Cold Truths (part 1: The Missing Duke)

"Anyone else think that this is a bad idea?" Aleran mutters as he follows close by.

"Yes..." Swipe mutters in agreement.

"Aye," says Uri, "I think it's time to let this sleeping dog lie. We have a long road to the north of us, and the weather is not our friend this day." Uri stands at the edge of the tracks, waiting for a decision to follow them, or move north.

it's colder here, the slight breeze coming off of the icy water, than it was standing by the shelter of the buildings. peering over the small streamlet, there is no immediate evidence of further tracks and the streamlet is running clear so you can be fairly sure that anyone (or anything) that stepped in it did not go upstream.

Woden: Skaris seems much calmer now, with only an occasional furtive glance.

Tyler: There is a small residual black aura here, but it is weaker than at the buildings and fading quickly.

Uri: The tracks in th esnow, judging by their distance apart, would seem to have been made by a large bipedal creature about the size of the average human but the depth reveals nothing about weight as the ground is too solid.

OOC: I would like one post from each character at least once avery two days. With the faster servers that should be do-able, I think. If you see this as a problem, let me know...

"The feeling is past Skaris? What was it?" the druid says, casting his eyes about, still wary.

Tyler slows. I think it evaded us. The evil presence is fadeing. What have the rest of you sensed?

 

[taitzu52]

"I sense that we're chasing down a red fish. It grows cold, and those tracks concern me little. Shall we press on?", say Uri.

 

[Lazlow]

"No argument here, Uri..."

 

[taitzu52]

"Good," says Uri, "we've only lost an hour here, let's head north before the weather gets worse." Uri begins to reblaze his trail back north towards thier original destination.

 

[Lazlow]

Swipe gratefully falls in line behind Uri.

Tyler looks a bit crestfallen but relents. I see there is nothing we can do here. Let us continue. He seps up to the front of th party and pushes on with the others.
