The forest is quite dense arounds you, although every now and there are breaks in it which afford you a view over the lands around. There is not much to see other than trees. Perhaps some smoke way off in the distance.After a while you see a through the trees up ahead what appears to be a small clearing. Its about 60-70 feet away, the path swings gently to the right here. The forest around you is quite thick, although there is room along the path to ride side by side if you are willing to dodge the odd overhanging branch or two. The left side of the clearing is dominated by a large stone outcropping about 30 feet high. The side of the outcrop breasts onto the clearing with steep drop, but the top appears to taper away gently on the other side. All in all, a bit like a like a stone flooring slab that has been pushed up at one end. Across the clearing, through the gap in the trees along which the path runs, there are more trees about 200 feet on, beyond the entrance to the clearing. The clearing appears to swing around further to the left. An animal wonders into view - a sheep, soon followed by another younger one. A couple of birds call across the clearing. The forest is a little quiet, but the sheep seem content enough. Bendyn: [sblock]Those are no bird calls. Close but not the real deal. You're pretty sure there are least three sources - one on each side of the clearing ahead, one deeper in. Erik has a puzzled look on his face, but no one else seems to have noticed anything unusual. You can't *see* anything unusual yourself.[/sblock]Erik: [sblock]Something just stuck a discordant note, but you can't put your finger on it. Up ahead, Bendyn glances back in your direction.[/sblock]ooc: I have you riding two abreast, Bendyn and Casparan, Erik and Lirithan. No weapons are out, cocked, loaded (which is usual when travelling). Note, travelling with drawn or loaded weapons is generally considered to inidicate hostile intentions. Closer to civilisation, weapons are often carried in wrapped up or otherwise in a manner that would make rapid aggression difficult. Of course, this is pretty far from civilisation.Please give me the relevent bonuses etc when calling for checks and rolls. It helps speed things up at this end.</blockquote>
