The road to Vrux.

[Legildur]

Makas (dwarf warrior)

Makas breathes a heavy sigh of relief as he realises that Fror will most likely live. Standing up from where he was kneeling, Makas grabs his waraxe and uses it steady himself, feeling a little weak after the battle. He wipes the bulk of the blood off the head of the axe on the nearby grass as he makes his way across to the wagon.

"Fror should make it if he gets some good rest," says Makas in response to Calondor's question. as he takes out a cloth and starts to wipe his waraxe clean. "But I wouldn't be movin' him any time soon. He's in a bad way."

"What about Rell? How'd he fair?"

 

[RillianPA]

"I cant believe Nadour was the traitor...when he was the only survivor, didnt they use any divination magic to test him? Well, I guess we should find out what all this blood was about."

Once everyone is cared for, and any surviving soldiers are bound, Morrison moves to the crate Rell was about to open, and opens it.

 

[DarkMaster]

OOC sorry I forgot to say that the second soldier broke his neck when he felt from the wagon.

Morrison using the soldiers sword to open the box. The nails holding the plank aren't very strong and Morrison open the box fairly easily. He quickly glances at the content of the box and see well designed racks holding three rows of crossbow, in the left corner of the box he sees multiple boxes containing quarrels.

 

[RillianPA]

"By Fharlanghn's weary feet! Nothing is ever simple. We are gonna have to search all these boxes to find whatever he was hiding. I suppose we should move off the road, set up camp, and then search the boxes carefully."

Morrison helps collect the horses, and wounded. Then he moves the wagon off the road, and helps to set up camp. When that is complete, he will ask Calondor to help him examine each of the boxes, to see if there is anything different about any of them. They will then carefully remove the contents of each box (starting with the one already open), and search for something unusual. After each box is searched, they will do what they can to re-seal it, marking it with a large chalk "X".

 

[Mithran]

Calondor (half elf bard)

Calondor helps move things and set up camp then when Morrison asks him to help with the boxs he helps with that too.

 

[Legildur]

Makas assists where necessary, but keeps a careful eye out for Nadour's return.

 

[DarkMaster]

Calondor, Makas and Morrison quickly pushes the two cart on the side of the road. They notices that Fror little wagon contains a lot of food and they could survive a few days in the wood on that alone. The three make sure that the injured are protected from the weather and that the soldier's hand and feet are well thight (use rope T20). They then focus on finishing their rudimentary camp before the sun falls. As they complete their camp, the sun is very low on the horizon and the large tree are making a lot of shadow visibility is quickly diminishing.

(OOC I have a house rule for Darkvision, it doesn't kick in until it becomes very dark)

Makas and Calondor (listen roll Makas 19+4, Calondor 13+3, Morrison 2+8 DC 15,20)
hears noises all around them. Like if people or animals were moving around about 40' feet from their position.

Makas also hears sounds coming from high in the tree (30'-45') He can hear the sounds of tools or fang hitting the bark of the tree. Whatever is upstair seems also to be moving

(spot Morrison 8+8, Makas 9+3, Calondor 10+1, DC 15)
As Morrison is putting the finishing touch to the camp he notices the bushes in front of him (about 35') move in a strange fashion, he looks around and notices two humanoid shapes moving in the bushes behind him. The shades from the tree prevent him from identifying the two figures. They seems to be slowly closing towards their camp. He then quickly scan around and notices that other bushes seems to move in an unatural fashion.

 

[RillianPA]

"Someones coming" Morrison says, pointing at the various figures and bushes that are moving.

Readying his mw javelin, Morrison says "Declare yourselves, you people approaching the camp."

 

[Legildur]

Makas (dwarf warrior)

As Makas hears the sounds in the bushes and immediately readies his shield as he scans the direction Morrison points out. Drawing his waraxe, Makas moves to within 20ft of Morrison to one flank.

 

[DarkMaster]

OOC I was waiting for Mithran to post but it's taking a bit too long.

Morrison can hear a voice coming from behind a bush 40' feet in front of him.
"Give us the boxes and you will live, fight and you will die. Drop your weapon and lay yourselves on the ground. I have archer hidden in the trees so don't try to fool me" The voice shut and a men dress as a simple villager with a leather hat and a scarf around the face appears from the bushes armed with a spear.
