Expedition to the Externstones
Verfasst: 03.11.2006, 15:39
After reading about the externstones in this thread on the DRC Site Forums a group of 13 explorers from this community took it upon themselves to travel to that mysterious age. After some modifications to the image-function of your KIs 
we gathered for our expedition to discover the secrets of those ancient runes and to see if maybe there's a linking book to be found on that pedestal after all...?

Some of our expeditions main documentation officers, discussing their improvements on picture taking with the KI:
On the link-in-spot we were greeted by this dragon... luckily it was only made of wood.
Of we went, looking for those large, freestanding rocks we read about,
only to find normal rocks in the woods,
not standing free at all...
but none the less interesting:
High up on the cliffs,
we enjoyed the view,
of the autumn forest below us:
And also of the woods
and old trees
all around us:
Some familiar views,
of a game we all played
We even had the luck to observe two of the inhabitants of the age:
One of which was quite the active little fellow:
Whilst the other one didn't seem to take much notice of us:
But we were looking for something else...
And while our search took us up
and down
and up
and down...
we were sure to find our way to the stones
and as we got closer,
and closer,
and closer...
we found our first runes, which showed us we were on the right track:
And there they were,
the Externstones:
From far away we already suspected that our final destination should lie high up on the rocks...
So we approached the mysterious bridge...
And at last, high upon this rock, the mysteriuous runes and pedestal...
empty
Crestfallen from the lack of a new linking book, the main part of our photographers took it upon themselves to document the only really cool looking artefact, the bridge leading upon our rock:
While the other explorers,
high upon the other rocks,
even found a prison...
Closing this little report of our expedition, the only thing left for me to say is:
"The gathered
are known
by their faces
of stone."
