Coldtree will search... Follow the fleeing Deviard.

Taka will follow Coldtree...

Tehn assists with searching the area and agrees with the plan to, afterward, trail the survivor.

Searching the bodies and the area outside of the mine proves very rewarding. Each Deviard is quite well supplied and a small amount of ore was deposited at the eating area, probably for later departure. The small amount of ore totals 7 ingots of titanium.

The three fallen miners all have an ocrin buckler but a stolen harnin hammer. Each carried a ration of dried meat, nuts, or seeds. One of them has a bag of some kind of edible root vegetable. The other two, each, have a pouch of dried herbs. One of them has a roadrunner feather talisman, one has a goat beard talisman, and one has a spider fang necklace. One has a lodestone, one a slickstone, one a milkstone, and there are three ingots of unknown metal.

Following after the survivor, it is obvious that she ran for a while, but her stride marks shorten to a walk, though a quick one. It is not likely she will be caught unless she stops to rest.

Tehn says, "If she reaches her friends before we catch her, we will be outnumbered and very likely significantly out matched. Maybe we should formulate a plan."

OOC: Each character receives 5 DP.

Coldtree says to T&T, "This is an information trip. We find out where the larger community is, their numbers and strength, then go back to the miners, drop off the single ingot of titanium, leaving two each for us, then see what they want to do."

Taka nods, "Agreed. Fighting the whole camp is foolish. If we catch her alone, we kill her. If not, we scout their camp as quietly as possible, assessing their numbers and their resources. We should silence ourselves and mask ourselves with the aid of waylines, to ensure that we are not discovered."

... 7 ingots of titanium.

.... Each carried a ration of dried meat, nuts, or seeds. One... bag of some kind of edible root vegetable... two... pouch of dried herbs. One... roadrunner feather talisman, one... goat beard talisman, and one... spider fang necklace. One... lodestone, one slickstone, one milkstone, and there... unknown metal.

Coldtree says to T&T, "This is an information trip..."

Taka nods, "Agreed..."

Tehn adds, "That Kozzog did offer to pay us 20 silver each to get rid of the ones mining. We should get one of those bucklers on the way back as evidence of such."

While the three men are quietly discussing possibilities as they give a mildly forced pursuit, voices are suddenly heard from farther ahead. The voices are Deviard. The path being more downhill ahead, it is possible to get a glimpse of the source of the voices without being anywhere near them.

Apparently the transport team was in the process of returning and the runaway has met up with them. It is obvious that she would be discussing the assault. It seems that the teams were evenly split into groups of four. With one more addition, the returning Deviards now number five. It will take 10 or 15 minutes for them to return to the party's current location.

OOC: Each character receives 5 DP.

 

[Kwargrow]

Coldtree says, "The Deviard are on alert now, so the risk is greater. Let us return to the Kozzog, tell them what we have so far, and rest. I don't object to collecting the bucklers, but I would have thought the talisman's we ground scored would be proof enough. Our contract doesn't say we can't keep the proof of our victory. Certainly we would not have made these ourselves."
When he has time he will attempt to determine proclivity for the Goat Beard talisman.

Taka says, "If they're as close as I think they might be, we might not be able to outrun them. We should ready ourselves, just in case."

... determine proclivity for the Goat Beard talisman.

Taka says, "... we might not be able to outrun them..."

Lunnaya looks at the Deviard down the mountain path and responds to Taka, "They do not appear to be in much of a hurry. We will likely be able to walk, but they are coming this way. I think we should set an ambush. What do you two think on that option?"

Spoiler: Alchemical Sensitivity

Coldtree: 19(ecology) + 31(analysis) + 82(d100) = 132, success
Lunnaya: 34 + 23 + 82 = 139, success

Time: 20 days / 132 = 3 hours, 39 minutes, fail
Time: 20 days / 139 = 3 hours, 28 minutes, fail

GM: When they do eventually find the time, Coldtree is able to determine that the goat beard talisman and Lunnaya is able to determine that the canine tooth necklace, both, can augment some natural abilities, but neither is able to determine the specifics.

OOC: Each character receives 5 DP.

Coldtree looks around for any part of the terrain that can limit the Deviard advantage of numbers.

 

[Tellerian Hawke]

Taka is in agreement, and begins looking for a place to hide, while at the same time attempting to blend in with his surroundings.
