First, my apologies for getting this move out late.

Second, I need a player for Gavalin.  I've sent mail out
to several folks who wanted to be alternates, but
I suspect path changes have prevailed.  

If you want to run Gavalin, and you're willing to get a
Rolemaster (TM of ICE) set, let me know.  <Character
law will suffice.>

I may soon need a player for Balinor, if dwb does not contact
me soon.

Now.  To the move.

========
Bjarney unstrings his mandolin and starts playing "Ripple".

As he begins to play, the entire party notices a warming trend in
the air.  After the first verse, the fountain appears completely
unfrozen, and the slope down (and then up) to the west appears
covered with vegitation.  There is a faint, but visible path
heading to the west, just where the King's map seems to indicate that
the path to Erinsfell should be.  (The party had previously noticed
that the terrain didn't exactly match the map, but now it appears
to match very well.)

As the path becomes more evident, Trylla encourages the party to
head down the path.  As they do, several things become evident:
	1) Both Ayudante and Gavalin notice that the path seems to
lie along a geological feature, between several mountain peaks. 
(One behind them, and one ahead)
	2)  As they head on down the path, all notice that the
perception of warmth seems to fade, but that the scenery seems
to remain intact. At the same time, the bitter cold of the path
from the south does NOT return.
	3)  Gavalin, doing his thing with his pendulum again,
notices that it is now definately swinging in a direction, in fact,
it is swinging back and forth along the path they are riding on, and
is quite consistant, even to the point of returning to that axis
when deliberately perturbed.

As Bjarney finishes singing the song, and catches his breath,
the Trylla and Izugami notice that something happens. <What?
Well, that they didn't notice, but things seem the same, i.e.
warmer, a path, vegitation, etc.>

As the party heads across a level part of the path, they notice
a small party of tall humanoids coming down from the other direction.
These humanoids are tall, thin, armed (although not reaching for
their arms), and whistling cheerfully. <Mostly a tune that
Bjarney recognizes as "Truckin' ", somewhere around the
" ... I'm a goin' home... "

As the humanoid party sees our party (which is roughly the
same time that our party notices them), they stop and
speak.
	The party does NOT understand the language, however,
Ayudante shows some signs of interest (and no fear), and
Bjarney looks momentarily surprised.
====================

I would appreciate a new move from all of you by next
Monday, I'd like to get back on track,  or at least
moving at a reasonable pace again.
