* Keeping quite so that the real experts can discuss the plans of their travel Samara answers reassuringly but honestly when her time comes.*

“The darkness has never been an issue for me but my eyes are untrained for the desert.”

"Night it is then, lets get everyone packed and ready to move. I will volunteer to take the lead with Seif. I am at home in the desert and can take care of myself, as you saw with the giant. Anyone wish to take rear guard? Now this is something I can sink my teeth into, leading an expedition through the desert.

"I agree to travel at night, the moon will light our path easily enough," Suhayb points out. "And the sooner we get going, the better. I wouldn't bet that this oasis is easy to find or through endless wastes. Five gold says we're going to have to either battle, evade, or charm our way through packs of jackles and ronus, bands of human and jackelmen bandits, and spirits of the dead,"

"Your bet will not be necessary, Suhayb," Jibril replied, "for I am certain that there will be some trials on this journey, and yours do not seem unreasonable. We should divide ourselves among the heirs, to provide aid and support where necessary."

Jibril turned to the others and spoke. "I will volunteer to be rear guard, assuming I can travel with someone who can see reasonably well in the darkness," Jibril offered.

"I can see clearly in the dark, so I will go in the front," Suhayb says, the flamekissed man going to help organize those that have mounts. "And that leaves me to guard the flanks," Orman says easily, the gemchild's skin glinting the moonlight. "Let's get going."

[OOC - Can I get a marching order please? You can get water from the oasis, and food from the copious amount untouched at dinner. Also, who has mounts aside from Shalah?]

 

[Lady Shatterstone]

[OOC: Nafeesa has her animal company who doubles as a mount; Dahad the pony. As for a marching order she will go where she is needed]

*Nafeesa gathered what she and her animal friends would need. She checks her gear and prepares the pony to leave. Turning to rest of the group she asks those guarding where they would like her. She opalescence skin glowing lightly in the moon light.*

" Jibril where do you think will be the best place for me to travel? You had mentioned traveling with someone who sees fairly well in the dark." She asks shyly.

Abdul-Hadid Human/Genie-kin Scout

OOC:While I doubt he will be used as a mount, Abdul does have Sirrocco. He has already volunterred to scout ahead, so I guess that would put him and Suhayb in the front.

"I advise we pack all the food and as much water as we can. Then rest till the moon rises and be ready to move out. Does anyone else have anything else to add before we go to our rest?"

"Jibril where do you think will be the best place for me to travel? You had mentioned traveling with someone who sees fairly well in the dark," she asks shyly.

"I mean you no disrespect, most honorable Nafeesa. But, as much as I would like have you travel with me as rear guard, I would think that you would be better suited near the middle of our caravan," Jibril stated.

He explained further, "It would appear that many of our esteemed company are without steeds, so we will be traveling at a normal walking pace. It would seem that you have a way with animals and most will be traveling in the middle of our caravan. You would be invaluable in ensuring they would not stray. Also, if either the front or the rear is attacked, your healing abilities and martial prowess would be close at hand."

"I would believe that you, most honorable Samira, would be well suited to travel with me as rear guard . . . that is if you do not mind," Jibril stated, inquiringly.

"After your explaination I am inclinded to agree. The middle would indeed be the best place for me. Thank you for your knowledge." She bows to the guide and smiles sweetly.

*Returning to Dahad and Adham she leads them to where the others are lining up and takes her place in the middle. Adjusting the gear on the pony and trying to keep a rein on the excited dog she waits to see where the others will form up.*

*Abdul and Sirrocco will be the advance scout, with Suhayb leading the caravan. Tariq finds his cat to be well, feasting like a lord on the remains of supper. Jumping into his backpack, Tariq can take a place near the back of the party. The group readies themselves, taking copious amounts of food and water, and then following the glowing path that leads them through the mazes of the white halls. Eventually they come out into desert, brilliant moonlight shining down on them. They find they are not in the deepest desert, as they can see some of the small desert plants, and the faint tracks of desert foxes and other creatuers.*

*Orienting themselves to the north, Abdul and Suhaby lead the way through the expanse of sand. It's getting close to false dawn when Abdul spots trouble however. There's a corpse of a ronus slightly off of their course. The corpse looks freshly dead, but there are no scavengers around it yet. That's rather odd. That's extremely odd. That could mean there's something else around that's scaring off everything else...*

Jibril a'Mussan (Human, Windwalker)

As others raised their concerns, Jibril concentrated and activated Touchsight, not wanting something unseen to sneak up on them.

He briefly considered True Sight, but decided against it. Being a new power Jibril had discovered within himself, he was unwilling to commit to the drain it would take to activate for something . . . unknown.
