[sblock]As you travel down the deer trail you can see obivious signs that people and livestock have passed this way within the last few hours.[/sblock]

The Trail continues to twist and turn and those familar with the wilderness sense that the grade is increasing and you are heading towards hilly ground. Several small streams intersect the trail and as the party goes along it further the woods to either side become dense with large oaks and ash trees some towering almost 150 feet into the air.
 

Nijel Bladesong

"Unless those who fled ahead of us are making extraordinarily good speed, we may soon begin to overtake them." OOC: Does their spoor seem to be increasing in either amount or freshness?

"I suppose we should try to keep them ahead of us if we can, so that we don't abandon them to the marauding orcs and ogiers. Still, our own errand has some urgency of its own......."
 

Andor Anande de Andrade

We didn't stop to follow the boys and these people are probably better prepared for skirmish with few orcs then those boys were.

They are warned and they flee to safety. It will not be safe wherever they go if we don't warn Lord Marshal.

I'm not saying we shouldn't stop and help if help is needed, just not to slow until it IS needed.
 

"I really don't see us catching whoever is ahead of us. We have just as much baggage and livestock with us. Such things only move so fast."

Ewan turns to the older hero guiding the group along this back trail.

"Sir, would you have an educated guess as to which of your neighbors we are following? Do we need to try to push the pace to catch them? Will they be able to handle themselves if they run into trouble up ahead?"
 

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin 44/49hp AC:20

OOC: Nijel, unable to find any fault in Andor's and Ewan's logic, resolves to keep his big mouth shut for awhile. After this comment:

"Well, then, shouldn't we get moving again?"
 


Roak nods in accordance with all of the others' words. "We should certainly keep moving. Our task is our priority. And chances are, this whole area is crawling with orcs. Any delays could keep us from reaching the Lord Marshall."
 

Nijel Bladesong, Paladin 44/49hp AC:20

OOC: Then Nijel will attempt to assemble those of the group who do not have other tasks to perform, and move onward.

"Let's keep the rest of the group moving forward, fellows, while our compatriots tend to their concerns!"
