[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 7559421, member: 6855223"] [b]Day 268: Plans of Action[/b] It has become late in the afternoon, pushing into evening. The shadows are long upon the ground, where they are distinguishable from the overall demur lighting from the overhead canopy. The steady breeze from the west brings the scent of cedar and pine to Taylar, Vittero, and Raven Elk. Maka and Adisakti get a hint of smoke and roasting game. The soldiers preparing camp appear nearly oblivious to the forest, but the priest is wary. He watches the soldiers and the forest. [gm]Raven Elk is able to easily near within 5 paces of the encampment. The soldiers give no heed to the direction from which they came. All of them occasionally watch the priest, more in suspicion than for guidance. They all periodically take to grumbling and make overt noise with metal cups, as if careless or nonchalant.[/gm] Adi quiety slips away from Maka to the right, wanting to put some distance between them. In case one or the other is noticed, it might help hide the other. [gm]The two women pass within 10 paces of Maka and Adisakti, but as they continue to walk, it appears the two hidden men were not noticed. The two women appear to be en route to make a circuit of the camp at about 10 paces distant from it. Their path of travel will take them into conflict with Raven Elk.[/gm] Vittero nods.
