OOC: You're not waiting for anything on Solomon are you?

No I need to know what will happen at the camp with Nac Mac

Marcus will inform the Captain that he is going to take a look at the field where the trail of blood leads. Before doing so he'll get his armor and bow.

Marcus will be careful not to alter or mess up the trail, so that Solomon (a more experienced tracker)will be able to look at it as well if he returns soon enough.

You take a quick run back to the barrack. When you get there the captain is giving a coffee to Karne calming him down. Karne gave so much for this country and this village that people are usually forgiving towards his sometimes erractic actions.

The captain tells you to be careful, he will go advise the mayor as soon he is done with Karne. You take a few moments to don your armor correctly and quickly return to the crime scene. You follow the blood trail accross the field when you are about 300 feet from the village center you see a bigger spot of blood, probably where he fell, You see that the track continue in the field, the track is different, he was still walking or running probably trying to run away from whatever was shooting at it.

The track start near the edge of the forest. You can't see very well on the ground it is too dark. As you reflect on the situation you hear a "Stchomb" (sound of an arrow hiting the ground).[OCC lucky rolled a 1]

Marcus will duck behind some cover (a tree or something) and draw his bow. He will look for who shot the arrow and from where.

there is a large rock not too far from you. You jump behind it as you hear the sound of a second arrow coming miss again. You try to look in the dark but you can't see a thing. The sniper seems to be hidden in the woods, which is about 100 feet in front of you. You wait for the archer to shoot a third arrow that could allow you to identify where the arrows are coming from. You wait for about two minutes. Nothing...

Marcus will wait in perfect silence. He will listen to see if the sniper is trying to sneak around to gain a shot on him from another angle.

Oculus, human Cloistered Cleric/Domain Wizard

Oculus thanks Jasper and studies his spellbook too.

Downstairs at breakfast, Oculus reads Valeria's note, a bit sad that he has been denied her company. [Oculus is a tiny little man, do they mean they're supposed to take orders from him?]

After hearing the what the soldiers say, he ignores them for a moment and turns to Jasper, conversing in Celestial "That student cover story isn't going to work, huh? Students don't usually have bodyguards. Maybe we should be travelling adventurers too, and just tell them to follow us?"

You wait for more than five minutes and don't hear a single thing. No more arrows are thrown at you. You evaluate that without getting out of the woods, it should be hard to shoot at you, if you stay covered behind the rock. The forested area in front of you is quite narrow.
