Remember the Cavindale! (As his betters, i think we have a duty to help him)

Looking up from his butchering, Toskar heard the elf ask permission to travel with Loske and smiled under his beard.

~Aye and he'll proly have to bow to every tree he passes to make sure they don't get angry at him for walking with a real woman instead of a sapling...~

Loske: (Female/Half Elf/Ranger 3/Mother of 9)

Loske glances at Dog because of his last comment, her glaze says everything that needs to be said so she bites her tongue.

“Swift it’s just Loske and I would be more than happy to have you along and in fact why doesn’t Solomon come along also. The rest of you try and stay out of trouble and be nice to each other…?"

Her muddied but attractive face looks tried and saddened as she pleads to everyone.

Kelkan: Halfling, Wizard

"I never had the chance to present myself", says Kelkan approaching the butchered carcass. "I am Magus Kelkan Softfeet, wizard and alchemist, translator and sage. It was I that found the stream you all talk about and can lead you there. As my fellow here, Master Tomen, I sure can hold still and discreet if need be so we can do some scouting ahead."

Glancing over the trees to the emplacement of the unseen volcano, Kelkan continues. "Albeit versed in geography, I'm afraid I have to announce I am still unable to determine our position. But perhaps some further exploration can lead us to some telltale landmark that would allow me to pinpoint our location."

Starting to lead the way to the stream, Kelkan turns back and announces to Toskar, at the time ripping the skin from the torso of the dead lizard, " If we come across sticks that look appropriate for fashioning into clubs or staves I'll bring them to you, our master smith here. Those are simple, sturdy weapons that I am sure most of us here will be able to use."

As Kelkan finally approaches the location of the stream he falls silent, starts moving stealthily and points to Cale to lead the way.

Edit: English. stream =/= scream

Cale, Halfling Rogue 2/ Transmuter 1

Cale follows Kelkan's lead. "Thank you for showing the way, Kelkan. Nice to see a fellow halfling" He smiles. As they near the stream, Cale hides and moves silently (+14,+12) to get a good view of the stream and anything up or down the shore of interest.
 

Loske: (Female/Half Elf/Ranger 3/Mother of 9)

“Good then its settled! Well almost, Solomon no offensive but stay here with Edward and the dwarves and help them in anyways possible? She gives a small pleading smile to the large giant.

“Oh Speaking of clubs and such, maybe you guys can pull the femur out and fashion it into a club? Anyhow the rest of us are off it seems.”
 

Edward Talmed

"Here let me help you with that lizard, Toskar." Edward picks up a dagger and starts to skin the lizard. Looking at the dwarf he recently healed, "I don't think I caught your name?"
 

Solomon Kreel

Solomon scrunches up his face as he tries to follow the repartee between the others. He watches the river scouts move out silently. Seeing no obvious threats, he'll take a walk down the beach, doing one last search of the bodies for anything useful. He's particularly keen to find a bow and arrows, but anything else will do as well. Afterwards, he'll join Toskar in cutting the meat.
 

"Sure, I'd like to come with you."

As the reconnaissance group leaves for the river Jobis accompanies them.

Looking over his companions he proposes:

"Even if we all have some ability not to be seen, as group we are to many to move inconspicous. Why don't we split up into pairs? We could explore more area and still be safe ..."

[OOC: cale, with a speed of 7.5' you'll be slowing the group down or be left being until the rest of the group also employs the same skills ... just a reminder.]
 

Kelkan: Halfling, Wizard

Accompanying Cale's progression with an intense stare, Kelkan wonders about the mission.

~Yes, we were sent as a scouting team. To get behind enemy lines and garner intelligence, knowledge about there operations, numbers, supply lines and command figures. It is likely there would be a ship to get us back to the officers of the kingdom's army. Will they still send the ship? Will there be any kind of rescue mission? We are in good position to get information if we landed in the right piece of land. Its just a matter of not leaving traces that we survived the wreckage...~

His thoughts are interrupted by Jobis' comment. He looks at him and shakes his head, disaggeeing. Then makes a motion with his hand indicating Calm, patience, wait. And hopes the half-elf will be patient enough for Cale to make any sign that the path is clear before splitting in a different direction.
 

Butchering proceeds quickly because of the vast swathes of meat between bone. quickly as in maybe 3 hours. the meat is rippled and smells strongly. it seems quite edible.

kelkan and kale take off upsteam, leading the group in their slow but silent fashion. twice they have to point and make faces at one another when they come across tracks. huge, obvious, no-ranger-needed 3 toed tracks once, big enough for kelkan to lay in, the next are elephantine and nearly perfectly round. these even the half orc could lay in. when they are staring at one another over this track, trying to look concerned but not worried it hits them STEW!

someone ahead is cooking stew, and now that they have noticed that they also recognize threshing sounds. the rhythm of a rice beater if they know their stew pots at all.another few feet reveals just the upper edge of a thatch roofed hut.

soloman wonders up the beach in the opposite direction of that which has been explored. he finds the obvious detritus of a ship being destroyed, lotsa of wooden chunks and splinters, bits of sail cloth and railing. then he notices a box. it is bobbing just of shore. it is the size and shape of a smallish treasure chest, but floats high in the water.
