[IC] The Odd Job

[jmucchiello]

Ana snaps her hand away from the fence. "What have I done?" she mutters. She puts a foot on the running board of the cart and turns to give the woods one more look before climbing fully onto the cart.

OOC: Perception [roll0]

With all of the cargo safely stowed, Galdar jumps aboard.

Ana can't see anything her eyes struggling to see into the darkness.
The caravan takes off leaving the odd scene behind them the rest of the journey is uneventful but tense as the caravan moves on the tree's begin to show scorch marks and have chunks missing from them.

The trees eventually vanish all together and the scene ahead is surreal, the ground is black and cracked a sword perhaps 8ft in height defiantly sticks out if the otherwise flat land scape armour and arms are strewen everywhere their owners long since decayed or eaten by animals. In the air the smell of sulphur and burning flesh clings to your nostrils trying its best to ingrain itself into your nose hairs. The horses rear up as soon as their hooves touch the blackened earth despite all of Graans goading they will not budge."Grab a crate we walk not far to go now. You scrawny one stay here guard the crates." Gheedon points at Aloy.

OOC: Its about 7pm the sun is on its final decent, its been about 20hours since the plant attack. Short rests are cool. If some one can figure out how to sleep on a moving wooden cart bumping through the forest with no room to lie down you can have a long rest.

 

[jmucchiello]

"Not far to go? Go where?" Ana stands up on the cart and looks into the wasteland. "Maybe the horses know more than you do about this shortcut of yours."

 

[Azurewraith]

"sassy, I like em sassy, over there is hole that hole leads to a passage and that passage leads to gold! Now get carrying,time is money."

 

[jmucchiello]

"A hole? What hole?" Ana looks. "So if the plan involved going underground, you knew the horses would not go through?"

OOC: Perception check for "the hole": [roll0]

 

[Azurewraith]

Ana can't see the hole but the plain stretches as far as the eye can see and is full of obstructions.

"More of a passage just past that oversized sword over there. I can't help but notice the lack of cargo in your arms..." all the delays are really starting to make Gheedon much less tolerable to be around than usual.

 

[jmucchiello]

"I can't help but notice the lack of brains in your head. How long is the passage that I still can't see and what's carrying all these crates on the other side?"

OOC: Is Gheedon picking up a crate? if not, "And where's your crate?"

"And I don't see Graan stepping out onto the plain of death there with much enthusiasm."

 

[Azurewraith]

"I like sass. The passage takes a few hours, then its about an hour to town." Hearing his name Graan grabs a crate and starts trundling off.

 

[jmucchiello]

"So eight hours round trip. And three total trips because I don't think anyone is carrying two of these crates let alone three at a time."

To Aloy, "Good luck sitting here in the woods for six hours by yourself."
