Vrux, a Village cursed

Morrison estimates the distance between him and the door to about 60' feet now. The old stone walls are at least 30'feet high.

The crowd in front of Morrison and Rell seeing that the guard is about to close the door starts to complain. A few seems angry that they will have to wait to leave the village. "Will this be long" "Come On, keep that door open" "Let me out, let me out, My wife is sick and waiting for me to deliver some medicine"

Morrison, beckoning to Rell, moves to the front of the crowd (60' should only take one round?). Try not be too obvious as we do it (ie dont start knocking people down, or pushing them hard).
 

Calondor is taken by surprise as the small struggle breaks out beneath him "Don't move around so, we don't want to be shaking Fror's wagon back and forth. And please talk quietly this will be hard enough as it is"

(OOC: As Calondor is probably the lightest I'm assuming he's on the 'top of the heap' as it were.)
 



Both moves among the crowd without being noticed. A few villager here and there shouts at them, telling them not to even try, they are about to lock the doors and nobody will be allowed to leave for at least an hour.

None try to stop them knowing that they won't get out anyway.

(hide, spot Rell, Morrison 3+1 ;12+2, spot 20+6; 13 + 8)

As Rell starts to move forwards the guards who is closing the door notices him moving among the crowd.

Rell notices the young militian keeping his eyes on him. He didn't say anything but it is clear to Rell that he is focusing on him. He also notices that the guards on top of the towers seems to be watching him also. Two of them are now standing near the small arrow holes. The shadow makes it hard to see them but Rell can see their head move following his movement. The long rectangular hole is about half a foot wide by three foot tall. Making it hard for anybody to shoot someone behind it.

Morrison continue to advance through the crowd, apperantly unnoticed by any of the guard. He is now about 30' feet from the door.

Utrolac quickly shut up as the other tell him. He continue to mumble to himself, visibely scared of being caught.

Fror direct the wagon inside the village for what seems to be 10 incredibly long minutes. All of a sudden you hear Fror starts to talk in an unknown language, He just say what seems to be three words.
Mithran:

Then you hear the voice of a middle aged men. "So you enjoyed your stay in the village Sir. I hope you had the chance to taste our unique bread.

The gnome then answers "Indeed Sir, The bread was so good, You will probably see me around very soon." They both starts laughing and the caravan starts moving again. A few second later, Calondor and Makas slowly can hear the sound of the city diminishing a minute later all they can hear is the sound of the wind and of a few birds.

By the whole behind the caravan Calondor notices that they enter a forest. The caravan turns quickly and all can hear Fror in front of the wagon shout "We've made it, you can get out"

Utrolac quickly gets out, thanking Fror to save his life and appologising to all for almost making the whole thing fails.
 

Calondor get's out and quietly talks to Fror "You friend are far more than a chef, thank you for your help"

Calondor smiles at Utrolac "That's quite alright you did far better than we should have expected of you, you aren't used to this sort of thing. I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel like shouting every now and then my self"
 

"And not before time!" Makas grumbles as Ultraloc and Mithran get off him. Heaving himself upright and out of the cart, the dwarven warrior stretches a few joints.

"A first rate job there Fror. I thank thee," Makas says. "Now what do we do?"

"Can I suggest that we lay an ambush for anyone following the others as they make their way to the campsite? Only as a delaying tactic mind you."

Rell Half-Giant Soul Knife

Rell will let Morrison get close to the gate then shrug as if giving up. He will turn his back to the gate and as he does so use his Stomp Psionic ability. He will then shout "Earthquake!" and if a panic results or a path is cleared try to make it out.

OOC: Rell will be sure the observant Guard is in the area of effect and will use the power again the next round if the way out is not clear.
