Academy of Drell, Part 6

[Velenne]

"I am afraid not for such is not my forte, good Lyrique. I will assist wherever I can but I believe the burden of information has been left to our three scouts whilst the rest of us engineer a campsite at this location."

 

[Zhure]

The Cove

For those setting up a base camp, the cove has little of interest to offer. The white sand mingles with the white undisturbed snow, lending a surreal aspect to the entire vista. Pine trees abound, so finding flammable cones and needles isn't difficult at all, but they will make a lot of odorous and black smoke if burned.

A few large rocks can be used as a place to conceal the longboat.

"Not good..."
Sildarin picks Slith up and places him on his shoulder.
"Do we... follow them...?"

Keith nods, "I think we should, as long as we stay hidden, we should be alright, I have an idea, but it depends on the relations between these giants and the orcs... I mean the enemy of our enemy is our fiend right?"

Keith pauses, "They could provide a wonderful distraction, if the numbers of the orcs are too many..."

Keith continues forward following the tracks as best as he can, staying hidden... and silent.

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn eventually drags out a thick blanket sized for him and burrows into the needles and cones at the base of a pine tree, coating himself and the blanket in the underbrush. After digging himself into the warm embrace of the Goddess he tries to catch some sleep to help restore some of his strength, and to make sleeping in shifts later on that night much easier for him.

"I think that Rallyn has a good idea." Charlotte says, looking aronud the cove. "Don't disturb anything too much. There may be a need for us to leave this place, and quickly, and leaving a trail might not be a good idea, if there are giants here..."

She sits down on the ground, near one of the large boulders that is hiding the longboat, and leans against the rock. "Lyrique, if you can get us a view of the island, then please, by all means do so... ignorance here could get us all killed..."

 

[Dalamar]

Sildarin silently takes Keith's pace, staying a few steps behind him. He thanks his luck that Keith is more interested in the giants than in him.

Keith crouches low, looking about, "See anything Sildarin?"

I wonder is he afraid of me... he seems to be uncomfortable around me...

Keith continues, "I hope Charlotte, and the rest are alright, I wouldn't be too happy if they were harmed in my absence... though I think you have the same concern... right?"

 

[Jarval]

She sits down on the ground, near one of the large boulders that is hiding the longboat, and leans against the rock. "Lyrique, if you can get us a view of the island, then please, by all means do so... ignorance here could get us all killed..."

"If we've got giants around the place, perhaps we should look around for a cave to set up camp in. We'd not be visible from above, and I'm thinking that's a good." Mortimer looks around the beach, drumming his fingers on the boulder. "It might also be easier to disperse the smoke from a fire."

"I wish I could. The limits of the song-spell that I know do not allow for the summoning of a speaking arial observer." Lyrique says looking a bit disapointed in himself. "Maybe there are some Fey in the woods who could give us some information. I'm not sure if it would be a wize idea to go into the woods by myself to find out tho."

 

[Jarval]

"I'll go with you if you want, although I'm not ranking highly in the stealthy stuff. But a chance to nose around the island wouldn't go amiss, and who knows, maybe we might find a better camp site." Mortimer replies to Lyrique.
