Wen and Guntram seem keen to get a closer look, and set a course to circle around to the side, then rear of the abbey at a distance. Highbough follows, muttering old Elvish adages to noone in particular as he hobbles along...
The trio pick their way along the rough slopes in the fading light, taking care to stay largely out of sight of the abbey. Despite a few moments where tired feet stumble, stones slip down slope, or dashes have to be made from one shadow to the next, they circumnavigate the abbey quite uneventfully and have no reason to suspect that they might have been seen.
Their circuitous route takes them the best part of an hour to traverse, by which time dusk has passed and the blanket of night has settled over the land. It is well the the moon is large and ripe in the clear sky, for it bathes the land in a low silver-blue illumination which is infinitely helpful. From their new position the trio hear the distant echo of a wolf howling as they gaze down at their quarry...
