[IC] The Protectors of Greensfen (Part II)

[The Digger]

"Great minds think alike, dear Karis. Just what I was planning to do. Unfortunately I need to get a little closer. Would you be so kind as to scout a path free of broken branches for me? I don't need to get much closer, but a few more yards would be useful."

[sblock=OOC]I don't actually know how far we are from Todarr but Ghost Sound only has a range of 10.[/sblock]

I'm going to apply some fudge factor and assume your magical whispering will work in this instance regardless of range.

Thanks to Karis clearing a few more yards of debris, Joshua moved slightly closer to Todarr and activated his Mage powers.

"To-darr? Should we carry on with this or should we just finish him now? We probably cannot follow proper;ly in daylight."

Todarr will gesture with an open palm towards the party "hold back", then a thumb's up "everything is going well"

Karis rolls her eyes impatiently, but nods agreement.

After checking the area is safe, Rellek will offer to take first watch.

 

[nerdytenor]

The party rests without incident under the cover of one of the trees.
As the sun rises, the last watch quickly wakes the rest of the party, and you all lie flat on the ground under the tree.

The morning light reveals that you have very little cover indeed from Todarr and the enemy. You can see Todarr quite clearly hunched near the sleeping form of the mage. Following them undetected will be nigh impossible unless you are very far behind - the land here is too flat, and the trees are unlikely to provide enough cover in the day. If they continue the way they have been going, however, they should hit what looks like a series of hills in a few miles, at which point you should be able to follow more closely.

[sblock=Todarr]
You watch for a few hours as Tromolden sleeps. You wake him for his turn at watch, and just as you are settling into sleep it seems, he wakes you again. You are awake for the first light in the east as Tromolden slumbers.

"We need to find a hiding place where we can see where they enter those hills," whispers Karis. She starts looking around for exactly that.

 

[nerdytenor]

[sblock=OOC Karis and friends]
It doesn't look like you'll be able to follow them until they reach the hills. It's hard to judge the distance exactly with so much similar terrain, but it looks like the hills are about an hour away. You could hide under the tree in the dirt until they crest the first hill and then run after them...

Rellek wasn't at all happy with what the rising sun was showing them of their options. But seeing little chance of hitting the hills before the mage and Todarr, perhaps waiting was their only viable option.
