We continue going west for 3 days. During one of these days we rest and let Porodo hunt for food, but he is unsuccessful.

While we are walking through a small canyon, suddenly two large boulders fall in front and behind us, blocking us in. Thatsaru uses a hearing spell and hears sinister voices on either side of the boulders.

Arrows bury themselves in the ground near us, and we see goblins and orcs approaching. We attack, and several more appear. We kill the goblins and orcs, and take their belongings. Thatsaru takes a java stone, a meteorite, and a crystal rod.

The next day we continue traveling and finally see grass – we have reached the end of the mountains, 25 miles from our starting point. In the distance, we see a small village and a river. This is possibly the river on which the River Rat lies.

We camp again before reaching the village.
