[LPF] The Road to Tritower

Leira Olren

"I say go for it Francis, just make sure to hightail behind me at least, if anything does pop up. Anything bigger than a house cat and we'll smack it around for you" Leira laughs at her own joke. "Anyone disagree?"

Francis John III, Self-Proclaimed Halflling Prince

Francis puffs out his chest with pride. "Swell, swell, swell.... glad to be of service!" Turning towards Anzaldo, "Sorry gramps, but the leaf stays with me." He huddles the group up arm in arm as best as his short limbs allow. "Now, for each enemy I spy, I will let out one coo of the red-tailed spotted warbler. If I scream like a little girl, come rescue me. Of course that won't come to pass, for I am Francis John III, prince of all halflings!" Looking at Anna now, "Milady, I bid you adieu."

And with that, the halfling scurries into the trees ahead. Well this worked out for me quite nicely. If I get in trouble, I will surely run back to them. If they get attacked, I'll be far enough away. He smirks at his own cleverness as he begins to explore.

"Hmm... Does anyone of you know how red-tailed spotted warbler sounds? Hope it doesn't sound like a little girl screaming" Karra asks the group once Francis is gone.

Leira shakes her head, "No idea, but I do know what a little girl screaming sounds like."

Brandon the Swift

Brandon shrugs as he says : "I can't say that I know what a red-tailed warbler would sound like. Although, I assume it will sound like a bad imitation of a bird."

[sblock=Stat Blocks]Don't forget to include stat blocks with your posts. I went to look up a stat and nothing was there. :(
PS: Update tonight, and you're all doing great on the IC.[/sblock]
 

[sblock=ooc]
Edited mine in. Just a note for mine, I added a line to your format for Attacks of Opportunity because I'll be using unarmed strikes for AoOs even when Leira has her whip blade drawn. She'll just be kicking at people. :p I hope you don't mind I took the colors out as well.

Thanks,

Ana

Despite a piffle from the old man, Francis heads off to scout ahead, while the rest of the group stays together a ways behind. The better part of the day is spent in the brush and tree line, with Leira leading the way for the main group. For most, it is little more than a diversion. However, for Anna, it presents a major difficulty--her stick walking technique has difficulty sensing all the little ground-borne disasters: uneven ground, small animal holes, roots protruding from the ground… you name it, and she has stumbled upon it. After a couple serious stumbles (although no outright falls), her walking speed has slowed, and Francis has to be careful about outrunning the rest of the group and losing contact.

By comparison, the two mules navigate the rougher terrain like champs, sure-footed and tireless. Anzaldo rains down quiet compliments, between occasionally shooting worried glances towards the priestess.

About three quarters through the expected off-road trek (so you're past the halfway point and gaining distance away from Boar's Ridge, but not as far as you'd like to go before hopping back on the round), it finally happens. Anna's foot turns on uneven ground and she screams in pain as she goes down, staff clattering away from her in the process. The forest grows quiet as she immediately realizes what she has done and stifles her vocal suffering, holding her foot with both hands.

Anzaldo holds up his hand, and four mulish ears perk up, as Betsy and Johnna scan the thick foliage for sound. With the close underbrush concealing their presence, small creatures like kobolds could be upon you with virtually no warning.

[sblock=FrancisJohn]You don't get all the flavor text, but Anna was loud enough that Francis could hear her, so he knows something is amiss.[/sblock]
 

Leira Olren

Leira at the front of the formation, is oblivious to Anna's stumbling but hears her cry out even as she tries to suppress it. "Damn it, I was afraid of this..." she mutters. She doubles back to where Anna is and tries to apply some of her first aid knowledge. "Let me see what I can do Anna to try and alleviate some of the pain. I'm not a priest, but I was trained by the best apothecaries Amenthia had to offer."
