Set on Mount Apikuni - outrider thread. SC wolves - feel free to assume your character came with Bazi and but trailed behind to do something.

A narrow pass separated Mount Apikuni from the rest of the range. Bazi hadn’t realized until she made it her to scale the mountain, circling slowly round as if following a string of Christmas lights to the top. She had expected a link to the Sunspire Mountains to the west, but there was only a sheer drop and a distant strip of green. Bazi had journeyed a little over halfway up - a day’s work - when the sight of it caught her attention, and she decided to stop for a rest at the cliff's edge.

It had rained recently, and she refreshed herself from a shallow puddle of cold water. It was overcast and dark today, and the air was thick with the promise of further showers. At least it keeps things green, she thought, looking around for somewhere to shelter. The mountain was full of little nooks and crannies to hide a wolf - or something else. One day, the Creek population might overflow here. Outriders could live here in shifts to keep watch on the west, and the rest of the pack could be summoned by howl to trap intruders in the pass if need be.. Swift Pass, Bazi tried. It didn’t sound menacing enough. Death’s Pass? Too dramatic. Trapper’s Pass. That had a certain ring to it.
