Under strange stars

[Zerth]

OOC: Yeah, I knew what they were, but wanted to make sure Amira did also.

How about this for a marching order? Al-Khazad and Shin'nairo in the front row, Amira and Jagra behind them and Razeem & Menghil guarding the rear.

 

[Ashy]

OOC: Fine by me...

 

[Someone]

Your travel through the jungle continues. Though the heat soon becomes less oppressive, the diminishing light doesn´t make the place more comfortable. Or the feeling of being watched...

Menghil is the first spotting them. They are quite stealthy, but not enough for your sight; though your senses are not good enough to determine what are them. They are human sized, and move fast; some kind of ape, perhaps, since cometimes they walk on two feet and sometimes on all fours. When they notice you´re watching, they retreat quickly, only to come back later: and now there are more.

 

[Ashy]

"I wonder if we can communicate with them", Jagra whispers loud enough for those around him to hear. "-as it seems that we are out-numbered..."

 

[hafrogman]

"Perhaps we should just keep moving and try to appear non-threatening. This is their home, and we are intruders. But perhaps if we show willingness to leave it unmolested, they will leave us the same."

 

[Ashy]

Jagra looks sharply to Menghil, "What color is th' sky in this fairy world you live in?"

 

[hafrogman]

Menghil casts a sharp glare back at the gnome and hisses an answer back.

"It's pink with polka dots! Don't get snipity with me short stuff! They haven't attacked yet, we don't know if they plan to."

 

[Zerth]

"They look like animals, but I don't like the way they are gathering around us," Amira says worriedly. "We should keep our pace and move away. Hopefully they'll leave us be. If not, well, then prepare for the worst."

(OOC: Amira casts Mage Armor on herself just in case.)

 

[Someone]

Amira casts her spell and you continue walking, catching the sight of your misteryous followers now and then. Sonn comes the opportunity to have a better look at one of them: it´s a female, and the mixture of animal and human becomes even more disturbing: the way she moves, the short fur than covers her body or the wicked claws in hands and feet makes sharp contrast with her human body and face. She´s ahead of your path, and stares at Al-Khazad -a thing that provokes mixed feeling in the sailor- before running away really fast as soon Jagra spets ahead and tries to communicate with her.

It´s almost dark when you arrive at a rocky clearing, where trees are more scarce; you start to be tired, and the jungle is here less oppressing. You don´t enjoy the place, however: A blood chilling scream comes from the jungle, your new companions finally have decided to go for your throat and gallop at you at full speed!

 

[Ashy]

Menghil casts a sharp glare back at the gnome and hisses an answer back.

"It's pink with polka dots! Don't get snipity with me short stuff! They haven't attacked yet, we don't know if they plan to."

Jagra 'harumphs' and mutters the words of a spell, and vanishes. "Well, when they do attack, it won't be me first!" The gnome chuckles at his own joke.
