"

"Professor, there is no way I'm gonna go dim on us now!"

"That wasn't the question..."

"Fine, fine. Check." She swung a helmet up on her head and flickered on the incandescent light. "Can we GO now, Prof?"

"Alright, alright. Into the breach! ...Literally!"
