Severin spends a few moments clambering up the steep sides of the sinkhole. Debris and stones fall down behind him as he hauls himself up using roots and branches as handholds. After a few moments he cautiously emerges, finding himself in the open landscape of the plains around the mesa. The sinkhole is in a small depression in the ground, and to the south he can see the Inselberg rising out of the plains. From where he is, however, it seems unlikely that they could see him back, if they were watching. The mine is also likewise out of sight, hidden behind one of the shoulders of the mesa.
