The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter V

[kirinke]

Teleri grins lopsidedly at Kayris. "I wouldn't get too comfortable m'lady. The kind of trouble we attract usually has fangs, talons and can throw spells. And we seem to encounter such on a distressingly regular basis."

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang finds himself feeling some mistrust for Kayris at her admittance of her lack of difficulty in travel in the forest. He squints and shakes his head while silently reprimanding himself for his odd pessimistic behavior as of late.
Innocent until proven guilty, he quotes his former mentor.

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand pats Kayris' hand, “Don’t worry my lady. I admit that we do have a natural tendency to encounter trouble, but up till now we always handled ourselfs pretty well.”

 

[Majin]

Kayris smiles at Dunstand's reassurance of her safety, but her eyes quickly widen as she looks over the rogue's shoulder. Placing a hand over her mouth she points frantically behind him.

The rustling of bushes can be heard behind the party off the side of the path.

 

[Manzanita]

Drogo

"Oooo, not again. Rex, guard!" He motions towards the merchant and injured elf. He dismounts, and readies his spear and shield.

 

[hippocrachus]

Calenthang draws his sword and positions himself so that he can keep one eye on Kayris and one eye on the bushes. Just because your guilt hasn't been proven, doesn't mean you're not guilty.

 

[Dhes]

Dunstand lets a dagger fall in to the palm of his hand and positions himself between Kayris and the bushes. “Just stay behind me my lady.”

 

[Velmont]

"Cover me" Sielwoodan says to his companion. Slowly, and quieltly, he advance in direction of the bush, an arrow ready on his bow. He will try to identify what is making that noise. As soon as he knows what it is, he will back up and tell his driends what he has seen. If the creature attack him, he will let go his arrow.

 

[kirinke]

Teleri quickly flicks her bow off her shoulder and has an arrow in place, ready for any unpleasentness.

 

[Majin]

Kayris crouches down behind Dunstand. The bushes rustle more fiercely, drawing everyones attention further into the woods as the thing making the sound seems to flee. More sounds are heard from the opposite direction, and then all around, drawing heads back and forth to watch for any danger. Then all is quiet.

Unfortunately in the confusion Calenthang loses sight of Kayris, who was hiding behind Dunstand. Now, he noticed, a slight chill running down his spine, the girl was nowhere to be seen.
