Bother Around Beregost

The two of you plunge into the swirling mists, Grim and Cormick, after some initial relutance, follow behind. The damp is unnatually chilled, it feels like it ought to freeze but doesn't. Visibility is low, you can only see a few yards in front of you through a grey-white world that appears to have had all colour sucked out of it. Ivellious' flaming sword is like a beacon, it is not only the main source of light shinging through the gloam but it even seems to burn the mist away.

The woods are dead quiet. No birdsong, no owls, no rustling of forest animals and no wind to stir the leaves. The only slight sound is your footsteps and the occassional clink of well maintained equipment and that, even though coming from two such woodwise beings as yourself, sounds like a thunderclap. It's like walking in a long sealed lifeless tomb, rather than a verdant forest.

After what seems an eternity, but your conscious mind tells you is only a few minutes, the unnatural silence is broken by sound of something making it's way through the undergrowth towards you from the right.

OOC:
Ivellious:
[sblock]The mist isn't being dispersed or shone through by your flaming sword, the mist is actively moving away from it, even fleeing.

This sounds like lots of forest animals of various types all moving together in a bunch, an obviously unnatural phenomena
[/sblock]
Koirk
[sblock]Initially you think it is a trick of the light, or a few stagnent eddies, but no, the mist looks like it is making a conscious effort to move away from Ivellious's flaming blade.

You've never heard anything quiet like this before, it's not something big, but it is making a lot of noise - too much to be something native to the woods.[/sblock]

Ivellious notices the mist moving away from the sword, but says nothing at first. Mist moving like it was alive? How absurd. He thought to himself, though the moment Korik said the thing that was on his mind, the elf suddenly, and quickly slashes his long sword through the mist to see the reaction of the "creature"
 

The elf's sword cleaves through the mist, to an untrained eye it might simply seem that the light and heat burn through the fog but the rangers' keen senses note that the mist seems to actively flee in front of the flames.

To your right the sound of rustling and measured scampering is closer, louder and hard to ignore. It sounds like it is getting close to you, then stops a few dozen feet away. There is total silence.
 

Ivellious turns to Korik, and thinks about what would be the best thing to do for a moment. Then he slowly, and quietly approaches the source of the sound, while being ready for anything
 


OOC:
Okay, how far away are you going? Much beyond 5-10 feet and you will be out of visual contact. Well, further out than that Korik will be able to see Ivellious, or at least the glow from his sword, but Ivellious won't be able to see Korik. Let me know and I will resolve the cliffhanger when I get back.

ooc: far enough to discern if anything has come between us, however far that may be.
 

OOC:
Ten feet will retain visual contact, any further than that and you are reliant on sound and smell. Where are the two animals going?
 

OOC: Ivellious would've sent Cormick to try and get into a flank position, forgetting that Korik is with him. Ive isn't very used to fighting with others
