Thrang Hymnir, Gnome Sorcerer
The gnome doesn't seem too concerned at first, and isn't surprised to find that nothing dangerous has sprung out of one of their own wagons. He just watches the whole scene for now, wondering what the fuss is about.
Still, as long as the group is moving, he'll keep his crossbow resting against his shoulder in case he needs to load and fire it later.

Verran doesn't say anything, but stares at the girl intently, trying to determine her intent.

"Lass, 'tis not me place to make decisions such as that -- you 'ill need to ask the Taskmaster."
"But know this -- there are no free rides on this road, so I'm sure that the Taskmaster will expect ye to work if he approves. But what of your parents? Won't they be wondering where their daughter went?"

[sblock=Verran Sense Motive] 18 (13+5=18) You do not suspect the girl is hiding anything. You do sense that she is afraid maybe running from something or someone.[/sblock]The young girl looks to Laravier nodding as he explains his opinions. The taskmaster shouts to the column. "Lets get moving it just a girl!" He then turns to Laravier. "Seems your a Nanny now..."
The wagons roll on while the rain continues. Mallie walks next to the wagon talking with Laravier. "I don't have parents. Well I did but they sent me to the Inn. I don't like it there... My grandmother lives in Orlane and that is why I must get there."

So, is this the only reason you're travelling to Orlane, Verran asks conversationally.

"Aye, I be a nanny now," He says with a smile.
"Lass, git back in the wagon, you're no use to us on the ground. And if fighting breaks out, make yourself as flat as possible to the floor o' the wagon."
"I'll watch over thee 'til we get to Orlane and find your grandmother, but don't get any other crazy ideas in yer head."

Seeing that everything appears to be under control, Rowan and Tiki turn their attention to the forest and the road ahead.

Mallie looks to Verran and without pause replies: "Yes"Zoycitenega said:
Mallie climbs into the wagon and sits with her legs dangling off the back. She mouths the words "Thank you" to Laravier.s@squ@tch said:
-- A short time passes --
The forest is upon you now and the rain has not stopped. The wagon's wheels now sink and dip in the mud on the road. As you pass the first cluster of trees a feeling of dread over takes you. Shadows blanket the ground and the overcast day does not help with illuminating the forest road. The taskmaster remains at the head of the column. A group of teamsters move ahead clearing the road of debris. The guardsmen seem very tense their heads swivel back and forth. It is apparent to all of you that this level of high alertness will be difficult to sustain for the entire trip through the Dim Forest.
Two hours of travel pass when the sounds of the caravan are drowned out by a call from the taskmaster. "Stop! Stop the column!" As the wagons stop many guardsmen lean and twist trying to see what the problem is. Mallie climbs to the top of the cargo in her wagon and then calls down to your group. "I think something is dead on the roadway... It looks like... like something large..." She strains her neck trying to see what it is. The taskmaster then calls again. "Lets get some strong backs up here to the front!" Rowan's companion Tiki raises her nose to the sky and sniffs. Her attention then turns to the forest North of the wagon.
