The Four Lands - Southern Operatives

[Rhun]

Roak again takes rearguard as the group moves out, Halcyon easily carrying his armored rider at a brisk pace behind the rest of the company. Cairnwalker stays alert for any sign of their foe, glancing behind and to the sides often.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Katherine Brightlaw

Katherine and Caoimhe take their usual spot in the group, keeping a weather eye out for trouble.

 

[Scotley]

Refreshed by his dip in the stream, Alban takes his place in the second rank and keeps his eyes open for trouble.

OOC: +2 spot, listen & initiative within 10'

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong 44/49hp AC20

Nijel takes his usual spot near the front, behind the scouts.

 

[J. Alexander]

To the Marshall

Having decided not to linger at the last burnedout homestead, the party continues it's journey until the sun begins to fade in the sky. With perhaps 30 minutes of light left, the party finds itself next to yet another small stream with a small clearing in the woods leading south/southwest. They have been following a well used road for most of the journey.

 

[Rhun]

"HO!" calls Roak, reigning his horse in near the stream. "We have ridden hard and long; we should water the horses and let them rest some afore we continue."

 

[Leif]

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin

"Yes, that would be a very welcome and refreshing pause. Let us keep an eye on yonder wood while we are cooling the horses, because we certainly don't want another unwelcome surpise visit by our enemies."

 

[Scotley]

Alban

"Yes, does anyone want to scout the woods before we advance?"

 

[Neurotic]

Andor

Let's get over the stream and set camp if we won't ride in the night. We can rest here for the night. I'm aware we don't realy have time, but if we won't ride over night we need to stop somewhere.

Andor uses time given to provide shelter for infant services (feeding, changing etc.), but he will not do it himself instead using time for prayer watching the sun preparing for it's nightly journey and preparing his own light sources for emergencies.

 

[Redclaw]

Padraig shakes his head at Andor's words. We're but resting a short time, aren't we? I would not care to be caught out in the open by the invading forces, as they can see much better in the dark than such as we. A short rest to allow the horses to recover some of their strength is good, but then we should continue on to find the Lord Marshal.
