No, not the best sign. But it did give them something to go on and a target. Bellara nodded along with Rook. "Yeah, I think you're right about that." It was inevitable anyway; they weren't going to turn back just because of the skin-crawling feeling from the island.

She looked upwards, examining their surroundings. "I...think all of this is coming closer to the center of the island. But we could probably get better vantage on the mountain." Which happened to be pretty damn close to the center, so it was likely the better place to check. "At least we can then examine the island better and if there's anything we can spot that will clue us in." And they could follow the oppressive feeling, too. That usually was what worked out for them!
