Trusting Barlo, Maui also nodded and headed on towards the hillside where the bard had indicated. "Let us taking te look" he replied.
 

"Can any of us track?", asks the Venzin blade-master. "I have barely any skill in it at all."

"I'm trained in tracking," Ethane begins, catching the slightest glimpse of the hill before looking back to you, "but I'm no expert, by any stretch. There are those in the world with the ability to cover their tracks to the point I cannot follow."

The Ruvalran priest looks over at Maui and Taniwha, then adds, "perhaps these two make a tracking team? Maui seems particularly... hmmm... outdoorsy."

Barlo Hawkins, Human Bard

Barlo shook his head slightly, “Nay, I would have a hard time following a brook downstream. I would presume our rugged companion has that covered well enough, yeah?” He looked at Maui as well.

The bard had his shortbow in hand ever since they left the refugee camp, prepared for sudden attacks. He walked along the new heading, trying to look casual about it all as he attempted to spot the one he saw before.

Taniwha looked surprised. He hadn't thought to begin looking for tracks. He had assumed being a road heading towards the city there would be many tracks, to and from. "Maui can look for tracks" he affirmed, "What tracks I am looking for?"

As they head towards the hill, seeing that his companions felt that danger already might be somewhere nearby his attitude changed to align with theirs. He narrowed his eyes as he brought his mind to focus on what he was seeing as they moved along the road. He prayed the entire time in his sharply spoken native tongue under his breath. Every now and again he would slow and peer towards the hills as well, in case he caught sight of whatever had been observing them beforehand.

If Maui spots anything noteworthy he immediately points it out to the others.

Vincenzo's weapon is drawn and Maui spells are cast as the party begins looking about, with extra attention on the hill. It lies about 100 yards away from you and is not particularly steep, although it could conceivably provide a good vantage point for observing the town, camp, or the flat area the impromptu guards patrol. Some clouds have gathered, making for less than ideal conditions for searching, but generally visibility remains good.

In short order, Barlo and Maui see a cloaked figure rise to a crouching position amongst the concealing bushes up top the hill and slinks down the back side and out of sight, taking advantage of any cover along the way. (Vincenzo and Ethane miss the event which takes only a few seconds.) Very little could be determined from the short sighting, but the figure did seem bipedal and approximately man-sized. No weapons or other carried items are apparent, although some sort of object seems to protrude above the figure's head.

[sblock=Not Combat]We're not in combat unless someone (PC or NPC) takes a specifically aggressive action. However, I'll be taking into account how many actions you are taking or implying in your IC in determining how things go. Also, I assume you are staying together unless you specify otherwise, so the one who takes the most actions may end up holding the group back.[/sblock]
 

Vincenzo's nose is to the ground and bushes to continue looking for clues of passage, his weapon held at the ready, so he misses sighting the lurker about.

Barlo whispered, “Did you see him, Maui? I can make you invisible for a short time and you can run after him without him seeing you.”

The bard was not sure who they saw, but anyone lurking around to observe the sentry patrol and trying to not be seen was more likely to be working for whoever was terrorizing Tritower. At least they were dealing with a spy, and that was someone he wanted to talk with.

Barlo kept walking to the hill after Maui decided if he wanted the spell or not.

[sblock=OOC]If Maui wants, Barlo will cast Vanish. It will last 5 rounds.[/sblock][sblock=Mini Stats]Character Sheet
