Towards the obelisk. He had seen them earlier in town, but never close enough to bother moving towards them. The air in the mountain is so utterly unpleasant that he's almost looking for a chance to stop climbing upwards, and then there's an obelisk right there. It's like it's asking him to come look.

He will oblige it, turning on his heels and darting through the trees to catch it before it's gotten too far away.

"Wait!" he shouts, just to see if it has any kind of intelligence or if it's programmed to listen to commands. The more he learns the better, though he will catch it soon even if it doesn't stop.
