Q'Barra: Facing Truth

Sepoto nods vigorously at Darrick's suggestion, his eyebrows arching and eyes rolling slightly when Steadfast's plight is mentioned. He manages to stifle a throaty chuckle at Catherine's remark in deference to her religious convictions.

"I agree, Darrick. Sepoto thinks it best that the less he eyes the knights and warforged err...'clankety' of us seek out the Children's camp. I am willing to use the paths above Sepoto looks longingly at the trees overhead and go alone; I have ways of remaining unseen should the Children be watching us."

"As much as I would like to scout ahead to remain as knowledgable as possible, I think Charles is right. The Children know we are coming for them, it is only a matter of time before we find them or they try and stop us. I am content to plod along, waiting for that to happen. I think we should stick together and alert though, splitting up is just calling for an ambush."

Catherine, Charles and Kaelan all notice that once again, they see an eagle from time to time. What strikes Charles as odd is that the eagle does not appear to be seeking prey, instead it is simply flying around.

Since two of the three "scouts" did not want to scout ahead, the group made a bit more progress before the jungle opened considerably. They could tell that the jungle seemed unnaturally sparse in this area.

As night was beginning to fall, the group had to decide whether to make camp or to press forward.

"Is anyone else seeing that bloody eagle from time to time? I am beginning to think it is one of the Children's spies. Should we take it out next time we see Catherine?" Kaelan's hands are caressing the handle of his double scimitar in anticipation. "Let's find an open space and make camp."
 

I've been seeing 'er too. And she doesn't look hungry either. Just like she is watching us. I think it is a spy as well. If we make camp now, I suggest you sleep near your weapons and armor. We might be getting company tonight.
 

"If that is a spy, then any hope of surprising them is gone at this point. It won't do too much good, but if we can shoot it down, so much the better.
 

"Lovely," Darricks says in a sour tone. "So they likely know our every move. Can they see through its eyes, do you think? Or do they need to speak to it? I've got a bow, after all...'tho I suspect that Trebuchet could bring the bird down with ease, yes?"
 

Trebuchet looks upward at the eagle and nods happily.

"Without doubt! It is flying well within range at its closest approach. A single firing should be plenty to destroy it. That is, if it is an ordinary eagle."

He looks hopefully at Darricks. "Shall I open fire?"
