The Kid indicates the thicket of forest and holds up two fingers. He then pantomimes someone watching, probably a girl (at least thats what the cupped hands probably mean), and ... something? (One armed held straight up with his fingers waggling). His grimacing face suggests whatever it is, its evil.[sblock=Sense Motive 15 (Most likely)]Its an evil tree![/sblock]

Ithiken watches The Kid go through his elaborate pantomime, his face frozen in confusion.
"See? Wha' did I tell ye? We're bein' watched."
"Yeah..." says the elf... "By a cow... with large udders... holding a flag... and sufffering from some sort of stomach virus."

Ithiken glances at the others, and then back at The Kid. "Either that, or The Kid is learning a new dance of some type."

His eyes widen and he shakes his head. "I don't want to go over there."

"Bah, tha' daft kid be sayin' 'e sees an evil tree, or some such nonsense," says Korbryn, drawing his greatsword. He starts toward the indicated thicket. 'I'll be takin' a look. Watch me back!"


Sense Motive: 18

Korbryn draws his weapon and moves toward the thicket.

Lenuran

Lenuran stares at the kid's pantomine and blinks.

"Really? That's what he's trying to say? I can think of so many other ways to say it in a more orderly and easy to understand reason." says the gnome quietly to the others nearby.

Looking across the river, not directly at Thandis, the gnome moves his hands up as if in a questioning fashion, while spinning around and hopping up and down.

[sblock=Sense Motive DC15]
He is trying to get Thandis to point to where the evil tree is.

Seeing the others stare at him like he is crazy, he sighs, then reaches into his pocket to withdraw a small piece of fleece.

After a few gestures and words, five men in chainmail, emblazened with the standard of Verbobonc, with large two handed-axes appear behind the groups horses and begin to march towards the river, creaks of armor can be heard, along with the heavy footfalls upon the ground. They reach the river and begin to wade through it towards the other side. The sounds of the water splashing against their thrashing feet can be heard.


[sblock=OOC]

Lenuran Sense Motive (1d20+10=30)

Cast Minor Image (disbelief DC16) of five men in armor with greataxes and have them start to move across the river -- sounds elements will be the creaks and noises of chain armor moving against itself, the footfalls of their steps upon the ground, then the sound of water being disturbed by people walking through it.

Spells left:

The fearless dwarf crosses the stream, a moment pass and five soldiers of the free city, holding mighty axes appear and follow ihm. Once they reach with Korbryn the other side and the edge of the woods they stop.
Both “them” and the dwarf are waiting to see if there is something on the other side. Korbryn scans the line of trees, but nothing ... no woman and no evil tree.

Thandis glance again, all the trees seem to be the same again. He cannot tell which tree was the “evil” one, since he don’t see the woman that stood behind that tree.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the river, Lenuran continues to concentrate on his illusion.

Across the water, the 'leader' of the five men turns and faces the other four, he points to two of them, barks an order, the exact words cannot be made out, then points to the left, he turns to the other two and does the same thing, but points to the right.

Immediately, the leader turns around, grasps his axe in both hands then heads forwards towards the tree line, whereas the other two groups of two go left and right respectively.

The sounds of their armor and footfalls continue, and those who look close at the men see their hands clenching and unclenching the hafts of their weapons.

OOC: break the illusions up into three groups, have them spread out a bit -- one middle, one to the left and right.
