Planetouched Peril

Ahlie watches as the beast takes flight. "What the hell did you say to it?" she asks Kani.

She knocks another arrow, scanning the sky to see if the wolf returns. She is readying another attack on the creature, should it return.

*Kani looks at the retreating wolf, deciding that it is unlikely to return immediately.*

When Ashile asks him, he responds offhandedly: "He asked us to give up our charges. I refused." Continuing with more importance in his voice, he says: "He came as Old Oak warned, as Air fighting Earth. More may come."
 


"In any case, we better get moving." Ashlie then mounts Earth Hammer and begins to get the group ready to move again. Nearing Father Parab, she simply says, "It is gone....for now. We will be on the lookout for it should it decide to return. But for now, we must get underway."

She moves with the group, and nears Kani and says, "What else did it say? I appears that you have come at an opportune time. It is good to have another in this endeavor."

Realizing that her dog is growling at the presence of the wolf. With a quick command, she reverts to Halflinh, knowing that should be enough, she says, "HEEL!" As the dog finally accepts the presence of the wolf, Ashlie turns her attention back to Kani. She instinctively scratches the back of Earth Hammers ears, as she has found he tends to like that.
 

*It left, with no harm to anyone. Praise to Pelor!

"I am glad that beast is gone. we must be vigilant or else we will fail in our charge to these peaceful pilgrims."
 

*Hearing an irritated growl from the riding dog Fianna lets out her long high pitched whistle to call Dorenna to her side as Ashlie commands the dog to heel. Fianna send Dorenna to range ahead and stay vigilant.*

* Approaching Ashlie and Kani, Fianna apologizes for the wolf.*

" My apologizes, I didn’t realize she would cause discord. I did sent her out to range ahead with instructions to alert me if anything is out the ordinary." With that she returns to her post along side the caravan.
 

*At Ashlie's further prompting, Kani thinks of what more to say. Unable to come up with much more of importance, he mostly reiterates what he has already said.*

"He asked us to end our guard. He was told about the caravan and came to stop it. They conflict, as Old Oak said, the pilgrims serving Earth, the cloud wolf Air."

"We should learn more of the conflict." he adds, and looks around to see what the Father is doing.
 

*Father Parab is just finishing helping the others back to their wagons, and walking over to the group.*

"I can't believe this! It's as if we're being punished for some reason," Father Parab says fiercely to the group, obviously shaken, frustrated, and intensely angry.
 

*Kani looks calmly at Parab for a few seconds before responding in his usual slow, unemotional voice.*

"You are. For your faith. The cloud wolf claimed Eldon-Asha would kill all his kind. He came to punish you for that. Is he correct?"
 

"He is an air creature. Air and earth are opposites. Our pilgrimage will bring power to Eldon-Asha, and hence, Earth with gain power. Obviously, he does not want that to happen," Father Parab says, looking affronted and afraid.
