"We should keep moving," Tekai says from where he tends to the growing fire. "If we slow down, which we must now with just the one horse, and take it in turns to stand guard then it should be possible for the rest of us to forage as we go. I would prefer that to remaining in one place for too long."

Seerah puts her hand on Niraya's shoulder, "I don't think its wise for you to be alone. Tekai is more skilled as a scout and my cat is always near."

First Post
The night passes, the party has a meal of roast boar and a stew of root vegetables. The remains are salted and preserved. They wake to another day of welcome sunlight and make preparations swiftly before departing, Tekai and Niraya exploring ahead, Sheng and Seerah keeping with the cart, foraging as they can, they seem to have plenty of time as the cart definitely seems slower with one horse, though with less weight aboard, the pace isn’t as bad as it seems.
[sblock=Tekai/Niraya]
Early in the day, the pair spot a rather large deer in the woods, and are able to bring him down. Most of the day is fairly quiet. Late in the day, Tekai spies a couple snare traps in the woods. As the sun begins to set, Niraya spots a campfire a way into the woods.
[sblock=OOC]With the buck and a few other finds, the two of you found about eight days worth of food supplies.[/sblock][/sblock]
[sblock=Sheng/Seerah]
Sheng and Seerah don’t find much game in the wake of Tekai and Niraya, but are able to come across plenty of nuts and nonpoisonous berries. The path is quiet, Inguar remains quiet and focused on driving the cart forward. Late in the day, Sheng does find a good-sized rabbit in a snare a few feet off the path, it seems fresh.
[sblock=OOC]Berries and nuts were plentiful, between the two of you, you accrued about five days worth of food supplies. The rabbit is not included, as it has not been taken yet.
[/sblock][/sblock]
[sblock=OOC Food supplies clarification]To make sure this is clear, one day of food supplies is one day for a single person, you may divide by whole days among yourselves as you wish.[/sblock]

Seerah asks Asra to shadow Tekai and Niraya, keeping them in sight but staying out of sight herself. Seerah is restless much of the day, feeling uneasy, as if something terrible is about to happen.
Niraya grabs Tekai's arm excitedly and points, crouching down as she does.
"Look! There's a fire over there. See?"
She waits for a second, watching the thin wisp of smoke and the way the distant light flickers ever so subtly.
"We should find out who it is. Quietly. We don't want to bring the cart near if there's orcs."

"Shhh!" Tekai admonished, joining Niraya in a crouch. He was in a much better mood after having supplemented their supplies earlier in the day.
"Go back to the cart and warn the others to wait. I will make for that group of poplars there, see?" he said, pointing. "Meet me after and we will scout together. I will wait for a thousand heartbeats before coming looking for you."
Tekai doesn't wait for Niraya to respond before cautiously moving off, alert for any snares that might be across his path.
[Sblock=ooc]
Tekai will let others (especially the ladies) replenish their 'rations' to whatever they are comfortable with (4 days?) from the massive haul of food, taking only enough for "today". In his mind, it is easier for him, than others, to get more. Call it sexist and arrogant if you want (because it is), he doesn't mind - it's just the way the world is.

[/Sblock]Niraya nods, and hurries back to where the cart rests.
"We found a campfire off ahead a ways," she explains breathlessly. "Tekai and me are going to scout it out, but I came back to tell you to wait here while we do. We're not going to fight or anything. Just get a better look."
