"And are you so sure that they strive against the undead here?" asks Kyranvik.

Delkat turns his head quickly towards Kyranvik.

"Absolutely," the priest said with some conviction.

Nebten · 15th July 2009, 04:13 PM

Who said anything about undead? If you have any information you would like to share with us Delkat, I would recommend you do so. Not that it'll change much anyways. If any unliving come creeping around, we'll put it to rest.

Donner continues on at a soldier's pace, marching through the forest & fog.

I wonder if we are going in the right direction . . .

"I spoke with the captain of the watch last night at the inn," he says as he marches through the somber forest.

"He told me of the rampaging undead that have free run of this area -- ghouls, zombies.... all sorts of foul undeath. I will not leave this place until they fear the light of day and are put to rest."

Rhun · 15th July 2009, 10:17 PM

For S@squ@tch/Drelkat

s@squ@tch · 15th July 2009, 10:58 PM

"Hold," Delkat says as he motions his right arm out to his side and slightly downward, fingers splayed open.

He then points to a small piece of torn cloth hanging up in a tree branch up ahead, on the right hand side of the trail.

"Some of the branches are disturbed -- there is a good probability that someone passed through there, but I am unsure of how long ago that was."

Nebten · 16th July 2009, 02:00 AM

Donner kneels down around the ground of the cloth to look for any fresh tracks.

I guess the question we need to ask ourselves if that person is or . . . was alive when he passed through.

kinem · 16th July 2009, 02:18 AM

Ryan looks where Delkat indicated.

"I'm uneasy about the idea of checking it out ... but more uneasy at the idea of leaving it as an unknown to surprise us."

Queenie · 16th July 2009, 05:44 AM

"I agree Ryan, we shouldn't leave an enemy at our back especially when we do not know what will be before us. Who will go investigate? Would you like me to fly up and take a peek? I do not think I'll be able to see through the fog very well."

Fenris · 16th July 2009, 08:45 AM

"I'll check it out" says Kyranvik. The warrior pauses for a moment and inhales and exhales and as he does a faint shimmer can be seen around him. Sword in hand he heads through the brush.

As I said before ... Heroes tend to die quickly in the land of the mists.
Ares remarks to no one in particular.
Leave the land undisturbed...
Ares scans the surrounding. his comrades will probably bring the wrath of the land upon them and him so he takes a position in the middle of the group.

Sarryx follows the sage advice of Ares and stands next to the wizard, preparing for anything that might come from the mists.

s@squ@tch · 16th July 2009, 08:32 PM

Looking at the others huddling together in the middle of the road, Delkat feels as if the warrior was being tossed to the wolves.

"I will go with you, but will ask you to lead the way."

As they get closer to the strip of cloth, Delkat traces a sigil in the air and touches the back of the warriors armor. He feels a slight surge of divine power course through his body.

"Hopefully you won't have to use it."

Ryan draws his greatsword and joins Delkat and Kyranvik.

Rhun · 16th July 2009, 09:32 PM

Kyranvik, Ryan and Drelkat move into the tight confines of the forest, following the path of broken and bent branches and brush, while the rest of the group waits, keeping their eyes open for an ambush.

s@squ@tch · 17th July 2009, 12:36 AM

OOC: Was the scrap of cloth near ground level where we could have retrieved and examined it?

Nebten · 17th July 2009, 12:44 AM

OOC: Donner went to investigate first.

Jemal · 17th July 2009, 02:52 PM

Kay'el rubs his brow in mild frustration "So our options are either we go traipsing through the forest after some unknown creature who may have passed months ago, or we ignore it and leave a possible ambush at our backs? I allready hate this place.

Seeing half the group move to the forest and the rest staying on the road, he holds a hand to stall everyone "I REALLY don't think it's a good idea to split up in such a place.. in this mist if we loose sight of each other I don't know if we'd ever lay eyes on each other again."
