The Lord Marshall
As the Old Baron had planned the diversionary attack succedes it pushing back the foe from his walls as he and his mounted men at arms ride forth and create great chaos among his foes. Hard on his heels the party rides until they are past the foe's encampment and into the wilds. With no time for more sublte evasion the party rides hard with the mounted wargs hard on their trail. It soon becomes clear that a running battle is soon to be had as the enemey makes an attempt to herd and corral the party. With a Bulldognedess that gave him his name Nijel seeks out and engages all foes sometimes at great peril only to be rescued by the Heavily armoned figure of Carinwalker as they break thru all the roadblocks set up to prevent their journey. Alban and Aidian bring their magic to bear as best they can with Aidian summoning as much power as he can bear and launching it against the chasing foes. Tree's, rocks, bushes, wargs, orcs and ogiers all feel the heat of his power as he keeps up a current barrage to delay the enemies prusuit and hamper their travel. Indeed one small bridge covering a stream ignites and illuminates the sky as Adian's power set's it ablaze.
Albans contribution is much more simple he continual moves among the party gently touching the memebers with his power. It is his actions that keep the party moving as Alban devels deep into his own reserves and sperads the warmth and healing fo the Light to the party.
Kat meanwhile scouts the permimeter of the party on her great black steed leading the party around many chokepoints and ambushes. The path she chooses often annoys both Nijel and Cairnwalker as they appear to double back many times and turn first north then west thne north then south then east in a bewildering series of hard rides. One particular short cut gets to the entire party as they become waiste deep even on horseback in an icey cold stream only to see her standing on her horses back with water just over her boots while the rest of the party becomes cold and wet.
Despite it all the packhorse containg the body of Andor appears to suffer no problems.
For days this cycle contiues until after almost a ten days of hard riding, little sleep and many cuts and bruises the party is at last stopped with the welcome challange "Halt who goes there" by a seargent in the Livery of Gwynedde"
