In the Middle of...Somewhere

[Blarkon Dragonslayer]

Valmun looks at the edifice, and than at Victor. Then he looks at the structure again, and chuckles. Shaking his head, he heads toward the wall. If something is there waiting, he figures it's already seen them, and if not, then who cares if they get there in a bunch or one at a time?

 

[stonegod]

Jan, who has been walking behind Yarra, says nothing about the edifice. Instead, he seems to wait for Yarra's thoughts on things.

 

[Ankh-Morpork Guard]

When Valmun gets close to the so-called wall, nothing jumps out at him. In fact, as he gets closer, he can tell that a great deal of whatever the structure is is actually half-buried in the sand. The wall looks like it was actually a great deal higher, but the sand seems to have risen higher than when it was built or the structure itself has sunk.

Beyond the pillars, walls, and other random outcroppings of black stone, though, there isn't anything that can be identified, nor do there seem to be any carvings on the stones. But once Valmun reaches the wall, which is about waist high, he notices a break in the trees. It looks like a path, though crudely cut, into the thick jungle, though the lack of sunlight penetrating the canopy of the trees makes it hard to tell if it goes any real distance inland.

Slim walks up next to Valmun, running his hand along the wall. He lets out a high pitched whistle, "Well this is interesting. It looks like it goes deep into the sand. What a shame it is down there and not useful to us, this could have been a wonderful shelter. Most likely was to someone."

Yarra says nothing on the walk along the beach (ooc: because I'd been away for a couple of days) and stands at the buried ruins, looking toward the jungle and the faint path heading into it.

Victor

Victor strides towards the ruins, and gives the short wall a light kick. "Well at least we know there was some sort of civilization here. Perhaps," Victor extends his arm pointing his spear at the crude path, "that will lead us to better shelter. Be on our guards though, we don't know who made this, or what would be watching the trail."

 

[stonegod]

Jan followed meekly close behind the silent Yarra. This was far beyond his world of experience. Realistically, he knew one thing---how to fight. This... freedom... would take adjusting.

 

[Legildur]

Seeing that the group's decision was to follow the path, Yarra starts down the trail. "I'll lead," he says over his shoulder. "Just give me a bit of space to work with."

He first stops to check the ground for tracks.

Yarra checks his crossbow is loaded and pushes out about 30-50ft in front of the group - but always within visual sight of the main group. He moves tentatively, carefully watching the surrounding jungle for signs of anymore undead. (OOC: Move Silently at half speed) and occasionally checking for signs of more tracks.

Edit: Not sure if the environment also allows him to Hide as he moves, but he will do so if possible.

 

[ethandrew]

Slim pulls out his rapier and begins his slow following of Yarra. He cautiously looks around the path and into the dense trees, his grip tight, knuckles whitening. While this island destination was not necessarily planning for when he first walked aboard the ship, Slim now felt confident any possible pursuants would be well off his track now.

Victor

Victor starts out, about 30 feet behind Yarra, leading the remainder of the group. He stands in the middle of the path, spear balanced on his shoulder, watching the shadows of greenery.

OOC: both auras still up and affecting everybody.
