[QUOTE="97mg, post: 7490185, member: 6799460"] [B]Main Group:[/B] The icy wind against your backs gathers strength as you make your way further from the mines. It blows flurries of snow about your feet, flakes lifting as though a hive of of frozen wisps has been disturbed. All is quiet, cept for the crunch of your fur-lined feet within this dark frozen land. Gimlak, the tall and strongly built human appears to struggle with visibility, but he is in good hands. The woman leading you away and a few of the other prisoners at least, can see far enough ahead to keep the group's pace and direction steady. Quickly surveying the surroundings, it would be a fair guess that a storm is coming. What kind though? This is yet to be proven. Sometimes hail, sometimes rain, or just snow… in massive quantities. [COLOR=#0000FF]“At least it will cover our tracks,” [/COLOR]the stranger mentions quietly. [COLOR=#0000FF]“My name is Bria, by the way,”[/COLOR] she unveils as you push on, her words accompanied by puffs of cold cloudy breath. [COLOR=#0000FF]“Perhaps now it is safe to light a torch,” [/COLOR]Bria then considers, as she looks to Gimlak and smiles. [B][I]Wisssh… crack![/I][/B] [COLOR=#0000FF]“Or not...” [/COLOR]she quickly adds, motioning for everyone to drop and remain still. The two high-elven once-prisoners heard the sounds too, drifting from somewhere close to your south. The sound of something sliding along snow follows, then… was that a grunt? A pair of dark congealed shapes fade into view. Animals leading two sleds, wait… are those wolves? Yes! And each tows a man, their silhouettes small yet wide, thick in form, you know them well. Korrud! [COLOR=#FF0000]“Araggahak,”[/COLOR] you hear one of them say, slowing as he commands the beasts to a stop, as he raises a hand to shield falling snow from his eyes, looking out upon the surroundings. His colleague then does the same, raising something else in his grip. A crossbow? [COLOR=#0000FF]“Bespawling saddle-geese...”[/COLOR] Bria mutters under her breath. [CENTER][IMG]http://www.dawnindustry.com/TRBimages/Daggerbreak.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] [B]Rolin:[/B] Off a short way to the southeast, a half-elven man moves gracefully, artfully and quietly through the snow, his directions random at times, as he stealthily leaves a confusing and winding track for any would-be pursuers. Through darkness and ever-present cold, adrenaline perhaps fuels him, the prospect of freedom! He is alert and careful, ears and eyes focused on all that surrounds. Yes, a storm comes, he might consider. Then, tracking west a little further, dark shapes and abnormalities in the scene ahead come to be. To his right side, just on the edge of where the gift of racial darkvision turns to black, there are small depressions like shadow upon the snow. Footprints. Several sets of them.
