As you walk down the mountain-wards path, you notice that the shadows are getting longer and thinner. From between the mountain peaks, you see a glorious red-purple sunset, making the western sky look afire. The darkness seems to be rushing in from the east, threatening to overcome the last dying remnants of light.

Much as you'd like to enjoy the view, the fact remains that the evening is rapidly approaching. To the side of the road is a sturdy log house. A swinging sign indicates that this is the Tavern Inn; the raucous off-key singing from within indicates that the name is extremely apt. Behind the Tavern Inn stretches a gravelly mountain trail. The wooden sign post next to the trail reads: TO THE SUMMIT
