Todd's FR adventure: On the Merchant Road. Part I

[Old Fezziwig]

"He's right. We're wasting time — if there are any goblins left and if they have any prisoners, we aren't going to find them standing around here. In the event that we can find the goblins, we might be able to find the caravan's cargo, and that should be able to tell us who our nobleman is. If they have hostages, we'll do even better than that." He glances back at the human bodies, and shakes his head, quietly giving a benediction to Sune.

 

[Torillan]

"I agree. Although the sun is going down, perhaps we could proceed cautiously into the forest. With Kira the owl on point, and the two wolves on our flanks, we should try to follow the trail as best we can. Any other suggestions?"

 

[Festy_Dog]

"What are we doing for light sources? Spells? Torches? Or will that give too much of a chance for these goblins to spot us?" Saxon says while rubbing Mzarem behind the ears.

 

[Jalon Odessa]

"Tha longer we be lookin' 'round here, tha harder it's goonna be ta track tha beasties.
Tha wagons're rrraided - chances are tha booty we're lookin' for was taken into tha High Forest!"

'Agreed, manling. These murderous vermin already have a head-start on us, so if we wanna catch 'em we'll need to march through the night. Dinnae worry though - I've lived in the forest for half mah life - if anyone can help us track these wretches it's me'n'me pal Kjata here.'

Failing any objections from his companions, the rugged dwarf proceeds to lead the party into the forest, his lupine companion Kjata constantly at his side. (Remembering Scent, Track and Darkvision where appropriate).

 

[JohnClark]

"Very well, pursuit it is then", Derek says as he draws his swords. Moving silently in the shadows he heads into the forest.

Killian falls in behind Hral, who seems to be much better suited to tracking at night in a forest than he.

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

"Alrighty let us be goin then. I'll be happy to, *eh hem* be a set of eyes if any of ye that may need sort of assistance."

 

[Krug]

Krug shakes his head, arms his crossbow string and gets ready to follow the rest into the woods. "I assume we're not leaving our steeds here?"

He mutters to himself. Was hoping to set camp so I could quaff a quick one.. Ah well... it'll have to wait.

 

[ToddSchumacher]

Could I have a marching order?

Is anyone carying torches, or lanterns ?

If you guys want to work this all out in the other thread, I think that would be better than clogging this one.

 

[reapersaurus]

Krug shakes his head, arms his crossbow string and gets ready to follow the rest into the woods. "I assume we're not leaving our steeds here?"

Killian looks at the deep brush that bars their way into the High Forest, and asks, "Do we have a choice?
What do ye forest-types say?
It looks pretty thick ta me - will tha horses be OK in thar'?"
