Midnight: A Glimmer of Hope

[Guest 11456]

The day passes without incident. There is now eight of you, including the tiger. After a full day's travel it is time yet again for another night's sleep. Tashki has a dream of the being that gave you your talismans. The dream is of him giving her a small cloth with something inside. She awakens remembering the dream and upon checking through her belongings finds something wrapped in a strange cloth. Within she finds the materials she needs to summon her a familiar.

Tak hasn't been sleeping well; despite assurances otherwise, he is nervous that the tiger will eat him in his sleep.

During the days, he is non-stop chatter, never growing tired of asking the others about where they came from or why they decided to start adventuring. He seems genuinely in awe of his fellow travellers.

Qaridas will, during the trek, introduce Pouncer to each party member, stressing to the cat that they are friends.

Therion will follow the rest of the group, keeping his bow in hand while travelling and his eyes on the surrounding landscape, looking for any signs of trouble.

Regan continues to move along with the party, talking when spoken to. He tries to keep a sharp eye out eventhough others are probably better suited for such tasks.

Amazed at the gift she has been given, Tashki stores the materials carefully. Journeying with her companions and speaking occasionally with Qaridas about her early instruction in dealing with the spirits.

The group continues traveling.... In the aftrernoon of the fifth day of travel, the group stops for a rest. Kuk perks up his ear and then says, "Bad stuff. Sound camp dat way." He points in the direction you have been traveling. Qaridas and Therion move to look and just over a hill about 1000 feet away is a very large camp of orcs and humans. They estimate at least 75 orcs and about a dozen humans. They believe the group can safely bypass the camp to the south. But it will add quite a bit of time to their trip and their is always the chance of being caught. Joining back with the group and relating what they saw, Kuk speaks. "Must be moved. Was dat way." He points north.

Unexpected many orcs. Hope they not looking for missing friends. says Tashki in Erenlander Pidgin.

The openess and exposure of the plains makes her long for the comfort and safety of her jungle home's canopy of trees. A demon hiding in every tree is much less frightening than hordes of orcs in each dell.

Keeping her disquiet to herself, she marches on with the others. While maintaining a sharp eye in the direction of the orc camp.

 

[Vardeman]

Qaridas turns to Therion and says [erenlander pidgin]"You lead around, i follow. Cover trail."[/erenlanderpidgin]

Tozin nods and silently moves to place himself between the group and the camp, keeping a close watch on that direction.
