[ic] nameless III: lost and found

[DrZombie]

Shut up Nate. Shut up.

"Yeah, good idea, Fredar. I'll join you. We need to know what's going on"

I told you to shut up, Nate. Bugger.

[sblock] Fenix gets ready to move fast and loosens his weapons, but watchs the Landcarl for his queue. [/sblock]

 

[Seonaid]

[sblock]Garival studies Fenix out of the corner of his eye. He eases a bullet from his pouch and readies the sling. Are these with the goblins? His eyes narrow. This could be bad . . . Without moving, he shifts his gaze to the ruins, squinting in the dawn light. [Spot on ruins: +7]
OOC: Which way did the orcs go? Toward/away from us/the ruins?[/sblock]

In the hill top ruins.

"Then you believe her, too, Craddoc. .... No point in killing her before we know if she's an ally or not, just because she doesn't want a Goblin Overlord knowing she's consorted with the enemy.

"All right Fredar," Craddoc mutters. "Keep your shirt on. I don't know why you're getting all het up. She's just a goblin for Ke ... goodness sake." But he leaves it at that, leaving Fredar to finish what he has to say to Cromwell.

<To Cromwell> .... Keeping the Council up to date, while still acting on the information you got on your mision before it was too late."

Cromwell smiles a little, but there is no joy in it.

"I'm not going back to Killingtom."

Cromwell glances in Hadarook's direction, but says nothing. He returns his attention to the group.

"Those who wish to may return. But I am going to go on."

Cromwell turns on his heel and stalks back to the Shaman.

"I will find this place you speak of. I will do what I can to stop it from being plundered."

Meanwhile ...

Seonaid and khavren: [sblock]ooc: if the ruins are at 12 o'clock, the two head off in the direction 10 o'clock and half past one respectively. Currently they are about 60 feet ahead of you.

As Garival and Fenix loosen weapons, the group ahead rises smoothly to their feet and begin heading directly up the slope. They disappear smoothly, and in almost complete silence, in among the trees up ahead.[/sblock]

 

[Maerdwyn]

ooc: I may be just confused and/or forgetful - do we have the information we need to sek out this temple (where i gernerally is, what it looks like) or know anything about what the object we're looking for is? Or do we still need to ask for that information from the Shaman?

In the hill top ruins

The Shaman releases a long slow breath. She smiles at Cromwell, and nods.

"It is good. From here you must travel northwest to the swamp that lies between the forest we call home and the mountains to the north. There you will find ..."

Behind the shaman one of the riders straightens in his saddle. He turns his head to one side, then to other. His worg moves uneasily beneath him.

Behind Nate and Fredar, Hadarook mutters, "He's heard something. I thought I heard something a couple of minutes ago."

The shaman's worg, which has til now remainded still at her feet, now surges to its feet, its hackles up and it's teeth barred. The shaman mutters something to the animal, then throws a questioning glance at Cromwell. Cromwell shakes his head.

The shaman says something to the animal, and it pads off in the direction of the western wall, sniffing the air.

 

[Maerdwyn]

Fredar looks around to see if he is able to spot anything out of the ordinary (other than the goblins, worgs, and ruins all around him, that is.).

 

[khavren]

[sblock] Fenix looks at the figures spreading out in front of them and when he notices the Landcarl looking at him mouths "Ambush formation" He carefully fits a bolt into his crossbow, trying to keep quiet. [/sblock]

 

[Seonaid]

[sblock]Garival nods grimly. Could be. After a few heartbeats watching the landscape, he motions slowly to Fenix. He then moves as silently as possible forward. He tries to make his movements erratic, no constant pace or heading. Be an animal, be the wind, he thinks silently. If there seems to be any movement from the orcs, or anyone else, he will freeze in his tracks.

OOC: Spot +7; Move Silently +6[/sblock]
