Message: <blockquote data-quote="BSF" data-source="post: 1810404" data-attributes="member: 13098">It is mid-morning when the Seekers of Legend manage to get the golem to return to it's post in the tunnel.  Brother Oceas retrieves his net; Tyrm and Felix pull a still unconscious Li from the bushes they had hidden him in; Ayla, Ceru and Tormal return from their scattered directions.  Li took quite a pounding and will likely be soure and bruised for a while, but the general consensus is that he was knocked unconscious rather than suffering life-threatening wounds.  A bit of rest and he will likely come around himself.  While waiting, Ceru requests that his friend the Spirit Hawk to fly another scouting mission.  Some of the more aware Seekers can detect a faint presence nearby as the familiar wings away into the sky.  It isn't long before Spirit Hawk returns.  The more perceptive Seekers note that the stick on Ceru's back shifts.  Whispering into Ceru's ear, Spirit Hawk speaks of a large group of dog-like two-leggeds that are moving from the North.  "How many?  Very many, a large pack.  How do I know if it's a larger pack than usual, I don't keep track of two-leggeds.  Sure, if it's really important to you I can go count them."  Spirit Hawk soon returns to the sky and Ceru tells the Seekers about the Gnolls heading toward you.It is well over an hour before Spirit Hawk returns.  Li is up and moving, though he is still heavily battered from the iron fists of the golem.  Spirit Hawk lands on Ceru's shoulder and nips at his ear.  "There are two less than six counts of man of the two-leggeds coming this way.  Most of those are dog-faced two-leggeds, but there are two hands, plus two of non dog-faced two-leggeds as well.  The non dog-faced two-leggeds are bound and look pale.  They will pass a short flight toward where the sun rises."  Moving to the top of a nearby rise, many of the Seekers can see what looks like a large group moving South.  They are perhaps a mile away, but Ceru spots a picket of scouts to the flanks no more than a half-mile away.  Soon after passing the Seekers' position, the column comes to a halt.  They are behind a rise or two, so it is difficult to make out.  But Spirit Hawk soon confirms that the pack has stopped moving.  They have formed into a large circle and some of them may be napping.  Others are moving into sentry positions.  It looks like the group will be stopped for a little while yet.  The bound and pale two-leggeds are staked to the ground in the center of the circle.  The distance to the camp is roughly two miles from the Seekers' position.  I will post this so you can begin discussing tactics, and possible actions.  We can pretty much go online up until you engage the enemy, if you do.  If you want to replenish HP and spells, let me know so I can advance the narrative a little.</blockquote>
