The half-orc's horse shifts and snorts. "Easy." He paths the horse on the neck. The animal senses the tension in your voices."I can't make a fog cloud right now, but I can put up a wall of thorns," Caerth says. "If they choose to fight, I can call lightning from the sky or produce an ice storm."Aureus keeps her focus on Lady. The horse is visibly distressed. "Easy girl," she says."Don't forget that not all of our horses are trained to fight," Aureus adds. "We could force them, but I'd rather not risk it." She sighs. "But, these people might not give us a choice.""They've already faced a lot," Caerth reassures her. "But, I can cast traveller's mount. They won't balk at taking us into combat, but they won't attack themselves. They also will move swiftly."No one objects to to Litrix taking the lead.The person on the hill remains standing still as Litrix approaches. The man is dressed in chain armour, which looks like it it has been patched and reinforced with old leather. His hands, arms and legs are wrapped in white cloth, and he wears old worn boots. He wears a deep hood and a metallic skull mask. A battered metal shield is strapped to his left arm, and he wields an equally battered longsword in his other hand. The blade is pointed at the ground. He lifts the blade and points it at Litrix."You should not be in these lands, knight!" the man replies loudly.The other people hiding in the hills come out of hiding. There are ten of them in total including the man speaking to Litrix. Five to the east and four to the south.Litrix can see that the man's body is scarred and possibly diseased. The man's hands look gaunt and his eyes are blood red.Aureus turns to look at the people in the hills. All of them have deep hoods and metal skull masks. Their equipment looks like it has been dragged out of the earth. There is menace in their movements. Several have dirty bandages wrapped around their torsos as well as their arms and legs.Lady shifts uncomfortably at the presence of these foes. There is fear in the animal's eyes. "I don't like this... there is something unnatural about these people."The man on the hill glares at Litrix. "The life you radiant is sweet. Your souls will feed the brood."OOC: Roll for initiative.[Spoiler][ATTACH=full]366784[/ATTACH][/Spoiler]</blockquote>
