The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Neurotic]

OOC: I distinctly remember Ewan sain he saw HUMAN tracks. And I believe we are talking about HUMAN ambush. So, zealous paladins should beware lest they slay brother human. Or did I misunderstand?

 

[Redclaw]

That's what I'd read, Mowgli. And that, friend Leif, is where the 'over' comes into play. Many a sad day started with a paladin seeing ogres where there were none.

ODC: I just so love the confusion of a battlefield and all these brave, bold, and upright guys wearing massive armor ......i think i am going to have tons of fun alone just from them...then you add into the mix what may or may not be considered a demon possed dragon shamon,,,,,,a possessed warlock (at least according to some church scripture)..and a waif of a girl in more or less an all male camp oh my oh my who do i pick on first

"I don't think they are going to die of old age while we debate. We need a course of action. Perhaps I'm being zelous or over-zelous today, but the chances of finding friendly forces that aren't riding away as fast as they can is slim. Since what I suggested before held no appea and we've little time for riding about as, let us move forward ready for trouble. We display our symbols boldly so they know we are friend if they are human and we start this battle if they are not. The horses are watered and as rested as we can allow them to be."

 

[Redclaw]

Padraig appears relieved at a viable solution, uncomfortable with any disagreement between himself and his companions. That would appear to be the best option. Let us ride on.
As the group heads toward the ambush, Padraig hangs to the back to better protect the boy, but makes sure to keep as many of his allies as possible within his aura.

Aura- Senses--+2 to listen, spot, search and initiative.

"Hailing it is. Let's see how they react. Someone, please, lead my horse."

Ewan then moves ahead of the group onto the bridge. He draws an arrow, nocks it, and sights in on the clump of underbrush where he spotted the glints of metal. Then he takes the arrow off the string, uses the bow as a pointer to the underbrush, then waves the bow in a beckoning manner. Keeping his eyes searching for possible other threats as well, Ewan watches the brush as the group slowly moves forward.

Nijel Bladesong, Bloodthirsty Overzealous Paladin of Light

Nijel will take the reins of Ewan's horse and wait for an indication from someone of what to do next.

 

[Rhun]

With the discussion concluded, Roak rides bravely forward, fairly unconcerned with the possible ambush ahead. If whoever hid among the trees decided to attack, he would kill them...painfully and bloodily.

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin of Light

Nijel will signal to Aidan to take the reins of Ewan's mount, and then he will immediately fall in behind and to the left of Roak, since he has provided ample indication of our next moves.

Katherine Brightlaw - Rogue/Sorcerer

Katherine guides Caoimhe off the path to the right as she rides forward - not enough to be threatening, just enough to get a slightly better flanking angle.
