The party heads down the muddy path towards where they believe Bissel to be. The path is certainly different than that leading to the caves but it is clear from your altitude where the coastline is and, as you recall hearing, Bissel is on the sea. Looking back, Lludd and Fido seem to mournfully watch you leave until they are mere specks and then they disappear behind a rise.
Acquaire answers Grimes as the party descends the mucky trail. I can stay with you, if you desire. But I can leave as well. Seeing the sea from the mountain has certainly rekindled my desire for the deep, but you saved me from the my prison. I am torn. She looks up to espy the ocean but it is obscured by mountains due to the descent.
The sun is strong this high and the warmth it brings reminds you of your sacred mission. It had just peeked over the ridge when you began your descent and raced across the sky as if pulled by a mighty chariot. Shadows lengthen now and the air begins to cool as evening comes. The trees are more numerous here, having passed the treeline sometime after you ate lunch, and more wildlife has been active among the conifers here.
A loud grumble signals the need for dinner soon.
