She also manages to hit a bit of a rise in<br>> the land at<br>> the wrong angle [Pilot - Auto: 96%] and suddenly the ATV<br>> starts<br>> leaning too much to the driver's side.

Outside they can hear the<br>> angry mob<br>> approaching, screaming bloody murder as they come. They are<br>> surrounded<br>> in dust, but they can't be more than about thirty feet
from<br>> the wall<br>> of mist and the pile of stones that Vesper had pointed out.<br>> [/GM]<br>> <br><br>[Vesper]<br>Silently curses. <br><br>"Is everyone alright ?"
