[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 3586437, member: 7006"] Early Wednesday morning, "Aerndel Barrne" receives in his mind a *ping*... and when the disguised changeling's eyes spring open, he immediately knows that Elder Nevillom is contacting him with a Sending spell... one of Nevillom's favorites. For some reason, a morning doesn't seem worth starting for the man unless he contacts Aern to get a full rundown of what happened in the previous day. And like every other, the changeling passes on the fact that one of the mercs disappeared in the night after seeing some animals circling their camp. With only twenty-five words to use in his reply, he is succinct and to the point. Aern thinks nothing of it when he gets up for the morning and begins helping to break down the camp. Cerril Maise... the Exorcist that he nominally reports to... seems somewhat concerned by last night's happenings. Aern's always known that the shifter never believed that they were dealing with lycanthropes... thinking that it was probably mistaken identities or somesuch. Aern really didn't care. He was paid to gather information for both Elder Nevillom and the Church... and value judgements on the information he discovered were never made. [COLOR=SandyBrown]"Once we are ready, we are continuing to head east. Jacoby, Graybonnet... go out there and find me a trail to follow. Osten didn't just disappear into thin air... he's out there somewhere... and he might have the answers to this whole thing."[/COLOR] Cerril Maise says, tightening a strap on her platemail. The two Flamist scouts sprint through the trees, and the shifter buckles her greatsword across her back. Aern doesn't know what might have happened to Ari Osten... and truth be told, doesn't really care. He's not a Flamist... doesn't believe in the Flame... and thus isn't important to the Elder... the man who pays him his money. After about ten minutes, the two scouts return and say they've picked up the trail... which consists of several animals tracks as well as a few humanoid once all walking together. Maise nods at this and ushers the scouting party out. The journey east begins. However, the group only marches forth for about twenty minutes or so when the sounds of others can be heard ahead. It couldn't be the rest of Nevillom's forces, could it? No, that would be impossible, Aern thinks. The answer of course is revealed, when through the trees at least a dozen or so men and women come into view... all of them wearing or wielding (or in one man's case, actually tattooed on his scalp) a symbol of a pair of daggers emblazoned on an orange sun.
