Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Reprise, IC03

[Scott DeWar]

Capizzoio rolls his eyes at the verbal repost, only able to wonder how the spoiled Tylara is going to react. he starts to loosen his muscles as he feels he may be soon doing a bit of sneaking about and wants to be ready to do so with excellence.

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

Not one to let an opportunity pass, Tylara responds, "Well, if you must rely on the crutch of speech because your mental rapport with your familiar is lacking then send him along. I shall have a report back from Thel shortly." The eagle is sent winging toward the smoke. "Let's get moving. I expect we'll want to arrive on the scene before darkness falls."

 

[Lou]

Francheska Walova

Francheska looks up at Tylara from her spot on the ground, "You, too?" With a loud sigh, Francheska stands up and brushes the leaves off of her leggings and tunic. "I guess the sooner we get there, the sooner I get to fry something. Now which way to the smoke?"

 

[renau1g]

Xavier shoots a look at Tylara, then chuckles. "Yes, well not all of our group shares the level of bond you've acheived." the human replies, then gestures for the gray elf to take the lead.

[sblock=OOC]
Haha! Last laugh to Tylara. Well done sir

[Scotley]

Tylara

Tylara sets off in the direction of the smoke with Thel flying a half mile or so out in front to warn of threats.

OOC: [sblock]Always good to have a worthy adversary to force me to work for it.[/sblock]

 

[Lou]

Francheska Walova (Evoker)

Francheska falls in behind Tylara, grumbling about letting a bird lead the group.

In the Gaskar Hills

You trudge and climb through the Gaskar Hills for about 7 miles. Xavier and Tylara catch fleeting glimpses of Thel and Mike, but the familiars don't return yet. In fact, they seem to be keeping about the same distance ahead of you, like they are advance scouts. (Or maybe they just want to make you work for the information they will hopefully provide.)

After awhile more, though, at about 8 miles from the river, they return to their masters.

OOC: I think I already ruled that they can speak to their masters, didn't I? IC: Anyway, they report that there is a cave entrance in the side of a hill about three miles ahead. The smoke is coming from a pair of chimneys in the top of that hill. They saw nothing else of note, no traffic inor out of the cave. Just the usual wildlife in the forest. But also no wildlife near the cave.

 

[Scotley]

Tylara

Tylara rewards her faithful companion with a treat. "Well, wildlife doesn't use fireplaces. I expect we've found the orc lair. Should we try to plug the chimney's and see who comes out?"

 

[renau1g]

"A splendid idea. Oh I wish we had a druid who could shape the stone closed." Xavier replies, looking around for either a large rock, or other obstacle to move.

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

Manny

Manny travels contentedly along at his companions' side, enjoying the friendly banter and the feeling of being out and away from the Academy. As they near the source of the smoke he mentally reviews his spells and considers tactics to use in various situations that might arise.
