The railroad. Goes right down the mountain. Should get you down by around sundown. Probably can have it warmed up and running in about a bell.

You're telling me there's a RAILROAD straight here we could have used instead of all the climbing and being hit by snow-

By graupel.

-WET SNOW. And being attacked by birds and HAVING TO EAT BUTTER FOR THREE DAYS?? Why didn't YOU tell us about this railroad?!

Okay, first of all, I'm a mountainclimber. Del pay me to have them climb up the mountain. If I just told people about a railroad up, I wouldn't make money to feed my family. And you all were willing to pay a great deal.

Second, the monks control the railroad. No one can use it without their permission, and the train for it is up here unless they've travelled down the mountain for some reason.

We couldn't have used it, even if we wanted to, to climb up.

If I had known Illos was coming, I would have sent the train down, but our long-wave communication crystal has been off, and you couldn't have contacted us anyway.

That's my fault. I'll turn it back on when you leave, and give you all the frequency for it. We'll leave it on, so if there's some need to contact us, you'll be able to.

Lun works in mysterious ways. If we had taken a train up, we wouldn't have been here to help. Or told Y'Drasl about their nephew.

Well, you all absolutely have permission to use it from now on if you ever need to come back here. Just contact us, and we can send the train down and pick you up.

And that definitely includes you, Illos. Come on, I can walk. I'll go give the word to start the engine up so you all can hopefully have a head start against those working against you.

I can't believe there was a railroad. That I didn't have to eat butter for days.

But think about how much butter you have now. For eating in the future.
