[QUOTE="megamania, post: 5007640, member: 9255"] ELDEEN REACHES SEGMENT 010 11/08/09 “The Road to The Mountains” “With tracks like these how could they NOT follow them?” gripes Piik. “Cowards or did they not tell us the whole story?” adds Gilfer while following the oxen tracks on the dirt road. “I sense ill feelings. What is wrong guys?” asks Leaffa. “Why are we doing this? I feel so …. Used.. If I don’t get to squish something soon I will go crazy.” Grumbles the bugbear. “You did kinda get us involved without asking us. And Piik is right. These tracks are too easy. Why didn’t they do something about it on their own?” “They are simple farmers…. Not warriors.” Retorts Leaffa in defense of the victims. Piik snorts and shrugs his shoulders. They walk on through the afternoon in silence. They stop for a late lunch by a stream. While eating their bread, cheese and dried dire boar jerky they hear birds cry out and fly into the air. Suspicious of this, they put their food away and draw weapons. They look across the field but see nothing. Gilfer spots a large hole in the tall grass and points to it. They go to it and see nothing. Piik peers over the edge but sees nothing. Gilfer “pretends” to motion to push him in. Piik is not impressed and Leaffa has the look of growing impatient with their child-like antics. The bear, Paw, sniffs and gives a low growl that Gilfer misses as he now leans over the edge and suggests they check it out. He stands upright to say something smart to the bugbear when a chitinous long claw reaches out to attempt to grab his leg. Gilfer leaps away in surprise and the creature feels around trying to locate the shifter.. Piik shouts out and attacks it. The bear attacks and Leaffa prepares to call up allies while Gilfer switches from sword to dagger form and attacks from ten feet away. The large cockroach-like creature (Ankheg) is overwhelmed by them as they attack it half in and half out the borrow. Defeated it slumps back into the hole- dead. Gilfer seriously considers going into the hole to explore. Thinking about his size vs. the size of the tunnel Piik passes. Leaffa reminds him that they have a mission to complete. Gilfer climbs down onto the creature and peers into the hole but the bulk of the beast blocks the passage. Disappointed, he climbs out and the resume lunch. Eventually they spot the branch in the road that the miller had told them of. They go to it and find the small cabin that once belonged to the Trevor family. This family and their animals were all taken in the night weeks ago. They set up camp within the cabin and look for clues. Little is found. There was no struggle, no fight, and no signs of anything but abandonment. It is very strange and a bit eerie as nightfalls. Leaffa uses the few healing spells she knows on Gilfer and her bear whom the large insect creature had struck. She meditates briefly and knows in the morning her used spells will be returned to her due to her faith and connection with nature. [/QUOTE]
