Vadin thinks for a moment, and replies "I think the company would be good, and I would much rather travel with you all. You shall have my sword."

Day 94 - 96: Moving Upstream
Vadin thinks for a moment and replies,
"Good to have you along."
As the party travels Sheldon, Sannit, and Saemund work with Vadin on increasing his knowledge and sensitivity to various metals. Indigo and Bolo work with him using feathers and stones, while Tor and Merin explain the uses of bones, claws, and teeth.
During the courses of conversations, Vadin is able to gather that the group has deliberately diversified itself to be able to manipulate way across all mediums. In time he will want to choose a particular proclivity as well, since it is disadvantageous to attempt to pursue all.
During the course of the day, the elevation continues to rise and fall more dramatically. The grassland becomes spotted with trees then more densely covered. The change in elevation also brings a slight cooling to the heat of the plains. Linear travel has also slowed by half.
During the following day, the party does not encounter anything significant. Several varmints are spotted but allowed to simple move away, since plenty of deer meat remains. Later in the afternoon, some bright yellow beetles are discovered, these having carapaces about the size of a mans head. Three are captured for use. Cursory searches are done for known metals, stones, and herbs while traveling.
The second day of travel produces some upland game birds, of which none are taken due to the abundance of deer meat. The topography causes the stream to be inaccessible at various points during the day. By the end of the second day, it is considered too difficult to try to cross. Cursory searches are again done for known metals, stones, and herbs.
The third day brings the party into the true foothills of the mountains. No path remains of where travelers might have before passed. The land is much different here than any the Seekers have experienced before. The air is cooler. The towering trees of various foliage are sparsely placed among the rocks and crags. The common fauna is different as well bringing new birds and varmints into view.

Day 96: An Unexpected Encounter
Later into the afternoon, everyone quiets at the same time as if triggered by some unseen queue, when a sense of imminent danger arises. Whoever is traveling closest to Vadin, at the time, touches his arm to let him know. His detection range requires more training to reach that of the others. Suddenly a terrible squealing noise precedes the sounds of rapid running coming directly for the party. Whatever is running toward the party is coming from their forward left flank and will be visible within about 3 seconds.

Sannit will take up a guard position with his spear at the front of the group. Bolo will be right behind him with a nocked arrow. In response to the squeal Turtle will let out a bear roar to possibly discourage whatever enemy is approaching and give his people more time to react.

Vadin will stand next to Sannit drawing his longsword and stands in a defensive stance watching the direction the noise is coming from.
Saemund reaches for the small of his back and produces his carving axes with a flourish. Each spinning once in the flat of his palm. Although he shows no expression, he is inwardly pleased in the manner that he retrieved his weapons. Figuring that a creature small enough to be hidden by the grass and making that much noise is being pursued.
He focuses behind the creature that is tearing through the grass toward them. He reaches out with way and searches for life forms. If he senses anything he will attempt to sense whether it is humanoid, and it's disposition. If it is humanoid and hostile he will alert the others and will prepare to throw one of his carving axes at it.

Tor takes up a defensive position with sword and board, focusing on making the blade icy cold, by removing the heat from the area around it.
Myth stands ready next to Tor, and follows Turtle's example, letting out a feline roar that sounds eerily like a woman screaming.
Merin is standing about 4 paces to Tor's left, his mind focusing, preparing to use a fire attack on whatever hostile creature pops into view.
