You find the Professor's camp.

The pair of you fall silent and creep forward. What you see is the remnants of a camp that was perhaps a week old at best. By the carnage you could tell it had not ended well for the inhabitants. The place was smashed up and destroyed. The tents shredded and most of the gear burned in a huge central blackened firepit. Bodies lay where they were slain, black flies buzzing around the corpses.

This must have been Professor Mendoza's camp. After carefully looking around to make sure the area wasn't being watched the two of you sneak into the clearing and begin trying to salvage for supplies. In your searching you find a stumpy stone phallus sticking up from the foliage. It had recently been cleared of vegetation and scraped clean of moss. This was a sure sign they had been on the right track.

The place had been thoroughly smashed, almost every article burned or destroyed. You had found an old revolver and was happy to even find the one shell that you did that hadn't exploded in the fire. Perhaps it was a dud? You shrug and load the pistol anyways.

You hear Soo-yin behind you.

"Edward."

You turn to her, curious to see what she had found in her search. Her eyes had that 'smiling' quality to them. She holds it up. In her hands was a long coiled brown leather bullwhip, someone on this expedition had been an Indiana Jones fan. You shake your head and chuckle. Perfect.

She had also found a rugged battery operated lantern under some fallen debris.

With your old gun that probably didn't work, and your single bullet that was probably a dud, and Soo-yin's bullwhip and lantern, you head out toward the mountain once more. It loomed close now. You would reach it well before nightfall. Now you just had to find the lost ruins.
