[QUOTE="Manzanita, post: 3243706, member: 10109"] Beamer and Banion attempt last ditch efforts to bring down the fleeing assassin. But shooting is made extra-difficult by the forest which he has now entered. He is soon gone. Regrouping, the team takes stock. Bill's brother, Tom, his mother Mary and his sister emerge and begin to grieve. They soon retreat to their quarters. Reinert is found to have passed out in a hammock, and appears to have simply slept through the entire wolf encounter. The group returns to the stable where they find their enemy's mounts. There are two light warhorses, with saddle, bit & bridle, saddlebags, and miscelaneous equipment. Nothing of particular value. Only one thing unusual is unearthed. Pinned to the inside of one of the saddlebags is an iron symbol, about as big as the palm of a man's hand. It depicts a curved blade grasped in the talons of a bird. The bird seems wounded. Knowledge(geography) DC 12 [sblock] The equipment seems to have been made in Monemvassia.[/sblock] Wolf howls are heard occationally over the next few hours, but fade away soon enough. The group sets watches, but no other threats emerge. As Boog lies in his hammock reflecting upon the events of the day, he dwells on his brief intrusion into Tole's mind. Reading the mind is not like reading a book. Although words often appear, there are also images, emotions, and urges. Focusing on the images that he saw, he realizes with a start that the face Toler had in his mind when thinking of Torvin Akenthrasher was the face of the knight who was leading the military convey Toler was in heading for Braeholl that Boog saw in Rivensblight. That night Boog's dreams are disturbing. He dreams he is locked in deadly combat with a legion of dark humanoid figures. Though he accounts well for himself, he has soon exaughsted his psionic energy. He finds himself fighting only with his staff and dagger. He is knocked to the ground, and is helpless to avoid a great blade thrust towards his chest.... He awakes. It is morning. Mary is too upset to make breakfast. The group has to satisfy itself on cold biscuits and apples. There's milk, too, if anyone is inclined to take it from the cow. [/QUOTE]
