Knightmares of Khorvaire

Luthal gnaws on his paw, trying to decide what the best course of action is.

Then Kolarred dismounts his horse and lays his hands close to the horse's wounds, the healing power of his faith coursing out from his fingers. The horse's mood brightens considerably, rising its head high.

"Well, that settles that. We're on to the ruins!"

With the horses at full strength, the group pushes on. A little more than two hours later (Luthal approximating it to be about 4 o'clock in the afternoon or so), the group comes upon the Orien waystation on the left side of the road. The House symbol is displayed prominently on the front, and as they ride past, Zook is able to tell that there are a number of mounts in the stable in back, as well as a couple carts parked next to it as well. The group also notices a clothesline that flaps with some drying shirts, and that each window holds an unlit lantern. It is impossible to tell from the road if anything may or may not be connected with the Emerald Claw.
 

"Zook, time to get to work!" Luthal leaps from his horse. "Get close enough to check out 'dem windows, and I'll back you up. Kolarred, get ready for some action." He gives Kolarred a slap on the back, and prepares to slink off into the woods, hoping to get a good angle on the door in case Zook is spotted.

OOC: Unless there are any objections, Luthal follows about 20 feet behind Zook with weapons drawn. Try to get in a good position to see the door, and hold my throwing axe at the ready.

Edit: Oops, forgot my rolls :heh:

“Here I go” he get of the horse and draw his dagger “watch my back guys”
Zook sneaks over to the waystation peaking in the window being as silent as possible. He tries to make out the number of persons/horses there is in the stable as well.

Kolarred whispers to Zook "Zook, mind taking a look inside. How amusing it would be to caught our little friends with their pants off.

Zook hearing the wisper from Kollared eh turns his head and make a big yaw with a big smile on his lips.
 

The changeling slinks up to the window at the front of the building, moving as quietly as he can. Luthal... 20 feet behind him... is just barely able to make out Zook's footsteps, and he signals to the rogue to be even quieter. Zook immediately slows his walking down, sidesteps a few paces, then handsprings forward and rolls right underneath the window around the corner from the front door. Zook raises his head just ever so slightly to try and get a view into the station, when suddenly he hears a few footsteps walking past the window, and then the front door around the corner to the right begin opening up!!!

Zook drops to his stomach under the window, Luthal leaps into the bushes beside the building, and Kolarred backs the horses even further up the road.
 

Zook

Zook cant really see the person that is about to exit the door there he lies on his belly around the corner. Silent now.... He lies there without making any noise at all... listening if he can hear the person and his or her direction. He also tries to hear other voices. He changes to human shape of very young age.
 

Zook drops to his stomach and cocks his head to listen as intently as he can. He hears quite clearly the door to the station open up... a set of footsteps crunch onto the ground... the door to the station closing... then the sound of the footsteps walking away, probably towards the rear of the building. As Zook gets back on his hands and knees, he suddenly hears a faint tune being whistled from the same direction the footsteps went.

From his spot in the blinds of the bushes, Luthal can get a clear shot of the back of the waystation, and he sees (and soon hears) the woman moving with a basket over to the clothesline in the back. She drops the basket under the shirts, takes each shirt down one and a time and folds them and places them in the basket, then finally picks the basket back up and begin walking back to the front door of the station.
