(Hauptman's) Red Hand of Doom

Taargash, rarely without some form of surveillance, had been generally looking around as the group travelled. It wasn't as if he expected anything, but he knew that adventurers, much like themselves, were prime targets for organized bandit groups, which was something that he had encountered in the past. As they walked through the carved-through hills, he couldn't help but redouble his observations. Such a place was an excellent setup for an ambush.

Nothing happened, however, and the band continued, much to Tar's relief. After a brief stop, the group continued, but things quickly became different. One of them noted smoke off to the left, and as the majority turned to face it, he turned to examine the other directions. Whether or not the fire was intentional, when he was back with the gnolls, Tar had lit many a fire to draw attention away from a particular side, which was then attacked. And true he was, as he saw a creature atop the hill, bow drawn as if to fire. "Look to the hills," he called out as he drew his own longbow in response.

Kyrgynn walked methodically along the trail, his military past showing in his march-like rhythm. He hummed a soldier's song quietly, one of a green youth setting sail across the vast seas to find adventure, and finding all the bad as well as good of war.

As they walked along the passes through a hillock, he became more alert and whispered to the others to be on guard, just as some of the others became alerted as well. At the second set of hillocks with the smore rising from the west, he became alert again.

When Kyrgynn notices the humanoid with the large recurved bow appearing to have it drawn in preparation to fire, he pulls out his longboww and notches and arrow in preparation.

Ok, for those of you who don't know I'm in the army Special Forces actually and while I am in the twilight of my career I am still subject to deployment.

I just got back from Afghanistan about 5 months ago and just got tagged for another short mission there.

I will return on 18 November. Please don't give up hope on what is going to be a great game. I love all the characters and their diversity and this is shaping up to be awesome.

I didn't get time to grab my game books and notes so we'll have to take a short break.

Honestly, I thought I'd done my last hurah, but alas there is something I am uniquely qualified for again. Kind of nice to be needed but after 22 years I want to be home more.

Anyways....bear with me ok...


Thanks,

DH

I'll be able to post to games I'm playing in but not this one since I need the books and dice to make it work.
 

((Yuck, dude. That really bites. But one of my occasional players is in the Navy, so I understand how that goes. But hey, good luck, and hurry back to us. Preferably in one piece ;)

Tar is my frist gnoll character, and I"ve wanted to play a gnoll forever, so you'd better run this game when you get back, lol.))
