"Leader, we found the goat path," Silver reported over the comms.
Alex immediately led the rest of the party away from the entrance of the narrow Rock Monkey Gorge and toward the left side, where the scouting team was waiting.
Hidden within a cluster of rocks was the entrance to an even narrower path that cut through the rock formation along the side of the gorge.
'It's here…' Alex thought. '…just like he said it would be.'
The revealed path between the rocks was the second way Raven Horn had mentioned the expedition party could get past the gorge without having to kill the important Rock Monkeys.
The cave tunnel was tight—just wide enough for two people, or one person leading a horse, to pass through.
The path was far from smooth. Not to mention it inclined upward ever so slightly, making the trek even more cumbersome, especially for the female spellcasters in the group.
