[QUOTE="pathfinderq1, post: 4810917, member: 48394"] [b]On the trail[/b] PART 1: "[COLOR=DarkOrchid]I smell food- rabbits, maybe,[/COLOR]" Snarl's voice was almost plaintive- it was obvious that the shifter was in need of a good meal. None of the group had had time for more than a mouthful of food in three days now- and there had been precious little in the way of rest. They had been acting as rear guard for a handful of elven refugees moving through the mountains- mostly because Piper had decided that they should. No one got through the mountains physically- not without going through Thane's Hold anyway. But the elves had a ritual they had been given by their eladrin 'hosts', a ritual that carried them 'through' from enemy territory on the far side of the mountains- or it should have... But the band of orcs pursuing them had been led by a shaman of some kind, a powerful ritualist in his own right, and he had forced the spell awry- not only did it fail to move them to the safety of the eladrin forest, but it pulled the orcs along for the partial journey. And for two days it had been a hard running fight, down the slope of the mountains and into the edge of the forest. They kept hoping that they would hit some border guards, or that the orcs would give up, but neither one had happened yet. The elves that they had been guarding were safe, of course, sent on ahead when Piper figured out the orcs weren't going to break pursuit, but the four friends were bone-weary and hungry- without Piper's aid, they would have been nursing wounds as well. Now Snarl and Iceclaw had ranged ahead in search of something they could use for an ambush, leaving Piper and Stonebear to harry and mislead the orcs for a bit. "[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]I smell trouble- and it isn't from the rabbits,[/COLOR]" Iceclaw growled. The smaller shifter had keener senses, even when not in the form of a hunting cat. "[COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]At least two people, and a fire... Should we go in?[/COLOR]" [/QUOTE]
