PoPP: Souls For Smuggler's Shiv [01]

"Do you know that for certain, Leif?" asks Abraxis. "His actions in leaving us prove his recklessness. And tracking him through this jungle with very limited supplies? If you want to look for him, I'll go, since I'm not about to head off on my own...but I think it puts the rest of the group in danger. We will be wasting our resources to find someone that doesn't want to be found."

 

[HolyMan]

"I think everyone should decide if it is as you say." Leaf says looking a little bewildered. "If it will put them at risk then they should decide whether or not they wish to take it."

Lerissa

Lerissa chimes in, "I think Abraxis is right. He thinks he is either smart enough to be off on his own, or fool enough...I'm not sure which. Either way, he is not contributing to our group so that says something about how he feels about us. He will either get himself killed, or will come back soon enough. We can leave a note for him when we leave so he can follow if he if he decides to come back and join us.

Leif, why are you so tired? Are you OK?"

 

[HolyMan]

Just as Lerissa asks Leaf suppresses yet another yawn. Looking a bit embarrassed he says simply, "I didn't sleep well. Guess I am still a little shook up from what has happened to us. I will ... *yawn* ... Sorry, I will be fine. Thank you."

Jask and Aerys quickly agree either to stay at the camp while you look for Ishirou or to help move the camp to the indicated cove. Sasha and Gelik complain about both courses of action but are, of course, unable to provide suggestions of their own . . . they'll likely fall in with whatever the majority decides to do.

The large man wakes up slowly after snoring loudly, the sound of wood being sawed, somehow he is able to sleep so soundly despite the situation. Once the others bring up their suggestions to him, Auron agrees that the man has gone off to his own devices and it seems a waste of precious time to chase him. The cove seems like the best idea to him.

 

[Rhun]

"So it seems that we are agreed," says Abraxis. He claps Leif on his large shoulder. "Sorry, my friend. But I'm sure if Ishirou wants to find us, he will. We won't be difficult to follow, to be sure."

With that, the aasimar moves to help strike camp, so that they can get underway soon.

 

[HolyMan]

Leaf sighs and nods his head in agreement. He helps to break camp and is soon ready. He uses his trident in one hand like a walking stick and carries his compass in the other.

"I'll take the rear guard. I'm tired but not asleep," he says to the others as the get set to move out. "I'll let you know if we stray off course."

Camp is broken, and everyone is mentally prepared for the arduous trek to the selected cove. With high hopes you set out. Soon enough the heat of the day - forgotten yesterday as you were able to spend the worst of it in the relative comfort of your camp - makes itself felt. Jask strides through the jungle in relatively high spirits, and Gelik seems unaffected by the sweltering heat; however, Sasha and Aerys are soon dragging their feet, struggling to make it up the hills and to control their descent on the downward slopes.

[sblock=OOC]Kindly make a Survival check to stay on track. I'll assume that Leaf is the main check (he's got the highest bonus, though not by much), the others will Aid Another.

There are two coves on the map to the S/SE of you and I can't remember which you are making for. The northern one is slightly smaller but is only about a mile from your current location (2 hours). The southern is larger, but is a good 4 miles (8 hours of steady travel) away.[/sblock]

[sblock=Matt] Matt, I prepped Gellik the night before for your check. Not sure if you did this in private or I missed it but it might help us out. [/sblock]

Lerissa seems to be in good spirits but extremely quiet as they move, barely a word is spoken from her lips.
