Grim Hyborian Tales: Children of Ctaroc

Arturio

Arturio snorts at the Kushite's words, stifling a grin and then moves to follow the Pict.

"Let us keep pushing forward..."

The largest among the Vanir, his feet dragging the snow on either side of his burdened garron, rode to the fore of his brethern.

"We will not go on without Arnvid," he said, eyes defiantly locked on Arturio's. "Egil! Falki! Take the scout position, we will ride back along our trail."

OOC: Sorry for the delay. Kept trying to post yesterday and got pulled away... darn manager expecting me to work. The nerve!
 


Ongwi nods and removes an arrow and sticks it into the snow as a visual reminder of where the glacial rift is, then sets back down their trail, hunched over, eyes scanning the snow, looking for hoof prints leading away from their trail or heading back.
 

Arturio

Blood reddens the Poitainian's cheeks at the insult and he grips his blade a bit tighter before forcing himself to relax. You are a sell-sword now, man, not a knight of the King's vanguard.

A smile of irony crosses the short warrior's face.

"Whatever you say...let us find him and be quick about it...I don't want Arnvahr facing the enemy alone."

The Vanir garrons milled about trying to get organized amidst much grumbling, as Ongwi picked up Arnvid's trail. Before the group starts moving again, however, Arnvid and his companion appeared out of the ice storm from the west. Arnvid's bannerman carried a grisly burden: the severed head of an Aesir, his long blonde hair and beard caked with frozen blood.

The two reined up their puffing and trembling ponies to the hails of their men.

"A scout," Arnvid said simply, as his bannerman threw the head into the ring of steaming horses. "Seems our own eyes are lacking."

He looked significantly at the Pict. Suddenly his eyes widened and mouth hung agape.

OOC: Listen and Spot for everyone. Sorry for the delay, yet again. If I actually make it home before midnight tonight, I'll post again to move things along.
