J. Alexander's Four Lands Part 2, redux

[J. Alexander]

The Comission

Tetsu moves to scout the grove and discovers a roughly 100x100 foot grove of appel and rowan trees, most of which have low hangin branches. The floor is of soft dirt around the trees and low cut grass. With the exception of appels on the ground and birds in the trees, the grove apperars deseted. Checking for signs,, Tetsu only finds animal prints in and around the grove.

Tetsu

Tetsu will step to the edge of the grove and signal his peers that everything seems clear. He will continue to stay alert for trouble, however.

The Comission

Settling into the grove, the small party sets about attending the young man....thanks to Brother Luciens healing, there appears to be no visiable wounds on him though considerable brusing is still visiable......

As the party watches,,,,Tetsu see's another distant smoke plum coming from the north...set against the darking sky......

Tetsu

"Another smoke plume, fellas. Looks like whoever they are they're raiding north. Of course, it might not be the same people . . ."

Angelo

"Do we ride or rest and start again tomorrow?"

[sblock=For the DM]"Bodie, have a quick look and see what that some is about. Don't get close just fly high and in that direction until you can see and them come back quickly. I'll dice up some nice fruit while you're gone."[/sblock]

For Angelo
[sblock]A voice say inside his head "Why dont you send that good for nothing beast...oh no he is to good to do work for you...hmmmmmmmmmmppppppppppp" The then upset bird flys off. In about 15 minutes, Angelo is greated with another "I suppose you want me to tell you whati see....."...bodie the shows a rather prosperous farmstead burning..the silo's and barns are also aflame...there is no sight of any indiviudals about.[/sblock]

Lucien Montrose

HAving settled the injured teenager into as comfortable position as possible, Lucien ponders the situation. "Our charge here will probably not awaken for several hours. While his wounds are healing, his body and spirit need the time to rest and recover. I think we at least need to scout out this other attack, if only to offer succor to anyone still alive. I would feel better if there was some way possible to continue to monitor the lad while we looked about over there. Too bad we don't have our friendly wolf with us, I would feel completely comfortable in leaving him to keep watch."

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Tetsu

"While I feel the need to scout and aid any survivors of the next raid, I also think we should be aware of our limits. Sadly, I believe we are too small a party to divide our forces at this point. If we had some way to scout the next raid while at the same time guarding our current charge, we could take a look. But if we divide now, neither party will likely be powerful enough to handle a band of raiders and we'll be too far apart to aid each other in time."

 

[Scotley]

Angelo

"I can tell you that another properous farmstead is burning. There are no obvious attackers or survivors to be seen though either could be hiding." With a shrug he adds, "A little birdie told me."

The Comission

As dusk begins to fall and the party considers it's next move.....the sky to the north west shows a raging fire....what has to be a silo is ablaze and standing like a candle against the darking sky. Judging from it's location the burning silo is somewhat to the west of the one they are currently pondering.
