	You magnify your vision and detect that there are 
Š	violent thermal air currents swirling between the 
Š	mountain peaks. You detect that these are the result 
Š	of the dry air currents from the Bavari Hills meeting 
Š	with the humid jungle air of the southern reaches. 
Š	You warn Yranai but he seems unconcerned:

	"It may get a little rough but éSimoomé is built to 
Š	take it," he says with bravado, and he bangs his fist 
Š	on the handrail that runs around the rim of the 
Š	basket, as if to demonstrate his craft's sturdy 
Š	workmanship. When a section of the handrail 
Š	immediately falls away and is lost in the mountains 
Š	below, it does not readily inspire your confidence in 
Š	this craft or its pilot. Sheepishly, Yranai plays 
Š	with the valves of the engine and the balloon drifts 
Š	to the east, towards some more distant but lesser 
Š	peaks where the air is calmer. He gives you a wry 
Š	grin and you give thanks to Kai and Ishir that he has
	heeded your warning.
