The Psionicle, Part VI

[Jarval]

Jansson smiles at Nathan's remark, yawns, and does his best to stay awake for the next couple of hours.

 

[Hand of Vecna]

Nathan blinks a few times, then takes up a guard position alongside Jarval.

"Alright, what'd I miss this time?"

 

[Jarval]

Jansson is obviously glad to have company while he stands guard. "Just a dozen or so snake-people with spears. The Yuan-ti didn't seem too pleased to see us, but Syld persuaded them that we're sent by the Great Council." He says in reply to Nathan's question.

Jansson yawns loudly and stretches, then resumes his guard.

Two more hours pass, slowly. The remaining moon sets, and the camp gradually lightens with the coming of the sun.

Tori'shel leaves the carriage she was sleeping in, yawning. She takes out a small, metal construct, similar to the one that Niko ordered to come out of the carriage earlier, and tinkers with it.

---

The moment you can see the sun, those who are awake can hear rustling in the trees down the path. A female human comes out of the trees - although you can tell that she is not entirely human. Something isn't quite right about her*...

*See the picture of the human-looking yuan-ti in the Monster Manual. That's pretty much what you are looking at.

"I am the one you ssspoke with lassst night." She says simply. "I will lead you to where my people ressst. We will dissscusss thisss-" She holds up the treaty, "-onssse we are there. I give you five of your minutesss to ready yourssselvesss and follow me."

She then stands there, a look of impatience barely perceptible on her face, waiting for you to follow her.

 

[dkoz]

Desimus readies himself as quickly as he can. He throws his bell roll and other items into his satchel quickly. He calls his hawk to him, slings his crossbow and then waits to leave.

 

[Creamsteak]

Animus will follow... nothing much else to say...

 

[Jarval]

Jansson quickly stuffs all of his gear into his backpack and shoulders it. He looks expectantly at the Yuani-ti woman.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Niko also packs his stuff, although messily and motions to his construct so that it follows him, and moves along with the rest of the group.

 

[GnomeWorks]

The yuan-ti looks at Jansson, returning his gaze. "In good time, sssmall one."

---

Once the group is assembled and appears ready, the yuan-ti addresses everyone.

"Do not lag behind. If you become lossst, I will not ssstop to allow the othersss to sssearch for you. Do not be dessseived by the path - it ssstretchesss for only a ssshort dissstanssse into the treesss, and then disssappearsss. You mussst follow me, or become lossst."

With that, she turns and walks along the path, not looking back.

 

[Creamsteak]

If it's difficult enough that we need spot or track or wilderness lore or something similar... well anyway, I'll keep up.

If the yuan-ti are way faster than me... I'll manifest burst sparingly while running to keep up.
