Off the path
The three travellers lead their horses through the trees. Necessity forces them to stay close enough to the path to see it. If they lost sight of the path and it turned away without them noticing, then the three men could find themselves wondering the hills for a long time. On a couple of occasions the path dissappears from sight, and they are forced to cut back sharply to find it again. Each time it had just been obscured by the trees and undergrowth.
But otherwise the going is fairly easy. There is enough space between the trees to lead the mounts with little difficulty, and the undergrowth is not so heavy as to cause significant problems. Bendyn has a few difficulties with his lance, the weapon being a little awkward to maneuver through the trees at times.
The day is quite pleasant. The forest is quiet except for the bird song and the occasional rustling of some small animal in the trees or undergrowth.

Ghosted: Casparan Atavar, male human Warrior priest initiate
After a couple of minutes, Casparan speak up.
"Something bothers me about that last trap. Why go to all that trouble and only use a thunderstone? Why not something lethal like the last trap?"
After a moments reflection he adds something.
"And the trigger was too far from the stone to really be effective? The spear trap was well set up. It just doesn't seem to make much sense."

Casparan looks at Bendyn for a moment.
"Thats not a very comforting thought. I think that the noise could be heard from quite a distance, depending on the thickness of the forest and the lay of the land. Further at night.
" I agree with you, we should move on quickly."

Encounter in the woods
The three travelers trudge on through the woods. Its easy enough going, but its impossible to travel in a straight line, which slows them down somewhat. At a rough guess, they have travelled about half a mile from the clearing as the crow flies.
Forty feet up head a small figure arises from the undergrowth with a barking cry. Moments later several more do so as well. The nearest of them is only twenty feet away. Two of them are much larger than the rest. They are man sized, although also reptillian in appearance. They carry heavy shields marked with strange symbols and a couple of javlins each. The other, smaller creatures carry the same weapons as those at the clearing, crossbows and spears.
A shower of bolts and javlins rains down on the travellers. Several bolts clatter off Jack's armour but leave him unharmed. The javlins fall harmlessly to ground around Bendyn and Casparan.
End Surprise round
ooc: Initiative please, and reponses.
ooc: -2 for missile and 2H weapon attacks due to trees; cover is plentiful, if you want it just state you are taking it.
