She is certain that someone or something is watching them intently. At first, she doesn't see anything. But then, she sees and hears two of them to the east in the high hills. They are only about forty-five to fifty feet away. While they look humanoid, she can't tell what they are in the shimmer of the heat haze.[OOC]<a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=290110" target="_blank">Aureus - Listen and Spot checks: 1D20+11 = [17]+11 = 28</a><a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=290110" target="_blank">1D20+11 = [16]+11 = 27</a>[/OOC]Aureus turns to the others to warn them of what she sees and hears, but then her eyes snap to more movement on the horizon to southeast and south. More of them. She notes Quinn preparing for a fight. Does he see them too?She taps Angus on the leg and motions towards the hill with her head. She doesn't want these foes to know that she's seen and heard them. Then, she sees more to the west and southwest."Definitely a place you don't want to get ambushed," she whispers to Angus and Caerth. She looks back towards Maur standing a few feet behind the centaur. She tries to warn them all clandestinely. "How does it look back there?"OOC: <a href="http://roll.coyotecode.net/lookup.php?rollid=290112" target="_blank">Aureus - DC 15 Bluff check (secret message): 1D20+4 = [19]+4 = 23</a> (success)Before Aureus can warn Phar, the paragon wizard has set Featar into motion. The hawk is soon soaring high above to scout the way ahead.Caerth whistles to Screech to fly up out of danger. The half-orc druid speaks to Aureus while looking up at the soaring owl. "What do you see?""There's are at least nine of them. Humanoids, I think. I can't tell exactly. The horizon is fuzzy in this heat. There are two east of us, about fifty feet away. Another two to the southeast, farther away, but still too close for comfort. Three more south of us. One by that sharp crag and two others that seem to be lying flat on two of the higher hills. A bit to your right. There all about 100 feet away." Aureus gets down from her horse and pats Lady on the head. "There is another one to the west. It is standing on those high hills. It's almost like he, or it, is not trying to hide.""Do they know you've seen them?" Caerth asks."I don't know. They seem to be waiting."OOC: What do you want to do?[HR][/HR]Meanwhile...Featar wings southward towards Ralix's Cross. The hawk scans the ground for any sign of hidden movement but what the bird senses is the presence of several thorps surrounding the stone formation, as well as metal crosses spread around the base of the cross. A strong-looking wooden staircase winds around the cross with several stone platforms carved into the natural recesses of the rocky landmark. On these platforms are wooden X-shaped crosses. Most of them are empty but a few have decaying skeletons strapped to them.There are three visible thorps located around the cross. They sit in low fertile dales surrounded by green hills. One is south of the cross while the other two are east and northeast of the sacrificial site. Crude wood towers stand in the green hills around each thorp. The southerly thorp is the closest to Ralix's Cross while the other two stand more apart from the site. The thorp to the east of Ralix's Cross is the largest of the three. A large stone tower stands in the centre of the community, which might be more akin to a true village.[OOC][USER=15882]@TaranTheWanderer[/USER], I rolled a 23 for Featar's Spot check over on the Discord. How high is he going to be flying? I need to know for spotting distances.[/OOC]</blockquote>
