The First Age of Man

Sheng smiles at the shepherdess "Not many, one or two scouts parties like the one we destroyed in a whole year. Now that I think of it, perhaps the Breathless keep them in check, this is their territory, as they said so I'm guessing they don't like orcs settling about. So I'm guessing there won't be any in our trail, but wouldn't hurt keeping the eyes peeled, because I've seen some "interesting and potentially deadly" wildlife." he replies.

Recovering from the thought of either of the two women in the cart claiming a mate, Tekai chimes in, "They couldn't be too far away though. Can't imagine them travelling more than a day or two unless there's something they think worthwhile."

"Really? I thought scouting parties would travel fer weeks before going back to their main camp. Ye learn something new every day, eh?" Sheng says, seemingly surprised by the new information.
 

"I'm just guessing, but whatever they steal has to be carried back. Walking a couple if weeks with a heavy bag on your back would be so stupid I don't even think Orcs would go for it."
 


The party rolls onward for the rest of the day, with only brief breaks before finding a good cave to camp in for the night, Inguar tells a few stories while he cooks the duck Tekai caught along with the last of the potatoes.


That night, without the protection of the Breathless, the group takes turns keeping watch; Seerah takes the first watch, followed by Sheng, followed by Sialfi, who declared that he was strong enough to wake everyone.


The party wakes up as the morning light creeps into the cave, Sheng and Niraya realize they weren’t woke up to keep watch. They notice that Inguar seems a bit confused as well. Seerah and Tekai seem unconcerned at first upon waking up. It is then that Niraya notices that her spear is positioned near the entrance, well reinforced at an angle. Just inside the bushes leading into the cave, a rope is drawn tight across the span of the entrance, with loose rocks being placed below it. Though the trap is simple and quick to set up, it looks effective. Sialfi is not in sight.

"What? What do you mean he has left us? He was in no condition to travel by himself, leaving us would mean dying in the forest, I doubt he could be so reckless." Sheng interjected. He gave an appreciative look at the spear trap. "Perhaps he went hunting?"
