The rise is pretty easy from the southwest, but Silenus doesn't see it until he has leapt up to the top. There is a bit of a rough slop along the river's edge. The columns are actually old chimneys.
If everything looks pretty safe, Silenus waves the others around to the southwest way up the slope to the rocky outcropping. Then he looks around for rocks.
"When we're ready, we can throw more rocks to attract those beasties."
"This grounds do seem pretty solid. I wonder why these cabins were mostly torn down?", Olsihla comments as she begins clearing out the existing fireplace and setting up a camp with Jasmine's aid.
Rinn searches the carapaces of the ankhegs in case there might be anything of value or use, as well as any arrows that might still be serviceable. While he does this though, he keeps a wary eye out. Once done, he tends to the mule for a little bit before everyone rests.
(( The ankheg has taken 36 HP damage, it is looking very rough. ))
Rinn fires off another shot at the creature Silenus is fighting.
Longbow Attack: 10 Damage: 11
Sneak Attack if applicable: 10
Again, Rinn's arrow fells an insectoid.
"It is dark now. We should find a rocky area where these things cannot borrow.", Olsihla says.
Silenus scans the area for a rocky bluff. Hopefully the loggers built something up higher.
Perception: 9
Rinn takes a look from his perch to see if he could make out any rocky areas as well (Perception: 22).
From Rinn's purch, he notices a bluff of stone between them and the river. There are some vertical outcroppings.
Silenus makes his way to the stone bluff that Rinn points out. He looks for a way up, jumping up if he can, climbing if he can't.

"Are you sure those bugs will not come up here?", Jasmine asks nervously as she follows Olsihla's lead.
"Nothing is so certain, but they should not be able to dig up from under us at least.", Olsihla assures in a cold way.
Silenus eventually remembers the mule and wagon and guides it up the more accessible route.
He then searches through the remains of the cabins that used to be on the bluff, wondering if there's any sign of what happened to them.
(( Roll Investigation Silenus ))
The ladies are visibly embarrassed about forgetting the animals and cart. Though Olsihla says nothing while Jasmine tends to the beasts and cart.
Silenus Investigation: 13
