Orland makes a quick scan of the clearing to see if there are any watchers and then moves over to the mysterious newcomer. "Aye then, let's be off."
 

The man picks something up from the ground and something from his pockets. He strikes a match-like thing against a tree and it flares up. While he uses the stick to ignite the bullseye lantern in his other hand, you catch a sight of nicely dressed man with a rapier on his side...

...and a tail behind him.

His shape blurs back into the shadows as he turns the now-lit lantern towards you. Then he puts the lantern down on the ground. "The last one picks that up. We're going to the "headquarters", which is few hours walk away."

Then he starts walking to the forest.
 

"That long? Well, we better hurry, we don't want to catch any critters on the way."

OoC: Two little elephants marched along, walking down the sunny road.
'Cause the walk was a nice one, they asked another to join them.
Three little elephants marched.... :D
 

"Travelling the woods at night an' with a lantern!" Orland chuckles to himself. "This crew are either city folk or real confident like."
 

Timothy Will pick up the lantern as he moves last. He'll look for the rapier and tail man with the lantern. if he spots him he will call out to him, saying:

"I see you there in the shadows, come, join, make yourself known!"

Otherwise he'll just walk along for as long as it takes.
 

You easily spot the tail-man, and he seems to be actually waiting for that. If you don't include the tail, he looks like a normal human. There just seems to be something eerie about him. He's wearing fine red-black clothes, which seem to emphasize this."Just keep that lantern towards me and I'll try to get us out of here. Try not to trip on anything, as there's quite dense underbrush in this forest."

Timothy will keep the lantern pointed atthe tail man and will follow. He's getting anxious yo know what's going on now.
 

You follow the tail-man in the forest, and it seems that Orlands mumbling about city-folk might be right. The tail-man doesn't seem very accustomed to walking in dense forest, and he's cursing the underbrush from time to time while walking.

However, you would have much harder time walking in the forest without the lantern's light, as the forest is already dark as a darkness spell.

After not-too-long walking, you can see the edge of the forest because of the moonlight, and the tail-man tells you to close the lantern's shutter.

After you follow the tail-man out of the forest, you see about 100 feet wide river near you. The tail-man stops for a few seconds, and then sprints towards a small tree at the riverbank. Once he gets there, he curses and turns towards you.

"Great. Somebody has stolen my boat..."
